Dance Songs for Kids: Stomp, Wiggle, Freeze and Roar

Sometimes everyone has a little too much energy for sitting still. Dance songs can give that energy somewhere cheerful to go. Tiny Kaiju likes big stomps and triumphant roars; Dopey Dragon brings wobbles, flaps and moves that don't quite go to plan. Their music makes a natural backdrop for a short family dance break.

Tiny Kaiju and Dopey Dragon music and adventures

Finding your monster-music moment

Clear a small area before you begin and choose movements that suit the space. You don't need choreography or a big living room. A stomp can be a tap, a jump can be a heel lift, and a dragon flap can be performed while seated. Keep the game playful rather than competitive.

Try these ideas together

  1. 1

    Make a four-move dance

    Pick stomp, clap, wiggle and roar. Perform one movement each time you hear the matching musical phrase.

  2. 2

    Play freeze dragon

    Pause Dopey Dragon Dance unexpectedly. Everyone freezes as a statue until the music returns.

  3. 3

    Trade your signature move

    Give each family member eight counts to invent a funny move. Everyone else copies it once.

Questions families ask

Do I need dance experience?

Not at all. The songs are built around easy-to-copy, playful movement.

Can we dance in a small space?

Yes. Use claps, arm movements and gentle steps rather than big jumps.
