Kids Will Get Excited! A Collection of Easy-to-Follow Dance Track Ideas (41–50)
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!
Make you happy
NiziU, the girl group that became a hot topic in 2020.
They also drew attention by performing their pre-debut song “Make you happy” at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
And when you think of “Make you happy,” it’s the “jump-rope dance”—it’s so cute that people of all ages were captivated by it.
And when kids dance it… it’s just adorable! The choreography is a bit tricky, but a jump-rope dance is sure to get the crowd pumped up!
Doraemon
A song by Gen Hoshino that wholeheartedly captures the world of Doraemon, the beloved anime adored by children.
Released in 2018, this track was used as the theme song for the film “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island” and also as the opening for the TV anime series.
Its poppy, comical melody makes you want to start dancing.
Since it’s a familiar tune for kids, they can dance to it with ease and affection! There’s dancing in Gen Hoshino’s music video as well, and many simplified versions have been released—be sure to check them out for reference.
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!
March of the Shiny Bunny
Actress Mana Ashida, who amazed the public with her exceptional talent since her child-actor days, released the song “Pikapika Usagi no March.” It’s included as the B-side on her 2011 single, released when she was seven years old, “Suteki na Nichiyoubi ~Gyu Gyu Good Day!~.” The cute choreography that matches the pop tune is also a big draw, and many kindergartens and nursery schools used it as a dance number or in scenes for their pageants.
Since it’s the dance that seven-year-old Mana performed, the choreography unfolds in a way that even small children can easily follow, in line with the lyrics.
Do your best to dance it so you won’t lose to little Mana back then!
Fruit Carnival ~ Dance Mix
A greengrocer lined with lots of colorful fruits just fills you with excitement just by looking at it, doesn’t it? That sense of excitement for fruit is captured in “Fruit Carnival ~ Dance Mix.” This track has been arranged as dance music so kids can enjoy dancing to it—so let’s get moving and have some fun! There’s also a video with simple choreography you can follow, so be sure to check it out.
When you dance to this song, pom-poms are recommended! You can match colors with everyone, or go with a mix of colors like the fruits lined up at the greengrocer.
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!
