dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Dance Hall” is a lively, energetic song that kids can enjoy together.
With its bright rhythm and positive lyrics, it’s perfect for morning exercises or a school sports day entrance theme.
It would be fun for everyone to dance along to the phrase “This world is a dance hall.” As a popular track chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s morning information program “Mezamashi 8,” it’s sure to feel familiar to children.
The song also carries a wonderful message about finding the courage to overcome difficulties and the importance of having fun.
Sing and dance with the kids, and start each day with a smile.
Anpanman Taiso (Anpanman Gymnastics)
The anime “Go! Anpanman,” featuring Anpanman, the hero of all children.
Its ending theme, “Anpanman Taiso,” is a dance routine that many kids have danced along to with Anpanman and his friends.
The choreography is simple so that even very young children can imitate the moves in front of the TV and get their bodies moving.
Since it’s a path many children go through, you might be able to dance it even without practice! Move your body and have fun dancing so you can become as strong as Anpanman.
Kera Kera Rock-Paper-Scissors
Kerakera Janken is a song that lets you enjoy dancing while playing rock-paper-scissors.
The three-member music unit Kerakera released it in 2014 as a double A-side single together with STATION.
True to the group’s name—Kerakera, inspired by vocalist MEME’s bright smile—it’s a cheerful, energetic number that’s also popular with kids.
Even children who feel they’re not good at dancing will likely join in with a smile, since the song builds on the familiar game of rock-paper-scissors.
It’s an easy, fun, high-energy track that everyone can enjoy.
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.

Chagpon DanceSakushi Sakkyoku: Tada Joji
This song, inspired by Iwate’s traditional event Chagu Chagu Umakko, is a local dance tune that parents and children can enjoy together along with Takizawa City’s official character.
Written and composed by Joji Tada, with choreography by the Iwate Prefectural University dance club, it was first performed on stage at the university festival “Jipusai” in October 2022.
The dance features cute, horse-riding-like movements and simple steps that even young children can easily imitate.
Set to a Vocaloid singing voice, it’s fun to move your body along, and the whole family can dance together while watching the video on the city’s official YouTube channel.
It’s used at local festivals and health-promotion events and is cherished as a song that fosters affection for the hometown.
Disney exercises
This is “Disney Exercise,” irresistible for Disney fans! Its unique melody and lyrics are fun to listen to and make you feel like you’ve become various Disney characters.
If you dance properly, it loosens up your whole body, and even little kids who find it hard to remember the choreography can enjoy it as a fun exercise song.
How about using it for morning exercises at home or in childcare settings? Of course, it’s perfect for preschool recitals, too! It would be great to dance in cute Disney character costumes.
Banana-kun Exercise
This is a gymnastics song themed around bananas, which kids love.
It’s included in the 2013 release “Toshihiko Shinzawa × Kumahachi Morino: We Love Food! Hungry Tummy Songbook.” The lyrics about a banana going on a journey are adorable, and the choreography—moving both feet to the rhythm and swaying your body with hands raised in a “banzai” pose—features big, easy-to-understand movements, making it easy for little children to dance along.
I think it’s a routine that even younger preschoolers could master!
