Disney Natsu Matsuri was held at Tokyo Disneyland from 2012 to 2018.

It was a unique event designed to evoke the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese festival.

Among its highlights, Soryo Kobu—a performance staged in front of Cinderella Castle—featured dance with a Japanese flair, blending the charm of old-fashioned festivals with Disney magic.

A simplified arrangement of the choreography uses many linear movements, making it easy to learn, and when performed in unison, it creates a powerful stage presence.

“Under the Sea” from the 1989 film The Little Mermaid is a song characterized by Latin rhythms.

There are choreography tutorial videos on YouTube, which makes it easy for everyone to practice together—another great point.

Also, because the tempo is relatively slow, it might be easy to incorporate as a dance for young children, such as in kindergartens and preschools.

That said, its Latin vibe that naturally lifts your spirits seems like it would fit any event!
