Why choose a flashmob for your event?
Flashmobs are perfect for weddings, proposals, birthdays—or even brand activations—because they:
- Surprise and unite crowds instantly
- Are accessible to everyone, no matter their dance level
- Create unforgettable, share-worthy moments
At WeFlashmob, we design flashmob routines that are easy, fun, and fast to learn—even for total beginners
1. Start with the right music
A great flashmob starts with the right music — fun, high-energy, and instantly recognizable. Your goal? A track that makes everyone say: “I love this song!”
For weddings or parties, go for crowd-pleasers that work across generations. Familiar songs make it easier to follow the rhythm and get everyone dancing.
To make things simple, at WeFlashmob, we only build our flashmob choreographies on popular songs that are already crowd favorites. You probably know these hits available on our library:
- Happy – Pharrell Williams
- Shake it off – Taylor Swift
- Marry you – Bruno Mars
- Crazy in love – Beyonce

2. Keep the choreography simple
Most participants dance just fine, but not professionally. That’s why your flashmob should be built with simple, accessible, rhythmic moves—ones that look good and feel great.
💡 4 to 6 clear moves are enough to create visual impact and make everyone feel confident about joining in. When someone watches your dance for the first time, the goal is for them to say: “Hey, I can do this!”
This is the core principle behind all our flashmob choreographies : they are designed to be learned quickly, danced easily, and enjoyed fully.
3. Create clear tutorials
To help everyone feel confident and ready, it’s essential to provide simple, guided materials.
That’s why each of our flashmob packs includes:
- A dance tutorial video with voice and visual cues to guide learners step by step
- A dance demo video, performed on the music without any prompts—perfect for practicing before the big day
🎯 This approach lets each person learn at their own pace, repeat when needed, and feel fully prepared to perform.
4. Build a strong core team
Start with a small organizing group to:
- Select the song and choreography
- Coordinate with the DJ or sound operator
- Record rehearsal videos
- Choose leaders for the big day
Begin planning 4 months ahead, bring the broader group in 1 month before, and let them learn around 1 week before the event
5. Communicate smartly
Send a jovial, informative email that includes:
- Event details: where, when, music, and your point of contact.
- Links to both tutorial videos.
- Brief choreography description.
- A shared online video link—avoid bulky attachments.
At WeFlashmob, we even provide you with a ready-to-send email template—just fill in the details and send!
6. Plan for Day‑of logistics
- Ensure ample dance space (remove tables/chairs)
- Tell the DJ to extend the intro (duplicate the first 10 seconds) so everyone can join seamlessly
- Assign group leaders to support and guide others through the routine
- When your flashmob ends, ask the DJ to replay the song—guests who were shy at first will join in, and the energy doubles
