Lil Nas X’s country hit “Old Town Road.” This track blew up on TikTok, so if you’re a TikToker who’s into Western music, it might already sound familiar.

The dark melody and the track packed with country instruments are insanely cool! Since it’s a country song, it could be fun to put extra thought into your outfit.

We also recommend dancing with dimmed lighting and using props.

“Dingga” by the Korean girl group MAMAMOO, included on their 2020 album TRAVEL.

K-pop dances often look cool but can feel intimidating to try, yet this track is both stylish and beginner-friendly.

The tempo isn’t too fast and the choreography isn’t difficult, so you’ll be fine as long as you practice carefully while watching the music video and other clips.

If you practice in sync with your group members, you can put on a cool K-pop dance performance with just this song!

HIPMAMAMOO

It’s ‘HIP’ by the Korean girl group MAMAMOO.

They’re famous for having a lot of female fans.

It totally gives off that ‘this is real, cool hip-hop!’ vibe, and it looks tough, but why not challenge yourself with this dance and grab everyone’s attention? The choreography will leave you breathless, but you’ll definitely feel a sense of accomplishment if you nail it.

It could be great to go all out with this song at a school or cultural festival to make unforgettable memories with your friends! Coming up with outfits to match the song sounds fun, too.

MOMOLAND(모모랜드) – “뿜뿜(BBoom BBoom)” Dance Practice

How about performing MOMOLAND’s smash hit “뿜뿜 (BBoom BBoom)” in a cool way? You can also take inspiration from its colorful music video.

One of the song’s features is that many of the dance parts are easy enough to do even if you’re not a pro.

It’s hard to explain to people who don’t know the song, but sections like the “cut, cut, ha!!” part really make for great highlights.

Of course, the choreography in the chorus is super cool too! MOMOLAND also has a cute-style song released only in Japan, “Pinky Love,” which is highly recommended as well!

This song was only performed a few times on the comedy duo BAKUSHŌ MONDAI’s show and on the sketch show ENGEI Grand Slam.

From just those few appearances, the CD flew off the shelves, the play count on video sites went through the roof, and it even landed a spot on the year-end Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Why not have everyone perform this guaranteed crowd-pleasing party track? The rap parts are super cool, the chorus is easy to dance to, and best of all, it seems to require less practice time than other dance songs.

If you don’t have much time to rehearse, this is the one I recommend.

Just make sure to really drill the signature “Na-Ka-Ta Dance”!

ice creamRude-α

With such a cute title, you can’t help but get excited wondering what kind of song it is—this one’s a track by the rapper Rude-α.

There’s no set choreography, so feel free to dance however you like based on the pop vibe of the title and melody.

Since you can create the moves freely, you could also put together simpler choreography to suit people who aren’t confident dancers.

For costumes, we recommend taking inspiration from Rude-α’s music video and having everyone wear different colorful outfits!

Here’s the song “Look At Her Now,” where you can see Selena Gomez’s stunning performance.

She’s truly a world-leading artist, and the song, the dance, and her look are all top-tier in quality.

The music video highlights the choreography, so fully recreating it is an option.

Even at a school festival, a show is still a show—why not take on some serious, so-called ‘hardcore’ dance with this track? It’s a cutting-edge, trendsetting song that’s also highly recommended for dance club members.
