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.
