Cheer is always changing, and the 2023-2024 season is no exception. Several leagues have announced significant changes to their music duration requirements, and IPP Music is here to ensure that cheerleading programs worldwide can adapt seamlessly.

1-minute-45-seconds-cheer-music

2023 NCA/NDA College Rule Change:

In a significant move, the NCA/NDA College has adjusted the video requirements for teams competing in the Jazz, Pom, and Hip-Hop Divisions. Teams must now submit a performance routine of any style, one minute and forty-five seconds (1:45) minimum in length. This change eliminates the need for editing or split screens, focusing on the raw talent and creativity of the performers.

USASF DANCE RULES 2023-2024:

The USASF has also made adjustments to their dance rules. Each team will now have a minimum of 1 minute and 45 seconds (1:45) to a maximum of 2 minutes and 15 seconds (2:15) to demonstrate their style and expertise. The timing will begin with the first choreographed movement or note of the music and end with the last, providing a new framework for creativity and expression.

2023-2024 CDE DANCE Rule:

CDE Dance has followed suit, implementing a time limit that aligns with the other leagues. Teams will have a minimum of 1 minute and 45 seconds (1:45) to a maximum of 2 minutes and 15 seconds (2:15) to showcase their style and expertise.

Published July 30, 2023

If you’re passionate about cheerleading, then you know that cheer music and cheer competitions are a big deal. Whether you’re a cheerleader, a coach, or simply a fan, you’ve likely had questions about the music that gets the crowd roaring and teams soaring. Today, we answer all your burning questions about cheer music, its role in cheer competitions, and more.

Who Makes Competitive Cheer Music?

When it comes to competitive cheer music, IPP Music stands at the forefront of the industry. Recognized as the Official cheer music provider of USA Cheer, they’ve earned their reputation through years of providing high-quality mixes tailored to the rhythm and energy of cheerleading.

What Kind of Music is Suitable for Cheerleading?

Cheer music needs to be energetic, upbeat, and engaging to inspire the cheerleaders and enthrall the audience. Mixes often include a range of genres, from pop and hip-hop to rock and electronic. The tempo plays a key role, with 146 beats per minute (bpm) being the standard for most high school, all-star, and college cheer mixes.

Where Can I Find Cheer Dance Music?

If you’re in need of high-quality dance routine music, you’ll first need to establish whether you have the budget for a Custom Dance Mix ($875+) or a Premade Dance Mix ($99+). The difference between the 2 options comes down to customization.  Custom Mixes offer a full spectrum of customization whereas Premade Dance Mix customization is slightly narrower.  For most teams, premade mixes provide all the customization they are looking for.  You can add a team name to the mix for just $10. IPP offers a wide range of dance mixes that strike the perfect balance between rhythm and energy, ensuring your cheer dance routine is a surefire hit!

How Do Cheer Teams Get Their Music?

Cheer teams typically purchase licensed music from reputable production companies like IPP Music. Licensed music ensures that all copyright laws are adhered to and allows teams to focus on what they do best: creating stunning cheer routines!

How Much Do Cheer Mixes Cost?

The cost of cheer music can vary depending on the type of mix. Custom mixes, tailored to a team’s specific requirements, range between $875 and $3300 per mix. On the other hand, premade cheer mixes, which can also be customized, range from $65 to $250 depending on duration. For example, here is the pricing for IPP’s Custom Cheer Mixes:

CUSTOM CHEER MUSIC PRICING

How Much Does Custom Cheer Music Cost?

Custom cheer music pricing can depend on the complexity and length of the mix, with prices generally falling between $875 and $3300 per mix. These mixes are specifically designed to suit the unique needs and routines of each cheer team, making them a worthy investment.

How Do You Pick a Cheer Song?

For custom mixes, you typically need to select 4-5 songs to be incorporated into the mix. IPP Music uses a third-party song provider, Songs for Cheer, where teams can choose their preferred tracks. If you opt for a premade mix, you don’t need to select any songs, although you do have the option to swap out existing songs if desired.

How Many 8 Counts in a Routine?

wdt_ID Length 115bpm 120bpm 125bpm 130bpm 135bpm 140bpm 146bpm 150bpm
1 1:00 14 14 15 16 16 17 17 18

5 2:30 35 37 38 40 42 43 45 46

The number of 8 counts in a routine depends on its length. For a one-minute routine, you would typically have around 17 counts, while for a one minute 30 seconds routine, you’d have around 26 counts. It’s important to note that the number of counts is independent of where songs blend in a cheer mix; not every song switch in a mix corresponds to an 8 count, though it’s typical that they do.

What Do Cheer Judges Look For in Competitions?

When it comes to cheer competitions, judges assess teams on a multitude of factors. It’s not only about the gravity-defying stunts and precision of the dance moves but also about the synergy between the performance and the music.

The music selection plays an indispensable role in crafting a winning cheerleading routine. A high-quality mix that complements the team’s energy can significantly influence the judges’ overall impression. It sets the tone and pace of the routine and can enhance the impact of the stunts and choreography. A well-crafted cheer mix can uplift the performance, making the routine more dynamic and engaging, hence persuading the judges in favor of the team.

Conversely, a poorly selected or low-quality cheer mix can negatively impact the performance, making even the most complex stunts seem out of sync or less impressive. The judges aren’t just looking for a good performance but a complete package where the music and routine work together to create an unforgettable show.

Timing is another crucial aspect. Each cheerleading routine must adhere to a specified length, and the music should fit within this timeframe. Music that exceeds the allotted time can lead to penalties or even disqualification. Therefore, teams must ensure their music ends when their routine does to avoid any timing mishaps.

Lastly, the content of the music matters greatly. Profanity or even perceived profanity in the lyrics can lead to immediate disqualification. It’s crucial that the music used in cheerleading routines is clean and suitable for all ages, reflecting the spirit of cheerleading as a sport that promotes positivity, teamwork, and athleticism.

In conclusion, what cheer judges look for isn’t just skill and enthusiasm. They’re looking for a cohesive performance where the music amplifies the team’s energy and synchronization. A well-chosen, high-quality cheer mix that abides by the rules can be a game-changer in winning cheerleading competitions.

How Do You Win a Cheerleading Competition?

Winning a cheerleading competition involves a combination of factors. Teams must perfect their stunts, dances, and tumbling, ensure their routine is original and engaging, and most importantly, bring an unmatched level of energy and spirit to their performance. And remember, the choice of music and its synchronization with the routine can make a big difference!

Cheer music is the heartbeat of any cheerleading routine. Understanding its intricacies can elevate your team’s performance and ensure your routines are always a hit with the crowd and judges alike. Whether you’re investing in a custom mix or opting for a premade mix, remember that the best cheer music embodies the energy, rhythm, and spirit of your team. So, ready to hit the cheer mat with some awesome tunes? Let’s do this!

You can choose your songs, where sound effects are placed, the amount of voice overs/vocals, where the vocals are placed, the tone/mood of the mix and etc.  This mix is made custom just for you.

Premade Mixes

Your other option for routine music are premade mixes!  These mixes are great for teams on a budget and who need mixes quickly.  In fact, most companies who offer premade mixes have them available for immediate download. premade mixes cost 100s less than custom mixes.  Although you won’t have as much creative control, you will still be able to customize with add-ons such as voice overs, sound effects, song swaps and more.   These mixes can have a custom feel at a fraction of the price.
