Fun and exciting! Dance songs that hype up school culture festivals [2026] (21–30)
SPAGHETTINEW!LE SSERAFIM

For anyone who wants to wow the crowd on a culture festival or school festival stage, we recommend LE SSERAFIM’s pop dance number packed with humor and addictiveness.
Released as a single in October 2025, it made big waves by featuring BTS’s j-hope.
Its unique, food-themed world unfolds with an irresistibly catchy melody that sticks in your head after just one listen.
The choreography, which lets you perform with a bright expression, is another highlight—dance it with friends and the whole venue will be all smiles.
Beloved over time, the song even hit No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart in February 2026.
It’s perfect for students aiming to create an energetic stage!
monsterYOASOBI

For those who want to show a different side of themselves with a cool dance, we recommend “Kaibutsu,” released by YOASOBI in 2021.
It was used as the opening theme for season 2 of the anime BEASTARS.
The melancholic synth tones are striking, and the track has a groovy, tight sound that should pair well with sharp, dynamic choreography.

Sounds goodNEW!M!LK

M!LK is a dance and vocal group that shines across diverse fields such as acting and modeling, captivating fans with their overwhelming live performances.
Released digitally in February 2025 as the lead track from their major second album M!Ⅹ, which dropped in March 2025, this song was also selected as the entrance march for the 98th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in 2026.
The bold transition from classic pop to club sounds and the uplifting message that affirms one’s individuality are particularly striking.
Arranged for wind ensemble, the powerful beat and rhythmic melodies stand out even more, making it a guaranteed showstopper at concerts.
It’s a recommended number for uniting the venue with bright, positive energy.
Always HIGH!DISH//

A DISH// track perfectly suited to color the “now” of high school students, evoking the sparkle of youth and the bonds of friendship.
With its positive message and catchy sound, it inspires listeners and gives them the courage to move forward.
Released digitally in December 2023, this song was written as the required track for the dance video contest “LOVE-Dan – High School Dance Video Fest 2024 –” on Nippon TV’s DayDay.
It’s a cheer song dedicated to every high school student living life to the fullest, and the ultimate dance number that stands alongside their passionate feelings.
It’s the perfect song for stages that showcase dance, such as culture festivals and school festivals!
Specially, do it.NEW!=LOVE

=LOVE’s “Tokubechu, Shite” has the feel of classic Japanese idols.
Its choreography is adorably idol-like and notably easy to learn.
In line with the song’s theme, it features plenty of moves anyone can copy at a glance, like blowing kisses and making heart shapes with the hands.
There aren’t many difficult techniques, and because many moves match the lyrics, I felt the dance is easy to memorize.
Since the choreography prioritizes cuteness, understanding the lyrics and the song’s mood will help you remember it even more.
If you let your girlish charm shine without feeling shy, it’ll surely turn into a great dance—so definitely give it a try!
TT -Japanese ver.-NEW!Twice

This is “TT -Japanese ver.-” by TWICE, a K-POP group that’s also famous in Japan.
This song is one of TWICE’s signature tracks, and I think the choreography is relatively simple.
Its defining feature is, of course, the “TT pose,” which evokes an emoticon.
Inspired by a crying-face emoticon, the choreography is easy for beginners to imitate and is catchy and cute.
Across the whole song, there are a few points to pay attention to, like body isolations and neck angles, which might make it feel a bit challenging for beginners, but I think experienced dancers will find it easy to learn.
If it feels difficult, you might want to try just the chorus first.
mirrorNEW!FRUITS ZIPPER

FRUITS ZIPPER’s song “Kagami” is a track you can have fun dancing to as long as you can ride the rhythm.
The choreography matches the song’s tempo and counts, so if you don’t overthink it and just move with the music and imitate the moves, you might find you can pick it up surprisingly smoothly.
As the title suggests, the theme is a mirror, so the move before the chorus where you open a hand mirror is very catchy and easy to remember.
The chorus choreography, with cat-like hand motions, is also easy to learn, so even beginners should be able to pick it up quickly.
There are many repeated movements throughout the song, so definitely give it a try and dance along.
