The BTS songs beginner lists agree on first are Dynamite, Butter, Boy With Luv, Permission to Dance and IDOL.
All of them can be learned at home from BTS’s own dance practice videos on the BANGTANTV YouTube channel, without a mirror or a class.
This post orders those songs by difficulty, explains the chorus-first practice method, and lists the BTS songs to leave for later.

kpop dance tutorial for beginners bts: which dance to learn first
Start with Dynamite, and pick Butter as the second song.
Beginner compilations of ‘easiest BTS dances’ consistently put Dynamite at the top: the choreography is repetitive disco-pop broken into clear 8-count blocks, with no fast floor work.
Butter is repeatedly listed right next to it, because the moves are smooth grooves with a repeated hook and almost no jumping.
Both songs spent time at No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020 and 2021, so their choruses are the BTS routines most covered in beginner tutorials.
That exposure matters for a learner: the more covers exist, the more step-by-step breakdowns you can compare when a move does not make sense.
If you want the very first session to feel easy, learn only the chorus of Dynamite before touching anything else.
If you want variety from day one, alternate Dynamite and Butter chorus blocks in the same session.
| Dynamite | First tier – repetitive disco-pop choreography, clear 8-count blocks, no floor work |
|---|---|
| Butter | First tier – smooth grooves and repeated hook moves, minimal jumping |
| Boy With Luv | Early pick – chorus is bouncy, symmetrical and repeats several times |
| Permission to Dance | Often named easiest – simple repeated hand gestures as point choreography |
| IDOL | Beginner-friendly chorus – large repetitive full-body moves despite a high tempo |
| DNA, Fire | Second tier – faster footwork, learnable after the first few songs |
| Fake Love, Black Swan, MIC Drop | Advanced – sharp isolations, floor work or heavy beat drops |
Where the official BTS dance practice videos are
BTS’s official dance practice videos are hosted on the BANGTANTV YouTube channel.
That channel is the primary source any beginner list points to, and it groups the practice uploads together, so you can browse them without hunting one by one.
Using the official uploads also means you are learning the exact staging the group performs, not a fan’s interpretation.
Mirrored versions are the common alternative when a fixed front-facing angle feels awkward.
Independent creator channels supply mirrored tutorials for the same beginner songs – Dynamite, Butter, Boy With Luv and Permission to Dance – so the dancer faces your direction and you can copy left and right directly.
Start with the official BANGTANTV version to learn the real formations, then switch to a mirrored tutorial if copying directions keeps tripping you up.

How to practice: chorus first, one 8-count at a time
Learn the chorus and point moves first, then loop single 8-count blocks at reduced speed until they are clean.
Beginner guides converge on this order because choruses repeat through the song and give the fastest visible progress, while learning a whole song top to bottom stalls early.
1.
Open the chorus section and clear a floor space of roughly 2 meters by 2 meters.
2.
Set YouTube playback to 0.5x or 0.75x – the built-in speed setting works on BANGTANTV practice videos.
3.
Loop one 8-count block until it is clean, then chain it to the next block.
4.
Raise the speed back to 1.0x once the chained blocks hold at a slower setting.
If a block still falls apart at 0.75x, stay at 0.5x for another pass rather than moving on.
If two songs are at the same stage, practicing in shorter, more frequent sessions works better than one long weekly run-through.

BTS dances to leave for later
Skip Fake Love, Black Swan and MIC Drop as a first BTS dance.
Community difficulty lists consistently place them at the hard end: Fake Love and Black Swan use sharp isolations and contemporary-style floor work, and the MIC Drop remix builds on heavy beat drops that are hard to count for a new learner.
DNA and Fire sit in between – faster footwork than the pop singles, but reachable once the first two or three songs are clean.
Blood Sweat & Tears and Run also sit on the harder side of beginner lists, with Run’s fast footwork placing it in the harder half.
The practical dividing line is movement type, not age of the song: songs built on walking grooves and repeated hooks stay learnable, and songs built on floor work or sharp isolations wait.
If a song’s chorus already feels too fast at 0.75x, that is the signal to return to it after the easier set rather than pushing through.

FAQ

Dynamite. Beginner compilations list it first for its repetitive disco-pop choreography with clear 8-count blocks and no floor work, with Butter as the usual second song.
Q. Are BTS dance practice videos good for learning without a mirror?
Yes. The official BANGTANTV practice videos show the full group from one fixed studio angle, so you can follow footwork without a mirror; mirrored fan tutorials are the alternative if directions confuse you.
Q. How slow should playback be when learning BTS choreography?
Start at 0.5x for a new 8-count block, move to 0.75x once it is clean, and only return to 1.0x after the blocks chain together.
Q. Which BTS dance is easiest for beginners?
Permission to Dance is often named the easiest of all, because its chorus is built on simple repeated hand gestures designed as point choreography anyone can copy.
