10 Dance Moves to Impress a Crowd

Dancing has always been a way to help channel your emotions and feelings into displays of rhythm and self-expression. This form of self-expression can also be soo good enough, it can wow the crowd with your impressive moves. Here are 10 dance moves that can impress any crowd who is watching your display of dancing creativity. 

1. Moonwalk

Ok, for starts let’s just talk about who this is more than just a dance move, rather this technique symbolizes an artistic movement. This “Moon Walk” was created no other than the legendary king of pop Michael Jackson where it involves gliding your feet across the floor in a smooth rhythm style. If you know how to do a dance move created by this legendary figure Michael Jackson, you are sure to get a lot of cheers.

2. Shmoney dance

Let’s go back in time and enjoy an era where we could enjoy a time of throwbacks and dancing.  The “Shmoney dance”, was created by rapper Bobby Shmurda following up his number one track Hot Boy is one of those dance moves that does not involve that much choreography, but rather you throwing your hat up in the air along with your hands, and when that beat drops just let your hands and hips move side to side feeling that lit feeling.

3. Junebug

What started as a simple Tik Tok challenge has now become a dance movement all across the world. The dance style went viral back in the spring of 2021 when rapper Spottemgottem released his track Beat Box, soon after people took to social media just doing a simple dance where it is almost reminiscent of an Egyptian style walk where he calls it the “Junebug”. Hey, it may look silly but this dance move has enough style to get any crowd lit.

4. Bop

Da Baby certainly has been on a roll in the rap game when it comes to making record sales and selling out shows. His one song Bop however sparked a dance movement all over Instagram. It did not take long for this dance trend to go viral where its movements involve pretending that you are driving a car but in a low rider position. The concept of this dance is to show that you got that style or “Bop” you could say. I swear you can just come up with the most fun dance trend that involves little effort and become an overnight sensation just like that.

5. Swag Surfin

Ok, some dance trends can only appeal to a certain generation. “Swag Surfin” was that number one millennial dance trend of its time when it came to having the best time with your friends. Fast Life Yungstaz released this track back in 2009 where the purpose of the dance is to link up with your squad, wrap your arms around each other’s shoulders, and when that beat drops, you all rock side to side. Hints, why it’s called Surfin, is because we’re making that fluid wave motion.

6. Woo

Before his death, rapper Pop Smoke’s music left behind a huge inspiration in the rap industry. Pop Smoke started the “Woo” dance involving stylish hip and leg movements while waving one hand in the air. This dance trend has been shown in a majority of his songs like Make It Rain, Christopher Walking, and of course the song that started it all the Woo. Pop Smoke was that one rapper where if you did not know any good dance routines, you can find that one simple dance trend and woo the crowd with your skills.

7. Body

If you have been keeping up in the music industry, you would know that Drill UK music has been making its way to the top. This is said to be the newest style of rap music coming from the United Kingdom where most of the lyrics have more of a cultural touch. UK drill artist Tion Wayne made his debut dropping his track Body where this UK dance style finally came over to America and in no time made it big. This dance style is almost very reminiscent of the bop, as soon as you hear that beat drop, you feel like you have that bop while looking like your leaning back. Two simple dances mixed with one is certainly a way to impress the crowd.

8. The Carlton

Some Dance moves are so good, they don’t require a song. If you want to appeal to more of a mature crowd with some more funny dance moves ” The Carlton” is the move to bust on the dance floor. 
This dance move is recognized by the sitcom show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air’s actor, Carlton, where he just can not contain his excitement so he has to put his joys into dance moves. The next time you want to dance at your next family get-together and you do the Carlton, everyone will recognize this move and will instantly feel the urge to join in.

9. The Windmill

Some people are different when it comes to dancing. There are your regular casual party seen dancers and then you got your die-hard dedicated street performance dancers who take dance moves to a whole other level with crazy moves that involve soo much agility and endurance. One dance skill that separates the beginners from the advanced is the “Windmill”. This may be an 80s style dance move involving fast on-the-floor body spins, but the fact that it is so difficult to master is what makes this move is one of the best ones to watch.

10.  The Wobble

If there was a dance that would take the first prize of being the best group dance at the family wedding or cookout, ” The Wobble” would be the dance that wins. The dance has just the right movements to get that special tipsy groove of footwork, hip movements, and hand waves to make any function an enjoyable time.

Dancing has certainly come a long way from complex routines that require soo much choreography to making up your simple dance trend. Do you have a favorite dance trend that you think is good? Let me know in the comments below.
