K-pop You’ll Want to Dance at the School Festival! Easy, Crowd-Pleasing Dance Numbers [2026]

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.
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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

HIPMAMAMOO

[Special] ‘HIP’ 사복 안무 영상 떼창 ver.

HIPMAMAMOO

The work that sparked MAMAMOO’s rise in popularity is “HIP.” It’s a hip-hop song that portrays a strong image of women, featuring powerful rapping over an intense beat.

The biggest highlight of this track is its catchy choreography.

There’s a section in the lyrics where different body parts are listed in order, and the dance has you touch each corresponding part as it’s mentioned.

It not only looks cool, but it also makes it easier to learn the choreography in sync with the lyrics, which is a nice bonus.

DALLA DALLAITZY

If you’re a girl who wants to nail not just cuteness but a cool vibe too, we recommend ITZY’s “DALLA DALLA”! It’s included on their 2019 mini album “IT’z ICY.” The choreography doesn’t just look cool—it’s thoughtfully designed with formations, so when you hit it cleanly, it makes for an incredibly striking stage.

The bouncy jumps and hand movements are super cute, and within that there are slightly sexy moments and cool parts that can rival the guys, so it entertains viewers with lots of different elements!
