Hare Hare Yukai is the ending to the anime series, Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya). It's a great song to dance to, but there are specific dance steps that you will need to follow. It's very impressive once you can dance to this.

Steps

Decide your character. If you are a girl, you should choose, Mikuru Asahina, Haruhi Suzumiya, or Yuki Nagato.If you are a boy you will want to choose Kyon or Itsuki Koizumi. Keep in mind that Yuki, Haruhi, and Mikuru appear at the beginning of the dance and stay there, until they end, while Kyon and Itsuki will begin to dance after the first verse of song.

(optional) Get your costumes. You can easily find out what the characters wear, and try to cosplay. It will be hard to make costumes if you don't know how to sew, and buying them will cost you money. You don't have to cosplay.

Find a space where you can practice. It should have a computer nearby so that you can listen to the song or watch a youtube tutorial.

Keep watching the dance steps and memorizing them. Do it part by part and it will be much easier.

There are a few parts that most find especially tricky: when Haruhi points up, to the side, up and then wings her hand before the words start, when Haruhi moves her arms before Kyon and Itsuki come in and the bit at the ending.

Do the first hard part: (with right hand) Point up with your right hand, while keeping your left arm on your hip!Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 6Bullet1.jpg Point left, with your whole arm being a 180 degree angle. Obviously you can't point a 180 angle just standing straight; it will not work. To achieve this step, simply turn your torso 45 degrees towards the left and point left. This should make your right shoulder pointing forward.Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 6Bullet2.jpg From pointing left, move your hand over your face while simultaneously making it a "jazz hand".Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 6Bullet3.jpg Keeping your "jazz hand", only move your elbow to make your arm straight on the right side. This move should look like a semi-circle.Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 6Bullet4.jpg

Do the second hard part: (both arms) Put both of your arms straight up.Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 7Bullet1.jpg Bend your arms into you... bring them down.Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 7Bullet2.jpg Now put them to your sides, still sticking out.Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 7Bullet3.jpg Now to your hips, with your elbows locked!Dance "Hare Hare Yukai" Step 7Bullet4.jpg
