Kids Will Get Excited! A Collection of Dance Song Ideas with Easy-to-Follow Rhythms (71–80)
Samurai Kids!
“Samurai Kids!” is a dance song for children with lyrics by Kōryō Hira and music by Masaaki Dōnoo.
Many boys may have danced to it at kindergarten or nursery school recitals and sports days.
The choreography is centered around using a sword, so it’s a song that boys who love tokusatsu hero shows and play-fighting will enjoy.
Become a samurai and dance energetically and crisply!
Beat it, beat it, GENKI Taiko!
Ute Ute GENKI Taiko! lets you enjoy a dance that feels like powerfully beating a drum.
It can be hard to play a real taiko depending on your environment, but with this track you can have a fun air‑taiko experience! Dance videos posted on video sites include lots of drumming motions, so you can enjoy it as if a real drum were right in front of you.
We recommend dancing with sticks in your hands like taiko drumsticks! Adding small pom‑poms to the ends will make your movements look flashier and double the fun.
Full throttle, full power! Zenkaiger (Zenkaidance)tsuruno takeshi
It might be a dance number that especially appeals to boys.
It’s the opening theme of the hero squad show Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, sung by the entertainer Takeshi Tsuruno.
It’s got that quintessential hot-blooded hero vibe that fires you up with motivation and courage! The bright, uplifting feel of the chorus in particular is so refreshing to listen to.
I did say it’s popular with boys at the start, but of course it’s recommended for girls too.
A song that’s fun to dance to has nothing to do with gender or age!

Baby Shark
Released in 2020 as the debut single of Risa Uehara, who played the “Panto!” big sister on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
This is a dance song recommended for toddlers who love pretending to be animals and creatures! From the baby shark in the title to dad, mom, grandpa, and grandma, all kinds of sharks make an appearance.
You can become different sharks, run away when you’re chased, and the choreography is simple and unique.
It’s a super fun track!
Mickey Mouse March
One essential song for kids’ dance routines is the Mickey Mouse March.
Since it’s a march, the rhythm is easy for children to get into.
While it’s often used for marching, it’s also great as a dance song with simple choreography.
Many kids love Disney, so it’s a tune both dancers and audience can enjoy.
Perfect for nursery and kindergarten recitals!
Where are the mushrooms from? They’re from the mountain.
This is the song of the delightful mountain idol mushroom, “Kinoko Dokonoko Oyama no Ko.” The dance is easy enough for younger and middle kindergarteners to perform without any problems.
It’s actually a dance number often used in kindergarten and nursery school recitals.
Let’s all put on mushroom hats and dance with energy! It’s gender-neutral, so both boys and girls can enjoy dancing.
For kids whose dream is to become an idol in the future, this is a great place to start!
