Senbonzakura is a song written, composed, and arranged by Kurousa-P.

It has been covered by many artists and remains hugely popular in “tried singing” and “tried playing” videos.

It’s a big hit with children—why not dance to it cheerfully and energetically? In keeping with the title “Senbonzakura,” you could use cherry blossom branches, and since it has a traditional Japanese flavor, it would also look great with Japanese-style costumes.

If your team incorporates movements like Yosakoi, it could become a wonderful performance for a school sports day and a great memory with friends.

chantAdo

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?
