Tangled – Cast – I’ve Got a Dream (From “Tangled”/Sing-Along)

It’s the song where Rapunzel ventures into the outside world and befriends ruffians at a tavern.

The lyrics are upbeat, saying that no matter how you look, everyone has a dream they can’t give up.

Even someone with a scary appearance might love collecting trinkets, and even a villain might dream of becoming a pianist.

It’s a unique yet fun song.

[Christmas ★ Easy Choreography] All I Want For Christmas Is You / Mariah Carey [Christmas party, kindergarten, nursery school, elementary school, junior high school, easy dance]

A Christmas song that both adults and children know and that I’d like to introduce is “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” It’s one of Mariah Carey’s signature songs, and in Japan it’s also widely known by its Japanese title, “Koibitotachi no Christmas” (Lovers’ Christmas).

Since it has an up-tempo rhythm, I think keeping the choreography as simple as possible will make it easier to remember.

By the way, this song has also been covered by artists like Kōmi Hirose and Justin Bieber.

Be sure to look for your favorite version.

Taylor Swift – august (Official Lyric Video)

Characterized by lyrics that capture the bittersweetness of summer love and a dreamy melody.

It’s included on the album “folklore,” released in July 2020.

As one of Taylor Swift’s three-song suite depicting an imagined love triangle, it was praised as a breakthrough in her songwriting.

The song’s tone, which evokes the pain of heartbreak and the fleeting nature of youth, has inspired a TikTok trend where mothers film videos from their perspective while twirling with a baby in their arms.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone who wants to preserve precious memories.

Give it a try on TikTok!

The perfect song for cooling down after a sports day, where the entire student body comes together and gives their all, is “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.” Created for the film Cinderella, which was based on Charles Perrault’s fairy tale, it was performed by Verna Felton, who voiced the Fairy Godmother.

With its magical theme, the song unfolds with unique lyrics and a classical melodic line.

It’s also a great idea to split the crowd into singing and dancing parts to liven up the venue.

Soothe everyone’s post-sports-day fatigue with a Disney song that’s sure to put a smile on every face.
