[Let's Dance to Popular Hits!] Recommended Dance Songs for Elementary School Students

NEW LOOKAmuro Namie

NEW LOOK (Mix) / Namie Amuro

Let’s try a cute and cool dance to Namie Amuro’s “NEW LOOK”! Included on the 2008 release “60s 70s 80s,” this song is a remake of “Baby Love” by the American female pop-soul group The Supremes.

The song’s vibe and costumes are inspired by the 1960s, when “Baby Love” was released, so you can enjoy it as if you’ve time-traveled back to that era! When you dance, it’s also recommended to choose outfits that look like they’re from that time.

It’s a track that both girls and boys can enjoy together.

[MV] Warota People / NMB48 [Official]

NMB48’s 17th single, aiming to conquer the world from Osaka.

The center is Mirurun—Miru Shiroma—one of NMB48’s founding members.

The best thing about this track is, above all, how fun it is! It has the power to make even first-time listeners smile.

And the dance is super fun, too.

Every part of it has “comical moves” that make you want to imitate them.

There are hardly any difficult steps, and whether you aim for a perfect copy or not, it’s a song that brightens up the moment!

Of course, I love it.#AiScReamLove Live!Kurosawa Ruby#Ai FurihataAyumu Uehara#Aguri OnishiWakana Shiki#Wakana Okuma

♪ Love♡Scream! – AiScReam

The debut song of AiScReam, a special unit born from the Love Live! series.

The worldview that likens the feeling of being in love to sweet, melty ice cream is super cute, isn’t it? Pure feelings—the wish to be more than just friends—overflow atop a catchy melody.

This track is the title song of the single “Ai♡Scream!” released in January 2025, and it’s also unique in that the unit itself was created from a radio program project.

Paired with the pose that went viral on social media, there’s no doubt everyone will have fun together and deepen their bonds!

It’s a positive cheer song that gives you a push and tells you there’s nothing to fear.

Performed by the dance-vocal group DA PUMP, it’s included on their album “BACK 2 DA UNITY,” released in July 2025.

The track was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Asakusa Last-Boss Grandma.” Produced by m.c.A·T, its sound fuses reggae and Latin influences, and its uplifting lyrics boost your mood.

It’s perfect for those moments when you want to take a new step forward.

Whimsical Romanticikimonogakari

Ikimonogakari “Kimagure Romantic” [“Ikimonogakari no Minasan, Konnitsua!! 2024 ~You! Me! Everyone! Let’s Sing SHOW!!~ Yokohama Nijumaru Performance”]

A happy tune by Ikimono-gakari that sings about the sweet-and-sour feelings of a girl who can’t be honest with the one she likes! Beneath her bold attitude, the protagonist is actually dying to see them, and that feeling comes through on an upbeat, bursting sound.

Released in December 2008, this track was used as the theme song for the drama “Celeb to Binbō Tarō” and is included on the classic album “My song Your song.” The cute choreography seen in the music video became a live-show staple, too! Around 2025, its fun spread to many people through social media.

When everyone copies the dance together, it creates a sense of unity in the venue and the excitement goes through the roof!

Rising SunEXILE

Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Support Song [EXILE / RISING SUN-2020]

Saturday nights at 8 used to have the popular variety show “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru,” and I feel sad that it’s ended.

On that show, there was a segment where Ninety-Nine’s Okamura would challenge himself with skills outside his field, and when he took on EXILE’s dance, it went beyond laughs—I was genuinely moved, thinking, “Challenges really are wonderful.” The song “Rising Sun,” which Okamura danced to then, seems doable for upper-grade elementary schoolers.

If you can handle the chorus steps, the rest feels like you can ride the momentum.

And of course, coming up with an original dance together would surely make for great memories!
