Dance Songs for Kids

Get Yo Body Movin’

Get everyone up and grooving with this irresistible action and dance song! Most kids will already be familiar with the guys of Koo Koo Kanga Roo, so they’ll be much quicker to engage and participate. See it here on Amazon.

Freeze Dance

These next two songs are both variations on a freeze dance for kids. Try them both and see which resonates better with your children – or they might love both! The first one has fun animations, but some kids might be more drawn to dance along with the real people of the second song. You may want to preview the videos and set some expectations before trying so that things like skipping don’t get too wild.
This first version is by the Kiboomers, and you can see all of their Freeze Dance songs on Amazon.

Move and Freeze

Our friends at the Learning Station have so many awesome brain break songs and even an entire Brain Breaks Action CD.

Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes

If you’re looking for the classic action song, look no further! This version is extra fun because it speeds up as the song goes on. Varying tempos in a song is a great way to keep the listener’s attention! The animations are super cute, too. See it on Amazon.

Hokey Pokey

Another timeless dance song for kids! Can’t go wrong with this one. I particularly like how they include a harmony line along with the familiar melody – being able to pick out or copy a harmony line is a great early musical skill! This song also speeds up as it goes along, which adds a lively twist and helps keep the kids engaged. This song can also be found on the All-Time Children’s Favorites album by The Learning Station.

Jump!

Patty Shukla calls this song “Musical PE,” and it’s a perfect description! Your kids will have a blast following the directions and moving along with her. It also includes a ton of musical goodness like key changes, varying tempos, and simple harmonies. Even though your kids may not recognize these things, they help keep the song fresh and entertaining. See it on Amazon.

 Driving in My Car

My kids weren’t with me when I first saw this song, and I bookmarked it immediately because I couldn’t WAIT to show it to them!! I knew they’d love the dramatic play of being a movie star, the fun actions, and the different speeds of the song. I promise your kids will be captivated the whole way through!

Shake Your Sillies Out

What a fun little song! There’s more than one song from The Learning Station on here, and it’s no coincidence – they are great at brain breaks and movement, action, and dance songs for kids! See our post of The Best Movement and Action Songs for Children to find their classic Tony Chestnut or see their entire Brain Breaks Action CD.

I am a Robot

A fun dance song for kids where they get to pretend to be robots. This one is great for following directions and for critical thinking while dancing – the directions repeat and add on top of each other, so the kids will have to pay close attention! The ending is also very clever. See it on Amazon.
