TTTwice

TWICE’s “TT,” known for its signature “TT pose” in the chorus, is easy for both adults and kids to imitate, so it’s sure to hype up any sports day or school festival.

Since TWICE is a girl group, it’s especially recommended for girls’ schools.

Of course, it’s also fun for co-ed groups with both boys and girls, but if you want to keep it cute, having only girls perform might be best.

Wearing K-pop–style outfits will enhance the vibe and boost the overall quality.

The choreography is distinctive, so even dance beginners should be able to learn it easily.
