Hidden Talents to Liven Up Parties: Recommended Performances and Acts for Women [2026] (21–30)
backflip
For healthy women, I suggest trying a back handspring.
Even those without gymnastics experience can often learn it quickly, and when you perform it, it will surprise and impress people and liven up the atmosphere.
However, to prevent injury, it’s essential to understand the basic movements and warm up thoroughly.
If you’re not confident, I recommend receiving instruction from a professional instructor or someone experienced.
Learning a new skill is a fun experience and might even grow into a new hobby.
Everyone, please give it a try while ensuring safety!
air guitar
It’s “air guitar,” which became widely known to the public when Dainoji won the world championship.
You do need some technique, but you can pull it off with vibe and momentum! And the great thing about air guitar is you don’t need to prepare anything.
You can start right now!
Hidden Talents That Liven Up Events: Recommended Performances for Women [2026] (31–40)
Bubble Dance
Throw away your embarrassment and fully become the character when you do the Bubble Dance! That’s the secret for both the audience and the dancer to enjoy it to the fullest.
Sharp, crisp moves are crucial, so practicing thoroughly will make it even more impressive! After you dance, people might just see you in a whole new light.
tablecloth trick
In New Year’s TV specials, Masakazu Sakai often performed the tablecloth-pulling trick, and I’m sure many people have thought, “I want to try that,” after seeing him deftly whip a cloth out from under a table loaded with items.
Even just pulling out the cloth while leaving everything on the table untouched is quite difficult, but if you can do it while entertaining the audience, that’s really something.
Koi Suru Fortune Cookie (Flash Mob)
If you can gather a few women, how about doing a flash mob dancing to an idol song? In particular, AKB48’s “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie” is widely known, and the choreography is simple enough for everyone from children to adults to dance.
Soran Bushi
This is the Soran Bushi dance, which has come to be included in events like elementary school sports days.
If a girls’ team performs it wearing twisted headbands and happi coats, it’s sure to give the event a sharp, spirited feel.
It looks better danced by several people rather than solo, so it’s recommended.
Practice using the same video, and you’ll be able to pull it together on the day, so even those short on time should give it a try.
Tone chime performance
For a performance by women, if possible, we’d like to choose something neatly put together and memorable.
How about a piece played on tone chimes, which serve a similar role to handbells but are reputed to be easier and more convenient to handle? The audience will be captivated by their beautifully clear, pure sound.
This might even be the start of a tone chime club…
