K-pop you’ll want to dance to at the school festival! Easy, crowd-pleasing dance numbers (1–10)
OMGNewJeans
We’ve already featured NewJeans’ song “Ditto,” but “OMG,” which was released at the start of 2023 and sent shockwaves through the music scene, is another track we’d love to see you try dancing to at events like school festivals! Its sound is highly cutting-edge, blending trap with elements of UK dance music like UK garage and 2-step, and its thought-provoking music video sparked a wave of analysis and discussion—making it a breakout hit that spread their name far beyond K-pop fans.
The choreography leans heavily into hip-hop and can be tough for beginners, but there are detailed, part-by-part breakdown videos by professionals on YouTube, so be sure to check them out.
Rather than trying to master everything at once, get your body used to it by practicing in sections—like the chorus or the first verse—bit by bit!
DittoNewJeans
NewJeans has been drawing attention from a wide range of audiences—not only traditional K-POP fans but also core music enthusiasts.
In June 2024, their very first solo concert became the fastest Tokyo Dome show by an overseas artist in history and sold out immediately, and their overwhelming popularity continues to surge.
Many young people surely want to try dancing to their songs.
I’d especially recommend “Ditto,” which sparked explosive buzz in 2023 and led to numerous dance challenges and cover videos.
It’s astonishing that the performance video has surpassed 140 million views as of 2024, and the dance challenge featuring all the members together with BTS’s Jung Kook also drew major attention.
The choreography avoids overly intense moves and intricate techniques that demand high skill, making it relatively approachable even for beginners.
The official dance practice video is available, and it’s a good idea to check out cover videos by professional dance teams as references.
HAPPY HAPPYTwice
TWICE is a girls’ group with a unique pop sound and fans not only across Asia but around the world.
Their 2019 release “HAPPY HAPPY” is recommended for anyone looking for colorful K-pop that’s easy to dance to at school festivals and cultural events.
You’ll swoon over their irresistibly cute vocals as each part unfolds.
The bubbly, rhythmic sound is perfect for a festive atmosphere.

UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers)LE SSERAFIM
Debuting in 2022 and performing at that year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen, then launching a world tour in 2023 and scoring a massive hit with their debut album “UNFORGIVEN,” LE SSERAFIM shines brightly in today’s K-pop scene.
Their cool and dynamic songs are hugely popular as dance challenges, with many musicians and celebrities joining in and generating big buzz.
The featured track “UNFORGIVEN,” which also drew attention for featuring legendary guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers, became a major hit on platforms like TikTok in 2023 as the “Villain Bunny Dance.” While the moves may seem fast and difficult for beginners, try not to be shy—start by exaggerating the dynamic arm movements and practicing them in parts.
Once you can partially replicate them, move on to the full routine step by step to get used to the choreography.
Pretty USEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN, also known by their nickname “Sebuchi,” is a 13-member boy group with a unique structure consisting of three teams—Vocal, Hip-Hop, and Performance.
They are a popular group known for their diverse activities driven by a DIY spirit.
They enjoy tremendous popularity in Japan, so there are surely many people who have danced to their songs at school festivals.
While many of their tracks are challenging for beginners due to the group’s high skill level, the song Pretty U, which served as a catalyst for their major breakthrough, is relatively easy to dance to, thanks in part to its charming and memorable choreography.
Since formations that make use of the large 13-member lineup are key, it would be perfect if you can match the number of performers and even prepare a sofa prop if possible!
