Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Dance Hall” Official Music Video

GREEN APPLE’s “Dance Hall,” just as the title suggests, is a rhythmic track that’s perfect for dancing.

The existing choreography is easy to imitate and uses fundamental steps, making it an ideal choice for middle school dance classes that aim to build a sense of rhythm and physical expression.

The lyrics also touch on struggles that everyone faces, which helps spark imagination for creative work.

I think it’s a perfect song for strengthening the three essentials in dance classes: expression, creativity, and rhythm.

Gen Hoshino – Koi (Official Video)

Singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, who has earned popularity for his bottomless pop sensibilities, released a 9th single that was used as the theme song for a TV drama he himself appeared in—its dance became a social phenomenon.

Since its release in October 2016, it has enjoyed a long run of hits.

Because it’s known across generations, it’s easy to sing at karaoke and perfect for getting everyone hyped.

While the tempo is fast and the melody features many leaps, making it a challenging song, it’s a lot of fun once you can sing it—so give it a try and practice!

Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

Perfect for the season that makes you want to start dancing under the spell of spring sunshine, this track by Creepy Nuts—leaders of the scene with their exceptional skills—fits the bill.

Released in January 2024 as the opening theme for season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” the “Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc,” it sparked a social phenomenon, topping Billboard JAPAN’s year-end Japan Hot 100 that same year.

The lyrics—where the pride of a protagonist who fights in a magical world using nothing but his own body overlaps with that of artists who rose to the top through rap alone—are nothing short of exhilarating.

The chant-like hook and fast-paced Jersey club beat are highly addictive, making your body fall into the groove before you know it.

As March ushers in a new chapter, this is the perfect track to fire yourself up or to get hyped with friends doing the BBBB dance—guaranteed to make you want to move.

Da-iCE /「I wonder」Performance Video

I think Da-iCE’s “I wonder” is a perfect song for dance classes because the choreography at the beginning is easy to imitate.

While it’s a very danceable track, it also carries a refreshing feel and a touch of poignancy, allowing for a wide range of expression.

That means there’s a lot students can develop through it in a dance class.

For creative work, you can use movements inspired by the lyrics, and steps that match the rhythm also fit well.

I believe this song offers many opportunities to learn through dance—such as expressing individual character and building group cooperation.

Please consider using it!
