[School Culture Festival] Ideas for Dance Group Names: Tips on How to Create Them (11–20)

Lovely 〇〇

Lovely 〇〇

Perfect for a cute-concept group! Here are some ideas for “Lovely 〇〇.” In recent years, there’s been a cute boom driven by idols.

These ideas are great for groups with a cute concept that boosts self-esteem.

For the “〇〇” in “Lovely 〇〇,” try inserting your favorite word or number.

For example, a school or class name, or words related to your favorite artist or character would work well.

Wishing you a catchy and adorable group name!

The plural “s” in English.

Of course, there are cases where it should be pronounced like “su,” but how about using that plural “-z” sound at the end of a name? NBA teams like the Detroit Pistons and the New Orleans Pelicans also have that “-z” vibe and it sounds cool.

As a base idea, take something you like or are interested in and add “-z”: you can get lots of cute name candidates like Cosmez, Lipz, Zooshies, Vanityz, Mickeyz, Minniez, and so on.

If you’re aiming for a cooler feel, add “-z” to a strong animal—how about Sharkz or Jaguarz?

Pretty + (number/word)

Pretty + (number/word)

It might feel a bit cheesy, but that could actually make it cute.

How about templates that use “Pretty,” like “Pretty ○○” or “Puritī ○○”? For a group of nine, you could go with “Pretty Nine,” and if it’s a volleyball team, “Pretty Volleyball”—just putting “Pretty” at the front surprisingly makes it sound like a team name.

You could make it even cuter with something like “Pretty Heart” or “Pretty Angel”—those aren’t half bad either.

You could even play up the awkwardness for laughs with something like “Pretty Class 2-E.” Have fun coming up with Pretty names together!

Sweet 〇〇

Sweet 〇〇

Group names with a sweet and soft impression! Here are ideas for “Sweet 〇〇.” Since “sweet” can also take on meanings like “cute,” “kind,” and “lovely,” it’s a word that fits well with different group concepts.

It’s a charming term you might want to use based on your group’s theme.

For the “〇〇” in “Sweet 〇〇,” try inserting your favorite word or number.

Combining it with an unexpected word can create impact and make it more memorable for attendees.

Showcase your individuality with kanji! Here are some ideas using “風雅.” When brainstorming group names, do you find that English words or katakana options tend to dominate? By intentionally choosing a two-kanji group name, you can create impact and highlight uniqueness! The characters “風雅” are read as “fūga” in Japanese, and apparently pronounced “fēng yǎ” in Chinese.

Originally referring to poetry and the arts, the term has come to be used with meanings like elegance, refinement, and grace.

Enter the name of the dance genre

Enter the name of the dance genre

Simple and easy to understand! Here are some ideas for adding a dance genre to your group name.

When you pack too many preferences into a name and it gets long, it can be hard for attendees to remember.

If you want a name that’s easy to remember or your group dances within a set genre, this could be perfect.

Dance genres are diverse—K-pop, hip-hop, jazz, street, and more.

Try combining not only the dance genre but also your group’s unique personality when you come up with a name.

Komachi

Komachi

Because the Heian-period poet Ono no Komachi was renowned for her beauty, the term “Komachi” became established as a name for a beautiful woman.

It’s well known as a cute, endearing label, as seen in examples like the idol group “B-Komachi” from the anime Oshi no Ko.

By incorporating “Komachi” into your group name, you can straightforwardly showcase your own cuteness.

Using a format like “XX Komachi,” where you place your own word in front, lets you highlight not only cuteness but also your unique personality.
