“Another Day of Sun,” featured in the opening of the 2016 film La La Land.

Its bubbly, uplifting melody is really striking, isn’t it? There are several sections where the music pauses, which makes it perfect for choreography that wants to create standout moments.

It may be tough to master, but that just makes the rush after dancing it through irresistible.

Plenty of “I tried dancing” videos have been uploaded, and it’s a dance number where original arrangements really shine.
