Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Mela [Original Choreography] Sports Day Dance and Recital Dance for Nursery Schools and Kindergartens

Here’s a recommended idea for those looking for choreography for preschools and kindergartens.

This approach keeps the choreography simple while making the most of “Mela!”—its powerful tone and exhilarating, fast-paced sound.

For example, use a box step during the A section and side steps during the B section.

You can also match the rhythm by making big arm circles or flipping the backs of your hands front and back.

With this, everyone from small children to adults can get excited using the same choreography!
