October 2017 Seirenji Sports Day, Infant Class, Chick Group, “Mickey Mouse March”

Mickey Mouse March, known as the theme song of Mickey Mouse, a character beloved around the world, is a classic tune at Disneyland.

At Tokyo Disney Resort, they present “Jamboree Mickey! Let’s Dance!”, a kids’ dance program inspired by Mickey Mouse March, so why not use it as a reference for choreography? It’s also a great idea to have the children wear Mickey-like ears while they dance!
