Effective for dieting!? Weight-loss dance you can do at home

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

The “at-home weight loss dance” that became a hot topic on YouTube for a while has practically become a go-to for dieting.

Have you tried any of them?

It all spread from the video that kicked off its popularity, and dances designed to be fun to stick with or adapted to different housing situations also became a buzz, didn’t they?

Here, we’ve lined up a whole bunch of those “slimming dances” for you!

If you’ve been thinking about giving them a try but felt overwhelmed by the sheer number and didn’t know where to start, we hope this helps.

Let’s all work hard and slim down together!
