Ok. I am 15 and I think it might look a little inappropriate on an 8 year old. But on someone older the combo looks adorableI don't know her exact age but I wouldn't assume she is even older than 8.

We are doing the same thing but with Beyonce. Run The World is our jumps song and Independent women is our dance.Usually we'd just pray or give pep talks. I did other random things with my friends like inside joke related or "pray" to Gwen Stefani because a No Doubt song was playing when we got our bid to All Levels at our last chance competition and considered her good luck.
You described exactly what I do with my middle schoolers!!! Except it's not silver.(I live in Sweden where cheer is like 5-10 years behind so cut me some slack ) but we do full silver glitter eyes with a cateye eyelinee and glitter hair! I absolutely love it haha! Though it's only for our senior team, our youth team only did possibly some mascara, a glitter stripe beside their eye and then hair. Our coaches really don't want them in full makeup.
As for rituals, I only do a small peptalk for my team to stay in the moment and then I have a "handshake" with a girl on the matt. But that's about it haha!
So last season my team would do a sassy version of the Hokey Cokey. Fyi we're an open senior team...!
Not sure if the Hokey Cokey is just a British thing? So for explanation it's a little kids song/dance that they do at primary school. You're supposed to go round all the body parts, and it helps teach kids left and right. Kids love it because the chorus involves everyone running into the middle of the circle three times, often at full speed, and swinging back out.
My team would just do one foot/verse, stomp the floor and sing it really raucously and then all run into the middle and crush each other.
So silly but definitely helped ease the tension and had everyone giggling! Plus yannoooo, we got to hold hands - textbook pre-comp prep
Not just a British thing, but we call it the Hokey Pokey. Definitely the same song and dance though
