Classes often include a creative dance segment, and this song’s easy-to-follow rhythm and catchy beat also help develop a sense of rhythm.
Among contemporary songs, it’s widely recognized across many groups, so even middle schoolers who’ve never danced before will find it approachable for physical expression activities.

HappyNEW!Pharrell Williams
“Happy” is a track by Pharrell Williams, and as the title suggests, it features a distinctive, upbeat rhythm wrapped in a happy vibe.

Here We Go AgainOliver Tree & David Guetta
Hitmaker Oliver Tree keeps dropping one big tune after another.
His new track, “Here We Go Again,” leans more into house than his previous bangers, making it a dance track with a stronger house flavor.
Since it’s not just a straightforward four-on-the-floor, I think it’s easy to use as BGM for creative choreography.
The stylish vibe also seems like a great fit for styles like locking and animation.
