DynamiteBTS
In Korea, BTS has gone beyond being just idols and is supported by a wide audience.
Their influence is so immense that people even talk about changing the country’s military service laws to protect their entertainment activities.
How about livening up your school festival with their mega-hit song “Dynamite”? Videos of people dancing to “Dynamite” are posted on TikTok every day.
There are also beginner-friendly remakes of the choreography uploaded on video sites, so even novices are good to go! Plus, Japanese translations of the lyrics are available, so you can sing along rather than just lip-sync—another great selling point of this song!

If you’ve seen the movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly, you’ll know it.
It’s a track by Daichi Miura, who’s been making waves as a performer.
Released in 2018 as his 24th single, it was chosen as the film’s theme song.
The cool sound and the sharp choreography in the music video are striking.
Definitely play it when you want to create a cool vibe at a school festival or cultural festival event.
CharismaxSnow Man
The dance track “Charismax” is one that might prompt cries of “So nostalgic!” depending on the age of the dancers.
Released by Snow Man in 2025, it’s based on the once-trendy para-para dance.
It’s gone viral on social media for its addictive quality and is recommended if you’re looking to pick a hype song.
The choreography uses the whole body with dynamic moves, and it also mixes in elements of robot dance.
If you’re a beginner, it might be better to tweak the tougher parts of the choreography.
Turning Up (R3HAB Remix)arashi
Here’s a song I can proudly recommend to anyone looking for a track for their school festival dance: ARASHI’s “Turning Up (R3HAB Remix),” remixed by world-class DJ R3HAB.
Many people were thrilled by their collaboration.
The arrangement is super stylish and cool.
Dance to this track, feel the unity between the stage and the floor, get into the groove, and make your school festival a blast!
NiziUMake you happy
NiziU is still riding a huge wave with their “Jump Rope Dance,” which lets everyone from adults to kids enjoy dancing casually.
So why not go all out and hype up your school festival with a full-on cover of their song “Make you happy”? There are tons of practice videos uploaded on video sites—watch them and give it your all, and you might just become NiziU-like yourself! No, you definitely can! If you want a good laugh, be sure to bring someone on stage to do a J.Y.
