What is Freeze Dance?
Freeze Dance (also called Musical Statues) needs no chairs, no space planning and no equipment — just music that stops without warning. This page is the music controller: press Start, the beat kicks in and the screen says DANCE!; at a secret moment it cuts to silence and flashes FREEZE! Anyone who moves is out, or just play for laughs with no eliminations.
Choose Kids, Party, Fast & Fun or Birthday music, set rounds to Random for real surprises, and optionally add names so the screen tracks who is still dancing and celebrates the last dancer standing.

Freeze Dance FAQ
What is the difference between Freeze Dance and Musical Chairs?
Freeze Dance has no chairs: players dance while the music plays and must freeze like statues the instant it stops. It is easier to set up and safer for very young children.
Can I play without eliminating anyone?
Yes — simply tap Continue after each freeze without marking anyone out. The game keeps running rounds for as long as you like.
Do I need any equipment for Freeze Dance?
Only what the physical game needs (chairs, a ball, a room to move in) and one phone, tablet or laptop. The screen does the hosting: music, timers, commands and scoring.
Does the music come from the site?
Yes — the party music is generated live in your browser, so nothing is downloaded and there are no copyright problems when you play it at an event.
Can I run it from a TV?
Yes. Open the game on a laptop or phone connected to the TV and press Fullscreen. Everything scales up for the big screen.
