[For Kids] Songs Perfect for Dancing at Christmas! A Roundup (21–30)
paprikaFoorin
Paprika, announced as the NHK 2020 Cheer Song, was written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu, who is extremely popular among younger generations.
Different versions are performed on various NHK children’s programs, and the Kenshi Yonezu version was also released on NHK’s Minna no Uta as the song for August–September.
It’s now being chosen as a dance track for children at various events such as sports days.
If you want to liven up a Christmas party, you can’t leave this song out!
loveHoshino Gen

This is the song famous for the “Koi Dance,” and it became a huge craze because the cast danced to it in the ending of the drama “We Married as a Job!” which starred Gen Hoshino himself.
All the kids were imitating the choreography, weren’t they? When it comes to songs that can liven up a Christmas party, this is probably the first one that comes to mind for many people!
Santa and the Little ReindeerYamano Satoko

A Christmas song titled “Santa-san and Mr.
Reindeer,” with lyrics and music by Toshihiko Shinzawa—who has composed many children’s songs—and vocals by Satoko Yamano, who performed as the “singing big sister” on NHK Educational TV’s “Yukai na Concert.” Because this piece was created as a play song for children, kids can dance along while enjoying the cheerful music and even pretend to be Santa or a reindeer!
Starry Sky CarnivalSakushi: Fuyumori Kayoko / Sakkyoku: Hayashi Akira

This is the song “Hoshizora Carnival,” sung by Daisuke Oniisan and Atsuko Oneesan on NHK’s ‘Okāsan to Issho.’ It’s not specifically a Christmas song, but just listening to it makes you want to start dancing! With simple choreography, even younger kindergarteners can dance to it, but you could also skip setting any choreography and just have everyone hop, hold hands and spin, and dance freely—it would be lots of fun that way too!

“Beru ga Naru,” well-known as the ending theme of NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho”! It’s such a famous song that there are probably few kids who don’t know it.
How about using it as the dance number for your Christmas party? I think many children can dance to it even without practicing the choreography.
Although it’s not a Christmas song, it’s perfect for livening up a Christmas event.
It would be great to have everyone dance to it at the end!
idolYOASOBI

YOASOBI’s song is gaining attention as a dance track that can liven up a Christmas party.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko,” it skyrocketed in popularity immediately after its release in June 2023.
It features a dynamic melody and a rhythm that naturally makes everyone want to move.
There are plenty of choreography videos online, so it’s perfect for dancing together and having fun! It’s highly versatile and can be adapted with simple steps, making it enjoyable for a wide range of ages.
Why not make your Christmas party even more exciting with this bright and cheerful track?
Let’s give it a tryWANIMA

This is the theme song from au’s Santaro series commercial, the “Let’s Try It” version.
If you watch TV, you’ve probably heard it at least once, right? It’s also often used as a dance song at children’s sports days! Since it’s a bright, upbeat tune, I think everyone can have fun dancing to it together!
