Dancing the bubble-era dance alone
Bubble Dance is a performance that was born in a school dance club, and it tends to evoke the image of a large group executing bold, dynamic movements.
This piece deliberately challenges that image by presenting a Bubble Dance performed by just one person.
Precisely because it’s a solo, attention naturally shifts to the finer details—so be sure to elevate the overall quality, facial expressions included.
You can either carry the whole thing solo, or structure it so that you gradually draw others in and the number of performers increases; that could be interesting as well.
Osaka Prefectural Tominokoji High School – Bubble Dance
This is the performance that can be called the original “Bubble-era dance,” the piece that first brought Tominagaoka High School’s dance club nationwide fame.
Wearing outfits reminiscent of the Bubble era and makeup inspired by the time, they deliver intense movements.
The inclusion of comical motions is also key, making the powerful choreography stand out even more.
The choice of music, anchored by Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” and other songs from that era, further highlights the period aesthetic.
Rehearsal for the year-end party entertainment: Dancing Hero
Bubble Dance is known for the strong impact of its era-inspired costumes, but the choreography is also a key source of its comic appeal.
Keep the choreography firmly in mind and aim for a high-quality performance.
Among the various moves, our attention tends to go to the sharp, snappy sections, but it’s actually the gentler motions before and after that make those sharp moments stand out.
That’s why it’s important to be mindful of every movement.
Since the face basically faces forward, paying attention to your facial expressions will help you bring out an even more comical vibe.

Elementary school students performing the “bubble dance”
The costumes that appeared in the “Bubble Dance” were actually worn by adults, even though they were considered young people.
If elementary school students wear those adult outfits and perform, the gap itself can be entertaining.
Let’s proceed with a structure that highlights that contrast in costume while surprising the audience with a high-quality performance.
To really emphasize the gap, it’s recommended to make the choreography just a little challenging.

Whether someone is good at dancing varies from person to person, and in situations where many people gather—like a school sports festival—you tend to be even more mindful of that.
This is a “bubble dance” with simplified choreography that even large groups with different dance abilities can enjoy.
Rather than perfectly reproducing sharp, precise movements, the focus is on creating the overall vibe together.
Let’s showcase a fun atmosphere as a group.
It’s a performance that prioritizes unity and enjoyment over dance quality.
Tummy-Slimming Dance “Dancing Hero”
Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” is also appealing for its fun tone that evokes the atmosphere of the era.
Let’s make the most of the song’s rhythm and vibe and dance with a fun choreography that doubles as exercise.
The movements give an impression of relaxed timing in sync with the beat, allowing you to move your body calmly even with the energetic music.
If you perform this as entertainment with a large group, the simple moves make it easier to synchronize, which should help create a strong sense of unity throughout.
A bubbly dance you can learn on the spot and perform
The Bubble Dance is known as a performance by dance clubs, so it tends to seem difficult for amateurs with no experience.
This version is a slightly simplified take on the original choreography, designed so even those who aren’t confident dancers can enjoy dancing it.
It keeps the particularly memorable, comical parts of the original, while the other moves are simplified to make those highlights stand out.
Because the choreography is easier, you can dance it more comfortably and clearly convey the fun through your expressions.
