Super Mario


Mario Brothers is beloved by both parents and kids.
Let’s dance to this routine set to a beat-driven Mario Brothers theme.
The easy-to-learn choreography and the part where you can choose the moves of your favorite character make it especially fun.
There are hip-hop inspired sections too, and the cool vibe will get kids grooving.
Once you’ve learned the moves, you might find yourself dancing along to the music at home while playing the game—this track is that much fun.
Under the SeaRitoru Māmeido


With its pleasant calypso rhythm, this song is brimming with the joys of the ocean world.
Featured in Disney’s 1989 animated feature film, it was cheerfully performed by the little mermaid’s crab friend and went on to win both an Academy Award and a Grammy.
The version covered by miwa in 2017 for the Sokenbicha commercial also leaves a strong impression with its bright, lighthearted feel.
Its melody is perfect for school sports day dance time, and the 2/4 rhythm naturally brings smiles as children can’t help but sway along.
Lively and fun for everyone to dance to, this energetic piece is sure to liven up any sports day.

The dance for Children’s Kabuki looks incredibly powerful and cool when performed by five-year-olds! The song gives a pop impression, but the choreography is packed with many Kabuki elements, making it a performance you can’t help but watch intently.
If you match the costumes to the music with a Kabuki-like, traditional Japanese look and incorporate Kabuki makeup, it adds even more impact.
Since many of the moves are very dynamic, this is an idea we definitely recommend to teachers who want their older kindergarteners to showcase a uniquely powerful dance.
Bubbly Paradehiromichi & tanizou

Hiromichi & Tanizo’s songs capture children’s hearts and never let go! Set on a tropical island, this piece depicts a parade of animals in colorful costumes dancing joyfully.
With its bright rhythm, there are parts where you imitate the animals’ movements and shout call-and-response together, so even those just watching the dance will feel uplifted.
This track is included on the album “Hiromichi & Tanizo’s Sports Day for Everyone, by Everyone, for Everyone!” It’s sure to be a big hit at kindergarten and nursery school sports days! With fun choreography that kids can learn right away, everyone can get excited together.
I wish you lots of happinessnaniwa danshi

How about “Sachiare,” which is also beloved as the opening theme for the morning show Mezamashi TV? It’s a song by the idol group Naniwa Danshi, and it drew attention for having lyrics and music written by Yuzu’s Yujin Kitagawa.
The lyrics overflow with a sense of happiness and are sure to fill the venue with a warm atmosphere.
The original choreography has a relaxed tempo, so it seems adaptable for your use.
There are many arm-swinging movements, making it a good match for pom-pom dancing as well.
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism

As the theme song of the hugely popular anime SPY×FAMILY, this track is also a big hit with kids.
Its energetic, driving sound and refreshing, poppy melody pump up the excitement and give a cool impression to both children and adults.
To make it easy for preschoolers to dance, it’s best to incorporate simple, recognizable moves, like gestures that evoke peanuts or motions like “bye-bye” and “searching.” The key is to keep a steady, slightly relaxed rhythm so you don’t get swept away by the high tempo.
Happy SongTokyo Dizunīrando


The dance track from Tokyo Disneyland, overflowing with smiles and energy, is perfect for enjoying with your kids.
Featuring a bright, positive message and a lively rhythm, it’s irresistibly catchy—just listening will make your body start moving.
Released in September 2020 alongside the opening of the attraction “The Happy Ride with Baymax,” this energetic song incorporates the world of the Disney film Big Hero 6.
Created to match the attraction’s theme, it’s also included on the album “Tokyo Disney Resort 35th ‘Happiest Celebration!’ Grand Finale Music Album.” With its catchy melody and up-tempo beat, it’s fun for children who love dancing and even those who aren’t confident dancers will feel like joining in.
It’s a great track for the whole family to dance to together, making it perfect for sports days and family events!
