[Kids Dance] “Mela!”

Mela! 🎧🔥 [Original Choreography] Great for sports festivals too — Kids Dance

Here’s a recommended idea for when you want to try a slightly more complex choreography.

In the first half, you’ll march in place while matching movements to the lyrics—placing a hand on your chest, extending your hand forward, and so on.

In the chorus, you’ll do a step similar to hopscotch (kenkenpa) while moving your upper body.

The choreography includes hero-like gestures that make it irresistibly fun.

Plus, since the tempo of the moves is slow, it’s easy for multiple people to synchronize.

“Mela!” Pom-Pom Dance

Mela! / Ryokuoushoku Shakai [Sports Day & School Performance Dance] Easy Choreography

The pom-poms that cheerleaders hold in their hands.

Some people pronounce it with a voiced consonant as “bonbon,” but the correct term is “pom-pom.” It comes from the English word “pompon,” which is a type of dahlia.

How about performing a “pom-pom dance” using those pom-poms? Combined with the liveliness of this song, it would definitely make for an exciting routine.

Choreography with straight-line movements like “up-down-up-down” or “right-left-right-left” while holding pom-poms makes the dance look bigger, so it’s especially recommended! You can also create lots of highlights, like forming letters with the pom-poms at the end or having everyone toss their pom-poms into the air.

[Africa ver.] “Mela!” Easy Dance!

Africa ver. [Sports Day Dance] Mela! / Ryokuoushoku Shakai | Easy Choreography [Kindergarten, Nursery, Elementary School, Sports Day, Recital, Performance]

This is a mela dance performed by children in Africa.

Overall, they look to be around elementary school age.

I think even older preschoolers could handle the choreography.

Each move is very simple, like stepping while clapping or twirling your hands in front of your chest.

The biggest highlight of the routine is when everyone does a big jump together.

There’s some time before the next move, so squat down and make a big jump! There are lots of repetitions, and even if you make a mistake you can catch up quickly, so let’s dance with smiles and have fun!

[Idol Classroom] ‘Mela!’

[Tried singing and dancing] Mela! / Ryokuoushoku Shakai [Idol Classroom]

This version of the Mera dance is a cool and cute style like what you’d see from an idol group.

The individual moves are great, but the choreography is designed to really pop when performed by a small group, so I highly recommend trying it with multiple people.

It’s especially appealing how the choreography highlights the lead vocalist, with clever transitions that draw your eyes whenever the vocalist changes.

It seems better suited for a cheer-off or pep-rally segment than for having everyone dance together at a sports day.

“Mela!” Cheer Dance

[Cheer Dance (Ages 3–6)] Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Mela! [JOY SISTERS PETIT]

Cheer dance, which incorporates cool cheerleading moves, is really appealing too.

Jumps like the toe touch, where you spread your legs and jump in place, and the hurdler, where you take the posture of clearing a hurdle, will start to take shape with a bit of practice.

The line dance, made famous by the Takarazuka Revue, is a dance created by everyone working together.

Lots of cheer techniques are uploaded on various video sites, so be sure to use them as references! And of course, the pom-poms you hold are an important element.

You can go glamorous with gold and silver, or strike a cool look with red and black—please discuss it in your class meeting and decide together.

Dance Choreography for Sports Day During the COVID-19 Pandemic: ‘Mela!’

[Sports Day Dance Choreography During COVID] Mela! / Ryokushoku Shakai & Tomoni / WANIMA

You can dance even during an infectious disease outbreak! This is a Mela dance choreography for sports festivals that lets you dance without physical contact or vocalizing.

You’ll basically keep the rhythm with your feet while adding hand movements.

Divide the dancers into three groups to create highlights by staggering the timing, and more.

There are also wave-like moves seen in mass performances or group formations, which look powerful with a large number of dancers.

Feel free to incorporate arranged choreography and finish a Mela dance that reflects your own style.

[For Sports Days and Recitals] “Mela!” Flag Dance

[For Sports Days and School Performances] Ryokuoushoku Shakai “Mela!” Simple Dance Choreography & Flags for Preschool and Elementary School Children

If just dancing normally feels like something’s missing, how about trying a flag dance, where you perform while holding flags? The flags make your movements bigger and flashier, turning it into a very captivating performance.

Choosing bright flag colors will pop against the blue sky and make it a beautiful group routine.

It’s cute, so it’s also great for kindergarten or nursery school dances.

Even simple moves really stand out and perfectly match the vibe of the music!
