AI – Happiness

Many of you probably know this song since it was used in a commercial.

It has a bright, upbeat melody, and the lyrics are wonderful.

Dancing with a large group creates impact and will definitely liven things up.

You can dance with your own original choreography, or try copying the AI backup dancers’ moves you’ve seen on TV, and that would be great too.

MisterKARA

KARA – Mister M/V

It’s the perfect song for a wedding performance.

This KARA track captures the feelings of a woman who wants to take a step forward from being more than friends but not yet lovers.

The chorus is easy to remember and is sure to get the entire venue excited.

Released in August 2010 as their Japanese debut single, it created a huge buzz.

The distinctive “hip dance” became so popular that many celebrities in Korea imitated it.

If the bride’s friends lead a large-group dance, the whole venue will come together and have fun.

Matching your outfits to KARA’s style will make the performance even more memorable.
