Dance Basics Class Week 1🤸 | Basic Dance Steps for Aspiring K-POP Trainees! | ChoCo Entertainment🍫

What you need

Open floor space, comfortable clothes and shoes, notebook and pencil to write counts, a short kid-friendly k-pop song choice, adult supervision required

Step 1

Put on comfortable clothes and shoes so you can move easily.

Step 2

Clear the open floor space by moving toys and furniture away so the area is safe to dance in.

Step 3

Pick a 30 to 60 second kid-friendly section of a K-Pop song to learn and perform.

Step 4

Watch the official choreography or a beginner tutorial for that song section and pick four simple moves to learn.

Step 5

Practice each chosen move slowly while counting out loud to four for each move.

Step 6

Link the moves in the order you like to make a short routine of 8 or 16 counts.

Step 7

Create one simple signature move or ending pose to finish your routine.

Step 8

Practice the whole routine with the music at half speed to get the steps right.

Step 9

Practice the routine again at full speed while adding energy and facial expressions.

Step 10

Ask an adult to help record a short practice clip so you can watch yourself improve.

Step 11

Ask an adult to set up a clear safe background and press record for your final take.

Step 12

Dance your routine with energy and a smile while the camera records.

Step 13

Watch the recording with your adult helper and pick the best take.

Step 14

Share your finished K-Pop dance routine on DIY.org.

Help!?

What can we use if we don't have a camera or a big clear floor space?

Use a smartphone to record and play the beginner tutorial on a tablet or laptop, and if you can't clear a large area use a rug or exercise mat as your designated dance space so the step 'clear the open floor space' is still followed.

What should we do if we keep losing count or can't link the four moves together?

Follow the step to practice each chosen move slowly while counting out loud to four, then combine them and rehearse the whole routine at half speed until the transitions are smooth.

How can we adapt this routine for younger kids or older kids?

For younger children choose a 30-second section, pick gentler, simpler moves and stick to an 8-count routine with an adult nearby, while older kids can use a 60-second section, extend to 16 counts, add arm styling and practice at full speed with facial expressions.

How can we make the final performance more special or polished?

Create one simple signature move or ending pose, ask an adult to set up a clear safe background and record multiple takes, watch the recordings together to pick the best take, and then share the finished routine on DIY.org.

K-POP DANCE BASICS: Body Control & Power (Tutorial)

Facts about K-Pop dance and choreography for kids

🎵 K-pop stands for "Korean pop" and blends singing, fashion, and high-energy dancing.

🕺 Many K-pop idols train for years and rehearse choreography for hours a day to make moves look effortless.

🎬 Dance practice videos on YouTube are a K-pop staple and help fans learn routines step-by-step.

🔢 Most pop dances are taught using 8-counts (1–8) so steps match the beats of the song.

🌍 Top K-pop choreographers come from around the world, so routines mix styles like hip-hop, jazz, and street dance.

How do I teach my child a short K-Pop dance routine step by step?

Start by picking a short, age-appropriate K‑Pop song or part (30–60 seconds). Break the routine into small sections, teach one step at a time, and count beats aloud (1–8). Demonstrate slowly, then practice with music at reduced speed. Encourage your child to copy, add simple arms or gestures, and link sections into a short routine. Rehearse with breaks, record practice takes, and celebrate progress. Keep instructions positive and adjust complexity to your child’s comfort.

What materials do I need to learn and record a K-Pop dance routine at home?

You'll need a clear, safe practice space, comfortable clothes and supportive shoes, and a speaker or phone to play music. A full-length mirror helps with self-checks; a smartphone or camera records videos. Optional: a laptop for slow‑down apps, water bottle, towel, and simple costume pieces or props for performance fun. Ensure batteries/chargers are available and the floor is non‑slippery. For online sharing, have parental control tools and privacy settings ready.

What ages is a K-Pop dance routine suitable for?

This activity suits many ages: preschoolers (3–5) can enjoy basic moves and rhythms with adult guidance; elementary children (6–9) can learn short step sequences and simple choreography; tweens and teens (10+) can handle faster, more complex routines and recording. Always consider attention span, coordination, and physical ability. Supervise younger children, simplify steps for beginners, and let older kids lead creative choices. Adjust practice length and breaks to each child’s stamina.

What safety precautions should I take when my child records and shares a K-Pop dance video?

When recording and sharing, protect privacy and safety: film in a neutral space without visible personal information, use first names or nicknames only, and limit sharing to trusted friends or private groups. Check platform age rules and set strict privacy options. Supervise recording to prevent risky moves; include warm‑ups and avoid acrobatics unless trained. Review videos with your child before posting, obtain consent from caregivers of other children appearing, and turn off location data on
