10 Best Dance Videos for Kids! (Free Online Tutorials)


Here at Move Dance Learn, we create dance videos for kids. We have so many to offer, but thought we would put together a list of our top ten dance tutorials for kids to make them easy for you to find and watch!

But don’t just take our word for it!

Thousands of other kids have watched and viewed the creative dance tutorial videos and so many parents are always writing to us telling us how much they love them and ask when are we making more!

The best thing about our videos is that the music used is kid friendly and sourced from original musicians, we don’t do branded content like frozen or avengers so you don’t have to worry about your kids hitting you up for the latest toys and the content has been created by qualified primary school teacher who also has a diploma in dance!

So let’s get onto the list!


1. DINOSAUR STOMP

Another of our most viewed videos is a creative dance tutorial where your child is guided through a warm up and then into moving their bodies in various ways to mimic the movements of different dinosaurs.

2. SPACE ADVENTURE

Join us as we travel through space past all the planets and then land on the moon for a beyond gravity experience.

This creative movement dance lesson starts off with a warm-up, ends with a cooldown – but in between, we use creative dance and movement to go on an intergalactic adventure even meeting some life forms from another planet.

3. LET’S GO ON SAFARI

In this video, we explore through creative movement, three animals who make their homes in the Savannah of Africa – the Rhinoceros, the Giraffe, and the Gazelle.

On top of being creative, this lesson is a great workout, especially when moving like Gazelles who like to pronk or stott which means they leap into the air off of all four of their legs!

5. VIDEO GAME BALLET CLASS

My kids Love Love Love this video!!!! It took me ages to edit, not only because of all the graphics I needed to correctly time with the movements but also because they kept asking to watch parts of it as I edited it!

My 9-year-old son was upset because he didn’t get to help out in the video and has asked if we can do another video game-style dance lesson – but I think the next one will be either a hip hop or maybe even a tap lesson, we will see!

In this lesson, kids will learn all about plies, sautes, and first position as we do stop-and-go style ballet walks, bend or plie to miss flying birds, and saute or jump over wandering chickens!

Watch as we get high scores and fill the energy bar!

We start with a warm-up, move into three separate movement tutorials, and then play a memory movement game to consolidate learning from the lesson and finish with a cool down!

8. DYNAMICS IN DANCE – SWINGING, SUSPENSION & VIBRATION

This dance lesson was created to help teach the difference between the six dynamics in dance – Swinging, suspension, vibration, percussion, sustaining, and collapsing.

This particular lesson focuses only on swinging, suspended movement, and vibration.

I have another video where we explore the other three dynamics, as well as other videos where I have separated each dynamic so they can be used as a brain break or for individual learning without the warm up, game, and cool down so look out for the dynamics in dance playlist!

Students can choose to either follow the instructor or experiment with their own movement to carefully selected music that complements each dynamic.

For each of our videos, we also try to create resources such as activities and lesson plans for you to use and follow.
