A Special Feature on Easy-to-Learn Idol Dances! A Roundup of Easy-to-Imitate Choreography (1–10)
TT -Japanese ver.-Twice
This is “TT -Japanese ver.-” by TWICE, a K-POP group that’s also famous in Japan.
This song is one of TWICE’s signature tracks, and I think the choreography is relatively simple.
Its defining feature is, of course, the “TT pose,” which evokes an emoticon.
Inspired by a crying-face emoticon, the choreography is easy for beginners to imitate and is catchy and cute.
Across the whole song, there are a few points to pay attention to, like body isolations and neck angles, which might make it feel a bit challenging for beginners, but I think experienced dancers will find it easy to learn.
If it feels difficult, you might want to try just the chorus first.
Specially, do it.＝LOVE
=LOVE’s “Tokubechu, Shite” has the feel of classic Japanese idols.
Its choreography is adorably idol-like and notably easy to learn.
In line with the song’s theme, it features plenty of moves anyone can copy at a glance, like blowing kisses and making heart shapes with the hands.
There aren’t many difficult techniques, and because many moves match the lyrics, I felt the dance is easy to memorize.
Since the choreography prioritizes cuteness, understanding the lyrics and the song’s mood will help you remember it even more.
If you let your girlish charm shine without feeling shy, it’ll surely turn into a great dance—so definitely give it a try!
mirrorFRUITS ZIPPER
FRUITS ZIPPER’s song “Kagami” is a track you can have fun dancing to as long as you can ride the rhythm.
The choreography matches the song’s tempo and counts, so if you don’t overthink it and just move with the music and imitate the moves, you might find you can pick it up surprisingly smoothly.
As the title suggests, the theme is a mirror, so the move before the chorus where you open a hand mirror is very catchy and easy to remember.
The chorus choreography, with cat-like hand motions, is also easy to learn, so even beginners should be able to pick it up quickly.
There are many repeated movements throughout the song, so definitely give it a try and dance along.
Barefoot SummerNogizaka 46
This Nogizaka46 song features an easy-to-remember choreography that’s great for beginners.
The tempo is a bit on the slower side, yet the song has a fresh, driving, and open feel, and the moves themselves aren’t difficult.
There are many idol-like motions, giving it a catchy charm that feels part choreography, part gestures.
The routine focuses on fundamentals—using the hands and arms and bouncing to the beat—so if you have a good sense of rhythm, you’ll likely pick it up quickly.
The chorus choreography is especially easy to remember, so be sure to watch the video and try copying it.
My cutest partFRUITS ZIPPER
This song isn’t too fast in tempo, and the movements are mainly cute.
The choreography matches the meaning of the lyrics while weaving in a few dance elements.
There are some steps that might be a bit challenging for beginners, but anyone with even a little dance experience should be able to handle it without trouble.
Even for beginners, the chorus includes many catchy, simple, rhythmic moves, so it could be a good idea to dance the chorus and post it on TikTok.
Since there are also applied moves that involve moving your hands while stepping, I think the difficulty level might be just enough to give beginners a slight challenge.
ultra-strongestChou Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
This song by Cho Tokimeki♥Sendenbu has a moderate tempo and an easy-to-get-into groove.
The choreography features many repetitive movements, making it easy to learn.
In addition to the fundamental dance actions of taking down and up rhythms, it includes lots of cute hand and arm movements and motions that match the lyrics, which makes the actions easy to associate and remember.
There are also several moments in the song where you do familiar movements like skipping or striking a pose and then stopping, making the dance very catchy.
In particular, the chorus uses repeated movements, so I think the difficulty isn’t too high and it’s easy to memorize.
Heavy rotationAKB48
When it comes to Heisei-era songs representing Japanese idols, “Heavy Rotation” is the one.
Its choreography relies more on arm movements than full-body motion, so there aren’t many difficult dance techniques—its approachable moves make it easy for anyone to dance.
In particular, the beginning of the chorus consists of a series of poses broken into several counts, so beginners can definitely memorize it easily.
For example, on the lyric “boku wa” (“I”), you point to yourself with your thumb; there are many moves that clearly reflect the lyrics, making it fun for beginners to dance, easy to learn, and low in difficulty—a song where you can enjoy dancing to the beat!
