In the Roblox simulation game Run a Cheer Gym by Wayside Games, choreographing performances requires placing animations, stunts, and formations along a timeline. Players assemble routines using various animation types, balancing individual assignments against full squad actions.
Types of Moves in Run a Cheer Gym
The routine editor divides choreography into several animation and action categories:
- Dance Moves: Squad-wide synchronization steps, such as Royalty, which athletes execute together across the floor.
- Stunt Groups: Lifting sequences where athletes group together to elevate flyers.
- Flyer Skills: Specialized airborne actions, including movements like Left skill hit, assigned directly to individual athletes in a stunt setup.
- Tumbling and Jumps: Acrobatic ground skills and jumping passes designed to add verticality to performances.
Adding and Editing Moves in the Timeline
Creating a routine begins in the main menu under the Routines tab. Free players have access to three routine slots.
- Select Routines from the interface and click New Routine.
- Rename the routine in the top corner of the editor interface and pick a background music track.
- Select an animation category from the library, such as a general dance move or jump.
- Drag and drop the selected action directly onto the routine timeline.
- Adjust the duration by selecting the node on the timeline to determine how many seconds the team holds or performs the animation.
- Trim or remove unneeded animation segments by clicking the segment and using the delete button on the track.
Placing a general move on the main track applies the choreography to every athlete on the floor simultaneously.
Assigning Individual Moves and Stunts
To break up group synchronization so cheerleaders perform distinct actions, use the individual team menu:
- Open the Teams menu within the editor interface.
- Select a specific cheerleader from the list (such as an individual flyer or edge performer).
- Choose an action specific to that athlete, such as Add Stunt Group or a designated flyer skill.
- Place the specific skill directly over the athlete's timeline segment. The timeline highlights red in the athlete's specific lane to confirm placement.
- Once the solo or stunt animation completes, the athlete automatically transitions back into the squad's shared dance or formation.
Beginners who lack advanced animation unlocks can select the default stunt group option to form functional lifts on the mat.
Setting Formations and Floor Positions
Athletes can move across the floor throughout a performance by combining formations with routine moves:
- Preset Formations: The editor includes standard shapes such as Circle, Triangle, and V. Selecting one repositions athletes across preset grid coordinates automatically.
- Custom Positioning: Players can switch to the Customize option to drag individual cheerleaders manually to specific floor positions. This allows one cheerleader to hold the center front while others position along the sides.
Formations can be placed along different parts of the timeline so the squad transitions between shapes between stunt passes.
Timeline Move Limits and Editor Gamepasses
The base game imposes certain restrictions on timeline size and unlocked move sets. Players can expand these limits using Robux passes available on the official game page.
| Gamepass | Robux Price | Effect on Moves and Editing |
|---|---|---|
| More Moves | 129 | Removes the default 200-move timeline editor cap, allowing unlimited moves. |
| Advanced Editor | 179 | Unlocks enhanced editing tools for routine choreography. |
| Extra Stunts | 109 | Expands the roster of available stunt animations. |
| Extra Tumbling | 97 | Unlocks additional acrobatic tumbling animations. |
| Extra Routines | 679 | Adds extra save slots beyond the default three routines. |
| Extra Music | 129 | Unlocks additional background music tracks for routines. |
| Fail Animations | 69 | Adds mistake and drop animations to routine playback. |
Without the More Moves pass, a single routine timeline cannot exceed 200 placed actions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many moves can you place in a routine for free?

How do you make only one cheerleader do a stunt?
Open the Teams menu inside the routine editor, click on the specific cheerleader's name, choose the desired stunt group or flyer skill, and drop it directly onto that athlete's timeline row.
How do you change team formations during a routine?
Navigate to the Formations tab within the editor, select a preset like Circle, Triangle, or V, or switch to Customize to reposition individual cheerleaders by hand on the floor.
