Everyone knows it’s perfectly natural to want to dance when you’re happy, and Disney World is most certainly a place where people are happy. Therefore, it just makes sense that people want to dance while they’re there. For some people, this is as simple as cutting a rug in the middle of a line queue or throwing some skips into their walk down Main Street, U.S.A. However, many others shy away from this kind of spontaneous dancing, preferring a dance party or at least a dance floor to show off their slick moves. Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities to dance, no matter which type of dancer you happen to be. For those who prefer designated dance floors, here’s a list of our favorite places to boogie down in Walt Disney World Resort.
1. Move it! Shake it! MousekeDance It! (Magic Kingdom)
What could be more magical than dancing in Magic Kingdom? Nothing! That’s why the “Move it! Shake it! MousekeDance It!” street party is the ideal place to get footloose. This street party features upbeat music, favorite characters, and lots and lots of awesome Cast Members to jump, hop, and spin with dancing guests of all ages.

2. Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party (Animal Kingdom)
If you prefer to do your dancing with Timon and Rafiki from The Lion King, this is the perfect solution for you. This amazing dance party happens daily at Animal Kingdom, and it couldn’t be more fun. It’s great for adults and kids, making it the perfect family activity, and the atmosphere gets everyone in the dancing mood for sure.
3. Viva Gaia Street Band! Performance (Animal Kingdom)
Of course, Animal Kingdom is just as fun during the day when the Viva Gaia Street Band is playing. This amazing group is tons of fun to watch, but even more fun to dance along with. Don’t worry!
