“Goodbye Sengen,” which gained popularity among people of all ages after a finger dance went viral on TikTok.

Since it’s a tune many children are already familiar with, they should get used to the music quickly.

The finger dance performed by many is a bit complex and tricky with its finger movements, but it’s fine to simplify it while using the original choreography as a reference! Be sure to dance coolly through the non-chorus parts as well!
