Children’s dance songs from Western music. Kids’ dance routines perfect for school plays and recitals.

This time, I’ll be introducing Western dance music that’s perfect for kids!

While it’s common to dance to popular Japanese songs, there are lots of bright, pop tracks in Western music that suit children really well.

These days, dance isn’t just for after-school lessons—it’s also included in school events and PE classes.

So, teachers who are struggling to choose a song, this is a must-see.

I’m sure you’ll find tracks that match the kids’ energetic vibe, so read to the end and pick the perfect songs for your students!

Make great memories with high-energy tunes!
