Kids Will Get Excited! A Collection of Dance Song Ideas With Easy-to-Follow Rhythms (61–70)
HEROmomokurochan Z
The theme song “HERO” from the movie Shimajiro and Ururu’s Hero Land is performed by Momoclo-chan Z—the name used by Momoiro Clover Z when they appear on preschool programs—showcasing both singing and dancing.
The song and choreography are simple, so even young children should be able to imitate them.
Since the moves use the whole body, it’s perfect for warm-ups or morning activities at daycare.
Of course, it’s also great for a recital if you want to put effort into the costumes! How about dancing in colorful outfits?
PopopopoposeGReeeeN
A song by GReeeeN, the four-man vocal group that evolved into artists everyone recognizes despite keeping their appearance private, known for instantly recognizable choral work and catchy tunes.
Originally provided as the theme song for NHK Educational’s “Inai Inai Baa!”, it drew attention again when they self-covered it on their ninth album, “Dai-Ku.” By arranging it with simple choreography that matches the lyrics, it becomes easy for younger children, such as those in kindergarten or nursery school, to dance along.
With GReeeeN’s signature refreshing melody, it’s a number that lifts the spirits of both kids and adults.
Into the Unknown ~ As My Heart Leads
Into the Unknown, the song featured in the sequel to Disney’s worldwide hit Frozen, was performed in the Japanese-dubbed version by Takako Matsu as Elsa during the film, with the end-credit version sung by Mizuki Nakamaru.
Like the songs from the first film, it became very popular, so it’s likely to boost kids’ motivation to dance.
Since it has a musical-theater style, try becoming Elsa and dancing while feeling the song’s story and emotions!
Planet Loop
Nayutan Seijin’s Vocaloid track “Planet Loop” has a bright, cute feel and is a popular dance song among kids.
There are many “tried dancing” videos posted, and you often see children dancing to it.
Lower-elementary school kids can master it without any trouble.
Some of the choreography is a bit tricky for preschoolers, but I still really want them to try dancing to it.
That’s because this song looks adorable even when little kids just dance along casually! The choreography is lovely, so be sure to enjoy it together with everyone.
Shiri-shiri dance
“Shiri Shiri Dance – Panama -” by Romanian reggae artist Matteo, who gained popularity on TikTok.
It became a hot topic in Thailand, and the boom then spread to Korea and Japan.
In Japan, a kids’ version was produced so children can easily enjoy the cool TikTok dance.
While the lyrics have been changed to cute, comical content for kids, the choreography is arranged to resemble the one danced on TikTok.
If your child wants to try a cool dance, this song is a great place to start!
Mīchatta Dance
Let me introduce the “Mii-chatta Dance,” a routine that heightens children’s excitement and lets them feel the joy of moving their bodies.
In everyday moments, someone might casually ask, “What are you looking at?” As you repeat “Mii-chatta, mii-chatta,” move along to the lively rhythm.
The moves are cute, simple, and easy to remember, so even very young children can enjoy them.
At the end, there’s a greeting scene where you say, “Kekkō na otemae deshita” and bow—an adorable moment that might make you smile without even realizing it.
To the Sun in the Palm of Your Hand
This song, “Te no Hira o Taiyō ni” (Palms to the Sun), is perfect for expressing children’s energy to the fullest.
The lyrics were written by Takashi Yanase, the creator of Anpanman, and the music was composed by Taku Izumi, who produced many famous songs.
It’s a well-known children’s song, so many kids have probably sung it in kindergarten or nursery school.
The lyrics include parts that describe hand movements, so let’s create lively choreography to match those sections.
It would be great if the children can not only dance but also sing along!
