Recommended dance music for children. Kid-friendly dance tracks that make you want to move (111–120)
OtonokeCreepy Nuts
This song captivates with a rhythm that makes you want to dance and a mysterious worldview.
Produced by Creepy Nuts, it serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Dandadan and was released digitally in October 2024.
Its distinctive lyrics cleverly connect how music seeps into people’s hearts with occult elements.
With a driving beat and catchy phrases, it’s a track that makes kids want to move their bodies.
Seamlessly fused with the anime’s world, the song has earned high praise, including reaching No.
1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
It’s perfect for parents who want to enjoy the anime together with children who love to dance.
You can start with simple choreography and gradually try more challenging moves for extra fun.
APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
Inspired by the Korean drinking game “Apartment Game,” this song captivates children with its catchy rhythm and dance-inducing melody.
Blending pop punk and pop rock, its energetic sound features a pleasant harmony between Rosé and Bruno Mars, and the playful call-and-response makes you want to move naturally.
Released in October 2024, the track rapidly gained views on YouTube and achieved the milestone of 1 billion plays.
Its bright, fun vibe and easy-to-copy rhythmic chants make it perfect for kids’ dance time.
It’s ideal for sports day practice or family dance sessions, and is also recommended as a song kids can enjoy together with friends.
Ninja Hattari-kun
@barbamaha Ninja Hattari-kun#tempalay#armscontrol#handsperformance#vogue#choreography#dance
♬ Ninja Hattari – Tempalay
Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.
Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.
When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.
The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.
Karada Dandan
A popular song that’s also danced to on NHK’s children’s program “Okaasan to Issho.” Because it’s up-tempo, it’s recommended if you want to boost the energy at a sports day.
The lyrics are packed with a gesture-game vibe where kids act like the creatures that appear, so even younger children might perform it with enthusiasm.
Under the sea you become crabs and shrimp; on land you switch to dinosaurs and monkeys.
Each animal has distinctive traits, so the dance moves should be easy to grasp.
The lively chorus is lots of fun, too!
S-s-stealthy footsteps
Let’s showcase the children at their best! Presenting “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi.” When you think of ninjas, you imagine various techniques for battling enemies, like shuriken throwing and concealment, right? This time, let’s try “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi,” which focuses on stealthy footsteps.
From the very beginning of the song, it’s sure to capture the children’s interest! By having them perform each movement slowly and quietly, you can highlight a charming contrast with their usual energetic selves—highly recommended!
Ninnin Nintama Ondo
Set in the Sengoku period, the story of Ninjutsu Academy—centered on the trio of Rantarō, Kirimaru, and Shinbei—is hugely popular! From the long-beloved TV anime “Nintama Rantarō,” we present “Nin-nin Nintama Ondo.” Many teachers and parents likely watched “Nintama Rantarō” when they were young.
In recent years, it has gained popularity not only among children but also among adults.
The choreography for “Nin-nin Nintama Ondo” can be adapted to suit children.
Try dancing while getting into character!
Mischief Ninja Arts Manual
The key is its exciting, upbeat feel! Let me introduce “Itazura Ninpōchō.” Some children just love playing pranks, don’t they? This time, let’s do a cute dance to “Itazura Ninpōchō,” which has mischief as its theme! It’s a good idea to adapt the choreography to the children’s ages and interests.
Since it’s up-tempo with a unique sound, a comical choreography will fit well.
Dive in with a sense of excitement and have fun!
