Recommended dance music for children. Kid-friendly dance tracks that make you want to move (21–30)
MomotaroSuiyōbi no Campanella
A track by the musical unit Wednesday Campanella, fronted by KOM_I, who sings and goes wild onstage.
The theme of the song is the well-known folktale Momotaro.
However, the Momotaro who appears in this song seems quite different from the one in the folktale—he’s pretty lazy.
He doesn’t go demon-slaying and just lounges around playing games every day.
That’s what the dance expresses.
No matter if someone throws millet dumplings at him or tells him off, he absolutely refuses to go fight demons.
Please express through dance this stubborn, folktale-defying Momotaro who wants nothing to do with demon-slaying.
LokiMikito P
It’s a duet song by Kagamine Rin and the track’s creator, Mikito-P.
This original Vocaloid song reached a million views.
Since it’s a duet, it’s recommended to dance with a friend—two or more people rather than solo.
Although it looks difficult, the choreography is surprisingly easy, and there’s even a part where you take a selfie, making it a track you can enjoy in various ways!

Crazy F-R-E-S-H BeatSnow Man
If you’re looking for a sharp, cool dance track, this is the one.
It’s a song by Snow Man, a popular idol group from Johnny & Associates, included on their double A-side single with SixTONES, “D.D.
/ Imitation Rain,” released in 2020.
It’s an energetic electronic tune where the rhythmic sound and snappy melody line fit perfectly and really get you moving.
When choosing a song for kids to dance to, we tend to pick something cute, but I think a cool track like this is great as well.
ReiwaGōruden Bonbā
The song Reiwa by Golden Bomber became a hot topic as the new era name song.
Speaking of Golden Bomber, they’re known for their hit song Memeshikute, which they performed several times on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Their catchy melody and dance performance that makes you want to get up and dance as soon as you see it are outstanding.
The choreography is simple enough that even children can learn it after watching a few times, so be sure to try dancing to it at karaoke.
paprikaFoorin
A song written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu as a cheer anthem for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It’s performed by Foorin, an elementary school group formed through NHK’s “2020 Support Song Project” auditions.
Since it’s danced by an elementary school group, the choreography consists of easy-to-copy moves.
The chorus features an impressive gesture that looks like paprika flowers blooming.
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
Let’s dance to a song by the three-piece girls’ band SHISHAMO! The moves follow the lyrics of “Kimi to Natsu Fes,” so it’s okay if you don’t do exactly the same choreography as the dances posted on various sites—you can make your own original choreography! Since the song’s theme is the fun event of a summer festival, dancing with two or three people instead of solo will make it even more exciting!
Tattayuzu
This is Yuzu’s dance number “Tatta.” It was chosen as the 2017 theme song for “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!” and became popular for the “Tatta Dance” choreographed by world-renowned dancer Kent Mori.
In the official music video, elementary school students also perform the Tatta Dance.
There are various choreography videos available, so if you’re not confident in dancing, start by practicing a simple routine.
Just learning the rhythm and song structure will make it easier to master the Tatta Dance.
