Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero,” which became a hot topic as the Tomioka High School dance club performed it across various media.
Originally released in the ’80s, the song caught fire again with the “bubble-era” dance.
Its distinctly ’80s-style choreography sticks in your head after just one viewing.
We recommend this song for those confident in their dancing or for classes that want to try a synchronized routine.
It’s guaranteed to get everyone excited at the sports festival.
Since it’s also enjoyable for parents’ generation, guardians coming to watch the field day or sports festival are sure to love it.

Let’s give it a tryWANIMA
This is the hit song “Yatte Miyou” by the hugely popular band WANIMA.
If you’re looking for catchiness over complex melodies or refined sensibilities when showing off a dance, “Yatte Miyou” is a great choice.
It’s a cover arrangement of “Oka wo Koete,” composed by Ichiro Fujiyama.
Since it’s a famous children’s song, everyone will likely find it familiar! That makes it a perfect pick to let people enjoy both the music and the dance.

Ice Cream with Selena GomezBLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is an idol group whose high-level performances have won popularity not only in Korea and Japan but also in the United States.
Active since the 2010s, they are now becoming a global group.
A recommended piece for their creative dance is Ice Cream with Selena Gomez.
It’s a collaboration with singer-songwriter Selena Gomez, featuring a unique sound crafted like danceable trap music.
Don’t Start NowDua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s hit song, “Don’t Start Now.” She’s an artist known for her captivating husky lower-register voice.
Dua Lipa is also beautiful enough to work as a model, and she’s multi-talented, showcasing her dancing in music videos and more.
“Don’t Start Now” has a very prominent bassline, making it quite easy to keep the rhythm.
However, since it’s not a song with a powerful, dramatic melody, be sure to plan carefully where you want to make your impactful moments.
The difficulty is on the higher side, but definitely give it a try!
Peter PanYuuri
A cool track where the prickly lyrics and Yuuri’s emotional vocals pair perfectly.
“Peter Pan,” with its striking, wake-you-up kind of message, is the song that led to his major-label debut, and the music video’s uniquely powerful contemporary dance is unforgettable too.
Many were surely captivated by the brilliant collaboration with yurinasia, the dancer who went viral on social media.
There are also numerous dance-cover videos online, and it’s a top recommendation for creative dance performances at school festivals.
It’s a song you’ll want to dance to, carrying a message that cuts lightly through everyday life.
Wake Me UpAvicii
The late DJ who became a star, Avicii, and his hit song “Wake Me Up.” Sadly, Avicii has passed away, but his music continues to live on.
Among his tracks, “Wake Me Up” was especially successful and is notable for its uplifting lyrics.
It isn’t unconventional, but its strong rhythm makes it perfect for creative dance.
With its powerful melody, I think it also suits hip-hop and breakdance.
As It WasHarry Styles
It feels like a track with the vibe of late Showa to early Heisei-era Japan.
I’m torn between leaning into hip-hop dance or highlighting ballroom-style movements—there are a few angles to approach it from.
Fast beats like this really make footwork shine, so even incorporating moves from entirely different eras, like drum and bass step or Charleston style, would surprisingly fit well.
Since Western music can be less memorable for first-time listeners, stopping the footwork in the chorus and adding a striking piece of choreography would make a great accent.
