[Sports Day] Flag Dance Choreography Ideas (21–30)
You don’t have to force a smile.Jupiter Girl

The perfect song for a beautiful, graceful choreographed dance is “You Don’t Have to Force a Smile.” It was created by singer-songwriter Atsu Mizuno and uses the vocal synthesizer KAFU.
With its beautifully resonant piano sound, the elegance of the flags fluttering will stand out.
Use two flags: begin by holding them together for the first part, then switch to one in each hand in the latter half for a more dynamic performance.
This will create a stronger sense of unity and make the routine more powerful.
Go, Sakura! / Cheer up, Sakura!THE SUPER FRUIT

The perfect match of chorus lyrics and choreography for flag dancing is THE SUPER FRUIT’s “Sakura Fure Fure.” Released in 2023 as their third single, it was selected as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s music variety show “Buzz Rhythm 02.” A flag even makes a brief appearance in the music video, making it ideal for flag dance.
Seeing children energetically waving their flags to the chorus lyrics is sure to delight their parents and guardians.
In conclusion
The songs we introduced this time included many rhythms that are perfect for gracefully twirling flags.
A wonderful performance woven from the elegant movements of the flags and the music will surely become a moving highlight of the sports festival.
By practicing repeatedly and synchronizing your movements, you will create a marvelous stage that will remain in the audience’s hearts.
