Sounds like the Algorithm Dance from Pythagoras Switch. Dailymotion link of the dance alone and with ninjas

It's a song in Japanese, that is known for the dance moves. The dance is done with a line of people, and the moves correspond to the person in front of them. I kind of remember the sound of the lyrics, but not the actual lyrics. It goes sort of like "Ippo susu, demaemarae. Ippo susu, deeraiito. Hippuri kaete peko ringo. ——, chollo chollo." I think there is a video of people doing this dance in an Anime convention, on You Tube.
