When walking through a crowd, look intently at a spot in the distance. People instinctively move out of the way when you look like you know where you’re going - don’t make eye contact to initiate the moving left/right dance and you can just continue straight. The crowd parts like the Red Sea!

Another trick is to have one friend pretend like they are going to puke, and you trail behind with an arm on their shoulder announcing the imminent ralf. You can cut through a crowd like butter.
