Fun and exciting! Dance songs that hype up cultural and school festivals [2026] (131–140)
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
This song was only performed a few times on the comedy duo BAKUSHŌ MONDAI’s show and on the sketch show ENGEI Grand Slam.
From just those few appearances, the CD flew off the shelves, the play count on video sites went through the roof, and it even landed a spot on the year-end Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Why not have everyone perform this guaranteed crowd-pleasing party track? The rap parts are super cool, the chorus is easy to dance to, and best of all, it seems to require less practice time than other dance songs.
If you don’t have much time to rehearse, this is the one I recommend.
Just make sure to really drill the signature “Na-Ka-Ta Dance”!
ice creamRude-α
With such a cute title, you can’t help but get excited wondering what kind of song it is—this one’s a track by the rapper Rude-α.
There’s no set choreography, so feel free to dance however you like based on the pop vibe of the title and melody.
Since you can create the moves freely, you could also put together simpler choreography to suit people who aren’t confident dancers.
For costumes, we recommend taking inspiration from Rude-α’s music video and having everyone wear different colorful outfits!
Look At Her NowSelena Gomez
Here’s the song “Look At Her Now,” where you can see Selena Gomez’s stunning performance.
She’s truly a world-leading artist, and the song, the dance, and her look are all top-tier in quality.
The music video highlights the choreography, so fully recreating it is an option.
Even at a school festival, a show is still a show—why not take on some serious, so-called ‘hardcore’ dance with this track? It’s a cutting-edge, trendsetting song that’s also highly recommended for dance club members.
HACKShuta Sueyoshi
The song itself was included on the 2019 album “WONDER HACK,” but it went viral on TikTok and has surpassed 100 million plays.
With game-like sound effects in the background, the laid-back melody and Shuta’s vocals make it a comfortable, feel-good track.
The simple choreography makes it easy for the audience to dance along, and I think everyone can enjoy it together at events like school culture festivals and campus stage performances! The moves are just so cute, and dancing to it is a lot of fun!
TATTOOTHE BOYZ
If you want to perform a cool dance at your school festival, how about this song by THE BOYZ, a South Korean male idol group formed in 2017? The cool melody and choreography are incredibly appealing! The moves have a distinctive vibe and may look difficult, but they don’t require advanced techniques—anyone can do them with practice.
The energetic hand movements and dynamic use of the body also give you that exciting urge to try them out! And above all, the perfectly synchronized group moves will definitely give you a huge sense of accomplishment when you and your team pull them off!
Closer (Tokyo Remix)The Chainsmokers feat.Nitta Mackenyu
The Chainsmokers’ famous song has been covered by the super handsome actor Mackenyu Arata.
Why not dance along to his vocals—he’s not just a pretty face, he can sing too! It’s an elegant track that seems to fit not only hip-hop but also modern ballet and various other dance styles.
You could come up with endless choreography, so brainstorming together will make great memories.
Nail a cool performance with this track and you might become a star at your school or cultural festival!
Racing into the NightYOASOBI
If you’re looking for a slightly unusual dance track, how about this song? It’s a piece by the music duo YOASOBI, who create songs based on novels.
It was released in 2019 as their debut single.
The bouncy piano phrases and funky bassline are really cool, aren’t they? Unlike a typical dance number, it has a stylish vibe, but the rhythm itself is easy to groove to, so no worries.
You could look for dance cover videos on YouTube, or it’s also fun to come up with your own original choreography.
