These 23 Freeze Dance Songs & Playlists Will Make Your Life So Much Easier

The freeze dance phenomenon isn’t a new sensation. Long before we had Pandora or Spotify or Apple Music playlists with built-in pauses, moms and teachers were punching stop on boomboxes at every birthday, drama class, and elementary school wiggle break. But today it’s oh so much easier to get kids up and moving and having fun with music. These 23 freeze dance songs and playlists will have your shaking if off faster than you can say “T Swift.”

Better yet? These playlists were designed specifically with kids in mind, so you also won’t have to censor the lyrics yourself by loudly singing over them or racing to your iPhone in time. Some even have instructions for kids on when and how to freeze each time the music stops sparing you the sometimes difficult task of explaining a game to a room of rowdy children.

With these playlists in your cue, you can redirect kids' crazy energy and get their blood flowing, then slowly transition back to a more quiet activity. Trust the process, teachers use this method all the time. And, chances are, you’ll like these playlists so much, you might find yourself dancing to them, maybe even on your own!
