I also recommend performing a dance to an uplifting, motivational song.

[Dance] ChantAdo

"Spell" by Ado

Reiwa 6 School Year Dance Performance: “Sho” (Elder/Oldest Kindergarten Class)

How about trying a dance to “Show” sung by Ado, the song that’s become a staple of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights? It’s a very popular track, so many kids have probably heard it.

In the video, the choreography for the chorus is the same as the routine actually performed at Universal Studios Japan.

The tempo is fast, so the moves can be challenging, but even simple choreography becomes more powerful when everyone’s movements are in sync.

Why not give it a try?
