[Mera Dance] Choreography You Can Dance 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.

[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.

If you want to dance something cool, how about perfectly copying a routine from a famous high school dance team? The Tomioka High School Dance Club in Osaka, which shot to fame with their “Bubble Dance,” performs ‘Mela!’ with outstanding choreography and a breathtaking performance.

Top-level dance will definitely feel difficult, but if you can pull it off, it’s incredibly cool, right? If you want to nail it and look awesome at your middle or high school sports festival, you should definitely train hard and show it off!

Merah dance incorporating a parachute (parachute-balloon)

How about dancing a classic sports day routine, the parachute performance, combined with Mela Dance? Strike a pose during the intro, then gather around the parachute and dance.

Once you grab the parachute, incorporate age-appropriate moves in time with the music.

It’s also cute to go under the parachute and pop your faces in and out to the rhythm.

Parachute routines create an impressive performance even for younger children, so they pair perfectly with the upbeat vibe of Mela Dance!

With simple movements that instantly look lively—like big claps overhead while jumping, or exaggerated marching steps with broad upper-body motions—the dance is designed to be eye-catching while staying easy.

The highlight is in the chorus, where everyone jumps and strikes their favorite pose!

[For Nurseries and Kindergartens] “Mela!” Original Choreography

Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Mela [Original Choreography] Sports Day Dance and Recital Dance for Nursery Schools and Kindergartens

Here’s a recommended idea for those looking for choreography for preschools and kindergartens.

This approach keeps the choreography simple while making the most of “Mela!”—its powerful tone and exhilarating, fast-paced sound.

For example, use a box step during the A section and side steps during the B section.

You can also match the rhythm by making big arm circles or flipping the backs of your hands front and back.

With this, everyone from small children to adults can get excited using the same choreography!

[Rainbow Project] Kids tried dancing to ‘Mela!’.

[Rainbow Project] Kids tried dancing to Mela! [We tried dancing]

How about trying choreography that incorporates a jump rope? First, in the first verse, bundle the jump rope in your hand and twirl it toward the ground.

In the pre-chorus, keep holding the rope while marking steps.

Then, in the hyped-up chorus, rotate the rope as if twisting it while marching in place.

There are many other possible moves, so feel free to add your own variations.

It could also be fun to use moves unique to a group, like having two people hold and swing the rope together.
