While these tracks are trending, the magic lies in personalization. Edit tempos, layer in sound effects (like a thunderclap for a Tango dip!), or splice songs to surprise your audience. The best choreography doesn’t just follow the music—it converses with it.
Now turn up the volume and let the rhythm move you!
