Kep1er’s big hit that represented the first half of 2022, “WA DA DA.” Many people probably watched the music video and thought, “So cool!” and “Looks so fun!” The dance cover trend is going strong on TikTok too! The choreo features well-crafted formations and has that authentic, modern K-pop feel.

The tempo is on the faster side, but the moves themselves are simple.

Even if you can’t dance the whole thing, it’s fun to focus on the unique hand movements in the chorus.

There are easy arrangement versions and detailed breakdowns on YouTube, so if a full-on copy is tough, check those out and give it a try!

Many of TWICE’s songs are ones that make you want to try dancing at least once, aren’t they? That said, quite a few are pretty challenging.

This song, which incorporates the crying emoji—“TT”—into its choreography, is relatively easy to dance among them.

Let’s start by practicing just the chorus.

When Japanese people dance, movements often become too linear, so it might help to focus on the transitions between poses and connect them smoothly.

Permission to DanceBTS

I also recommend the special “Permission to Dance,” written by Ed Sheeran and performed by BTS, as an easy, feel-good song to dance to! It quickly spread and became a beloved dance track around the world in 2021.

The dynamic shifts are incredibly cool, overflowing with BTS’s star power and sleek charm, but what’s even better is how approachable it is.

The sign-language part of the choreography is designed to be friendly even for beginners.

There are many beginner-focused videos available, so check those out and give it a try.

I think one of the song’s biggest appeals is that you can enjoy it with a free spirit, without being constrained by form!

Centered on the theme of a crush, it portrays expressing one’s feelings through music.

It became a big hit on TikTok, with fan-made arrangement versions drawing attention.

NewJeans’ “Ditto” is one of their signature songs, released digitally in December 2022.

The choreography incorporates hip-hop elements and focuses on counts rather than lyrics, so maintaining rhythm that matches the song’s fast counts is crucial.

Every 1×8, movements using downs and isolations to keep the rhythm are repeated, making the choreography easy to memorize.

It’s a recommended track even for beginners, as you can work on it while learning the fundamentals!

BLACKPINK’s DDU-DU DDU-DU, known for its powerful performance and strong vocals, became a global hit.

You’ve likely seen or heard its chorus and the gun-shooting-like choreography at least once.

Its poppy, catchy vibe makes you want to dance along, combining coolness with cute moves.

The video has racked up a huge number of views and is popular across social media and the web.

KNOCK KNOCK is a dance tune that captures the flutter of romance.

Released by TWICE in 2017, its choreography is packed with a friendly, charming appeal.

The footwork stepping is particularly striking.

While TWICE’s dance tracks can seem difficult, songs from this period seem to prioritize being enjoyable for everyone, so you’ll likely find them easier to dance to.

The key knock gestures and the tight, rhythm-driven movements enhance the synergy between the song and the dance, lifting your spirits! There are many videos on YouTube featuring different group sizes and patterns, so start with whatever you can and have fun!
