DANCING QUEEN (ABBA)

It’s one of ABBA’s signature songs, released in 1976, and they’re known for many upbeat dance tunes.

It’s been played in various places—especially in the media—right up to the present day, so many young people have probably heard it.

In the music video, the members themselves are dancing, but there isn’t any set choreography; it’s more of a freestyle, disco-like approach where you move your body freely, so the choreography becomes important.

Since it has a disco feel, it’s a song that even children can dance to easily by keeping the tempo.

Problem Dance

With her cute looks, Ariana Grande is hugely popular among children as well.

Ariana often sings soul- and R&B-centered songs with a deep, soaring voice that you wouldn’t expect from her petite frame, but her dance-style tracks are also popular.

Since her choreography isn’t sharply intense, it’s perfect for kids’ dance recitals.

As for the song “Problem,” judging by the music video, there aren’t many dance segments, so it should be easy to adapt the choreography for children.
