[High-quality audio and video] Big Brother Baymax Edition — Tokyo Disneyland The Happy Ride with Baymax (B-A-Y-M-A-X)

This is an upbeat dance song used in the Baymax’s Happy Ride attraction at Tokyo Disneyland.

With the name “Baymax” sung to the rhythm, the song features a lively, friendly melody.

The choreography is very simple—just moving your arms up and down is enough to have fun—so anyone from kids to adults can join in easily.

Effeminate / Golden Bomber – Music Video

It’s a signature song by Golden Bomber, the well-known visual kei rock band.

Along with its catchy melody, the dance is easy to do, so I think it’s perfect for a school sports festival where everyone wants to get pumped up together.

Of course it works great as a dance track, but playing it during the events will definitely hype up the crowd as well.

DA PUMP – U.S.A.

[For Sports Day Dance, Upper Elementary] U.S.A. / DA PUMP Short Flag Instructor Materials

With its up-tempo beat and powerful vibe, DA PUMP’s “U.S.A.” is perfect for a sports day.

When matching flags with your teammates, raise your arms straight up together to make the performance look bright and polished.

Let’s build excitement with unified moves in time with the music.

When moving forward, backward, or side to side, keep a safe distance to avoid bumping into others, and make big, expressive movements to show off your dance.

Don’t forget to smile and have fun while doing your flag dance!
