Halloween is the perfect time to get a little spooky, a little dramatic, and a whole lot of creative on the dance floor! Whether you’re planning a class combo, a showcase piece, or a fun studio video, this is your chance to turn your choreography into a haunted performance that thrills and chills.
Here are some Halloween choreo ideas to bring those ghostly vibes to life:
🕸️ 1. Haunted House Hip-Hop
Set the scene with eerie lighting, fog, and bass-heavy beats. Think sharp movements, isolations, and surprise freezes — like ghosts popping out from the dark! Songs like “Disturbia” by Rihanna or “Monsters” by Katie Sky work perfectly.
🩰 2. Ghostly Grace (Contemporary or Lyrical)
Float across the floor like spirits in the moonlight. Use flowing fabric, slow turns, and suspended leaps to create that hauntingly beautiful vibe. Try “Control” by Halsey (acoustic) or “Haunted” by Beyoncé.
🧛 3. Jazz With a Bite
Go full Broadway Halloween! Mix sharp jazz walks, sassy poses, and theatrical expressions — think vampires, witches, or spooky dolls. Great songs: “I Put a Spell on You” or “Black Magic Woman.”
🦴 4. Skeleton Crew Freestyle
Perfect for group classes! Glow-in-the-dark skeleton shirts or body paint + group formations = an instant showstopper. Use songs like “Bones” by Imagine Dragons or “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish for a creepy-cool vibe.
🎭 5. Storytime Choreo: The Haunted Stage
Create a short narrative piece where dancers tell a spooky story — maybe a ghost who just wants to dance again, or a doll that comes to life. Combine multiple dance styles and add expressive acting for extra drama.
No matter your style, Halloween is your time to experiment, express, and enchant. Add creative lighting, fog, or props — even subtle makeup — to make your performance unforgettable.
So gather your dancers, cue the spooky playlist, and let the spirits move you! 🕷️
Because this Halloween, every step tells a ghost story… and every dancer is part of the magic.
