It’s a sweets-ful time!Tokyo Dizunīrando

This is a lively dance track starring Vanellope, a character from the movie Wreck-It Ralph.
As a song themed around a world of sweets, both the music and costumes are colorful and cute.
The dancers are dressed in candy- and cake-inspired outfits, creating a fun atmosphere just by looking.
If you include it in recreational activities or a school sports day program, it’s sure to send kids’ excitement soaring.
Many of the choreographed moves are light and in sync with the rhythm, making them easy to learn.
Since there’s also a narrative element in the background, adding creative touches to the costumes and staging will produce a cohesive, unified performance.
Racing into the NightYOASOBI


YOASOBI’s smash-hit song “Yoru ni Kakeru.” If you’re an elementary school student, you’ve definitely heard this one! It’s not originally a dance track, so there’s no official choreography, but there are plenty of “I tried dancing” videos, including ones that introduce easy moves for kids.
If you’re looking for a catchy, uptempo song, why not try dancing to “Yoru ni Kakeru”? It’s widely known from lower to upper grades, so it’s highly recommended.
The song is striking right from the intro, so it’s sure to get both the dancers and the audience excited!

Just like during the event, pairing it with sparkly costumes and colorful lights enhances the fun of the dance even more.
It’s an energetic song that lets you get fired up together with your friends.

BE:FIRST is a seven-member boy group born from THE FIRST, an audition hosted by rapper and music producer SKY-HI.
How about dancing to their second single, “Bye-Good-Bye,” at your school sports day? It’s a pop dance number, so I think it’s perfect for elementary school students.
The choreography from the music video might be difficult, so try arranging it to make it easier for kids to dance.
Adding simple, big moves will make it look great and help them dance coolly.

“Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island” features a song that was used as the opening theme for the Doraemon TV anime.

The tempo is relaxed, and many simplified choreography videos tailored for children are available online.
If it’s a familiar song with easy moves, even kids who aren’t confident in dancing might think, “I’ll give it a try!” Be sure to challenge yourself at least once!
