Dirty Talkw-inds.

If you’re into the New Jack Swing revival, how about this? You might get a perfectly effortless vibe if you style the lower half with something like school gym wear.
For the top, throwing on an oversized jacket should set the mood! Since this is the kind of dance that shines through its vibe, focus less on dancing hard and more on nailing the steps cleanly.
It also incorporates 2018’s trend, the “shoot dance.”
Youth NightMōningu Musume. ’19

This is a track by Morning Musume’s 15th generation members from 2019, known for hits like “LOVE Machine”! When it comes to Morning Musume, they have tons of songs that hype up school festivals and events, and this one is no exception.
Just like the lyrics say, it’s an upbeat song that lets you fully enjoy life—and your student life.
The word “seishun” (youth) is even in the title, so put this song on and make the most of that youthful school-festival chapter!
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko

This is Yoko Oginome’s bubbly hit that has made a comeback thanks to comedian Nora Hirano.
It’s hugely popular with kids—as seen with high school dance teams performing full-on bubble-era dances to it—so it’s perfect for a school festival.
Jenny High RhapsodyJenīhai

A track released in May 2019 by Jenny High, a band featuring Japanese stars from comedy and music.
Riding a four-on-the-floor dance beat, it mercilessly teases its lineup of larger-than-life characters.
Still, it’s a provocative piece that packs a sophisticated band arrangement with punchlines so powerful they’ll be stuck in your head after a single listen.
It’s guaranteed to stop you in your tracks.
Dance Music to Hype Up Cultural and School Festivals (61–70)
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.
Harajuku Iyahoikyarī pamyu pamyu

Among Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s many catchy dance tracks, this one is especially easy to dance to and has strong EDM elements.
The music video features lots of people dancing and is super cute, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a performance piece for a school cultural festival.

Despite news such as member departures, this is a signature song by the still-popular idol group Dempagumi.inc.
The dance, which uses ribbons like those in rhythmic gymnastics, is really fun, and its fast tempo makes it easy to get the crowd excited—perfect for a school festival.
