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.

Apink 에이핑크 ‘Mr.Chu’ 안무 연습 영상 (Choreography Practice Video)

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.

Bad Girl Good GirlMiss A

Highly recommended for those who want to dance a glamorous, powerful, and solid number: “Bad Girl Good Girl.” It’s the debut song of Miss A, the group that included Suzy, known as the “Nation’s First Love.” It’s also fresh in our memory that members who now perform as NiziU on Nizi Project covered this song.

There are hardly any steps and the choreography focuses mainly on the upper body, making it easy to try.

The movements aren’t fast, so you can take your time practicing.

The choreography’s emphasis on “wave-like” motion is striking, so even without intense moves, it’s sure to draw the eye.

Try delivering a boldly cool and confident performance!

Fast ForwardJEON SOMI

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.

STAYC’s “ASAP” is a track known for its cute, catchy choreography.

The pastel-colored outfits and the members’ energetic performance are perfect for a school festival vibe.

In particular, the “ASAP” dance in the chorus features easy-to-learn moves that became hugely popular on social media.

The upbeat melody with 8-bit-style synthesizers pairs perfectly with the dance rhythm! The unique vocals of all the members—starting with Sieun—are another highlight of the song.

With a breezy, summery feel, it’s a tune everyone can have fun dancing to together!

Kep1er is a girl group born from an audition program.

Their first single is “WA DA DA,” which has become a big hit in Japan.

The choreography matches a melody with frequent key changes, alternating between slow and fast movements.

There are also many memorable yet easy-to-copy moves—like the arm motions that match the title phrase—making it great for performing just the highlights.

By the way, “WA DA DA” is an onomatopoeia that represents the sound of running.
