It’s guaranteed to stop you in your tracks.
Gather ‘round! Party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
Yabai T-Shirts Yasan is a band, but this track is a cover of a smash-hit EDM song.
The video includes choreography, and its very simple moves really stand out.
The choreography is pretty sloppy, but I think it’s perfect for dancing casually.
If you do dance to it, consider creating your own arrangement.
Now, you too: “Let’s, party people.” It might also be fun to do shuffle dance or the running man to this track.
The original song is LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem.

HappinessAI
AI’s song “Happiness” conveys a powerful sense of hope, as if wishing for happiness to spread throughout the world.
Dancing to this song, imbued with such a wish for happiness, will let you feel the joy through your whole body.
Because it’s a grand piece with a relatively calm rhythm, large movements that highlight its grandeur might work well.
It’s also a good idea to keep the choreography simple—something everyone can synchronize—while staying mindful of the song’s worldview.
