K-pop You’ll Want to Dance to at the School Festival! Easy, Crowd-Pleasing Dance Numbers

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

PARTY ROCKCRAVITY

CRAVITY (크래비티) ‘PARTY ROCK’ Dance Practice (Fix ver.)

PARTY ROCKCRAVITY

How about PARTY ROCK, a song packed with a message to just ride the music and get hyped? It’s a track by the boy group CRAVITY, included on their 2022 album NEW WAVE.

Beyond the message, the sound itself has a disco vibe that’s perfect for getting the energy up.

A key point is that the choreography is relatively relaxed compared to the tempo of the music.

There are also built-in pauses that let you catch your breath between moves, so I think it’s relatively easy to take on.

Mr.ChuA Pink

Apink has captivated many people with their perfectly synchronized dance performances.

Their second Japanese single is “Mr.

Chu.” It’s a love song that repeats onomatopoeic sounds for kissing.

The track is poppy and cute.

The choreography also gives a girly impression, with hip movements and crossing footwork.

However, the tempo itself isn’t fast, so it’s relatively easy to dance to.

The slower pace also makes it easier to add ad-libs.

If you’re looking for a song to dance to that will lift your spirits, I recommend Fast Forward.

Released in 2023 by Somi, who also made a splash as a member of I.O.I, it’s a quintessential dance track.

It weaves in American pop sensibilities in its melody, so it’s especially recommended if you like that kind of sound.

The song shines with Somi’s unique coolness.

While the tempo is fast, it’s popular on TikTok and features a catchy chorus choreography.

It’s guaranteed to be fun whether you go all out or keep it casual.
