[Weddings & After-Parties] Bubble Dance Entertainment Ideas and Choreography (1–10)
Simple party entertainment! Bubble-era dance
The people participating in the entertainment are basically amateurs, so many might feel that sharp, precise movements like the original “Bubble Dance” are difficult.
This performance lowers the overall difficulty so that even those who aren’t confident in their dancing can give it a try, while still conveying a sense of unity.
The choreography repeats the same movements in blocks, and it’s more important to express fun than sharpness.
Let’s create it with the idea of incorporating some of the original choreography into the simple parts and conveying the world of the piece through costumes.
Bubbly Dance – Easy Arrangement
This performance slightly simplifies and arranges the original Bubble Dance choreography to make it easier to recreate.
Because it carefully selects and emphasizes the parts that convey its comedic worldview, even a small group can convincingly express the atmosphere.
Pay close attention to details like body posture and how each movement is executed, and be sure to reproduce facial expressions as well.
Since the key points of the choreography are firmly captured, it’s hard to notice that it’s been simplified—another factor that makes it even more moving.
Even the bride joins in?! A surprise dance performance at the wedding
Speaking of entertainment acts, they’re usually thought of as something guests perform to celebrate the couple, right? Contrary to that expectation, this performance has the bride joining in near the end.
The idea is to have the bride—who has been watching the act from the best vantage point—be led up onto the stage and deliver a coordinated performance with everyone, creating a humorous vibe.
Since sharp, snappy moves are the appeal of the “bubble dance,” it’s important to consider how much of that can be recreated while wearing a bridal gown.
Bubble Dance, Reiwa Edition
This performance is a Reiwa-era version of the “Bubble Dance,” with Rikka Ihara—who took part back then as a student—taking on the challenge of recreating it.
You can also feel a high level of fidelity in the fact that Avantgardey, produced by akane, who was involved as a coach for the dance club at the time, is participating.
Although it’s called the Reiwa version, the overall structure evokes the bubble era, and the aspect of recreating that time with Reiwa-era technology is an interesting point.
Compared to the dance club days, the addition of various professional skills draws you even more deeply into the world of the performance.
Beginner dancing the bubbly dance
Because the “Bubbly Dance” is a performance aimed at dance club competitions, it tends to seem difficult for beginners.
This version simplifies that challenging choreography so even newcomers can give it a try.
It’s crucial to decide which parts of the original choreography to keep, and by choosing well, you can faithfully convey the original’s comedic vibe.
By reducing the number of moves and creating room to move with ease, you’ll likely boost the overall sense of unity.
Precisely because there are fewer movements, sharpening each one becomes a key point for raising the quality.
Bubble Dance (Exercise Version)
This is an exercise with a fun vibe that incorporates moves from the “Bubble Dance.” The choreography is simpler than the original, making it perfect for a party performance, and it would be a great way to re-energize guests who’ve been sitting for a long time.
It focuses on the particularly comical parts of the routine, so just moving along to it naturally brings out smiles.
You can also simplify the choreography even further to involve more attendees—highly recommended.
A bubble-era dance performed in earnest by a ballet dancer
A ballet dancer takes on the “Bubble Dance,” showcasing how the difference in their specialty genre creates a unique spin compared to the original.
The Bubble Dance is known for its bold performance that incorporates fine, comical movements.
Seeing a ballet dancer—who usually embodies elegance—perform it creates a striking contrast.
Even though the movements are outside their usual repertoire, the dancer’s professional habits—like their sleek posture—show through in various places, which is part of the charm.
If assembling actual ballet dancers is difficult, you could use this as a reference and incorporate movements characteristic of each profession instead.
