The secret to a great flashmob? It starts with the music.
You could have the best choreography in the world — if the song doesn’t hit the right note, the energy will fall flat.
Here’s how to choose a flashmob song that brings joy, gets people dancing, and creates unforgettable memories.
Pick a song people know (and love)
The best flashmobs create an instant connection with the audience.
That connection often comes from the music: a recognizable, feel-good track that makes people smile from the first note.
Choose a song that makes people say : "Oh yes! I love this one!” instead of “Wait, what is this?”
A familiar song helps:
- Get more people dancing
- Make the choreography easier to follow
- Build excitement and emotional impact
Choose a rhythm that’s easy to dance to
You don’t need a super fast beat or complex tempo. The key is to find a steady, catchy rhythm that makes you want to move. Think of tracks like Happy (Pharrell Williams), Uptown Funk (Bruno Mars), or I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas) — simple, powerful, and infectious.
Bonus: a clear rhythm makes it easier to learn the dance steps… especially if your group includes beginners. Learn here why it is so important to keep your flashmob easy.
Match the music to the moment
Are you planning a wedding surprise, a birthday party, or a team-building event?
The best flashmob song is one that fits your message.
Think about the participants
Who’s going to dance? If it’s a mixed group of ages, avoid lyrics that are too modern, niche, or explicit. If it’s mostly non-dancers, avoid fast or syncopated tracks.
We recommend choosing music that’s:
- Easy to follow
- Crowd-friendly
- Fun to rehearse (yes, you’ll have to practice a little 😉)
