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.

With dance now a required part of middle school PE, do you ever find yourself struggling to pick the right songs when it’s time to actually dance? If the track is easy to groove to and everyone in class knows it, your body moves naturally and the whole group gets energized! In this article, we’ll introduce recommended songs for middle school dance classes, picked from a wide range of genres including Japanese music, Western music, and K-pop.

We’ve gathered everything from cool, up-tempo tracks to pop songs that will make you smile.

Kenshi Yonezu’s “KICK BACK” is a bit on the fast side tempo-wise, but I think it’s perfect for dance lessons in middle school.

There isn’t any set choreography, but there are some simple routines uploaded on YouTube, so I recommend trying to copy those.

The song has an intense feel, but its danceable rhythm and beat are definite highlights.

Since it’s also the opening theme for the anime Chainsaw Man, it’s popular among middle schoolers and should be easy to work with.

Creating your own choreography that incorporates movements learned in class will surely make for a fun dance experience!

Depending on the age of the dancers, this is the kind of dance track that will have people saying, “So nostalgic!” It’s a song by Snow Man and their first digital single, released in August 2025.

It’s also included on the album Onko Chishin, released in November of the same year.

Based on the once-trendy para para style and infused with contemporary rap and beat processing, the track has been touted on social media for its addictive quality, making it a great pick if you want something that really hypes up a crowd.

The choreography uses the whole body with dynamic movements, and it even mixes in elements of robot dance.
