[Classic Songs] Dance Battle Staples (11–20)
Get Busysean paul
Sean Paul, the deejay with the highest name recognition in reggae for export, delivers a track with a catchy rhythm from start to finish.
The flow changes clearly between sections, making it relatively easy to hit the beats.
Even dance styles that ignore headspin and windmill-type rhythms can showcase plenty of appeal.
Since it’s not a particularly quirky track, you can dance however you like without worrying about the rhythm.
It’s a song I can recommend to beginners as well.
Run It!Chris Brown
Chris Brown’s hit song “Run It!”.
You can sense the influence of Michael Jackson—whom he respects—in some of the ad-libs.
As he’s a dancer, there are plenty of moments designed for hitting musical accents.
It’s a track that makes it easy to sync moves not only with power moves but also with footwork.
The biggest accent point is when the track drops out and it’s just the vocals.
Of course, it’s a good match not only for breakdance but for other dance styles as well.
Run the World (Girls)Beyoncé
Beyoncé’s smash hit “Run the World (Girls).” It’s an incredibly famous song, so I’m sure many of you know it.
It’s been used for lots of dance routines.
It’s especially common in cheer dance.
It doesn’t get played as much in breaking.
The sections where the vocals take center stage are where dancers can really show their skills.
It’s relatively easy to dance to with styles like waacking, but if you try to break to it, the difficulty gets pretty high.
It feels so good when you manage to hit the beats cleanly in a track that’s hard to groove to like this.
Like SugarChaka Khan
It’s an irresistible track beloved as a staple for dance battles.
With a funky beat and sweet lyrics, it likens the allure of music and the joy of dancing to sugar.
Released in 2018, the song appears on Chaka Khan’s album Hello Happiness.
Blending disco and funk elements, it’s a piece that highlights Khan’s powerful vocals.
Perfect for energizing the dance floor or having fun with friends, this energetic track captures the beauty of people connecting through music.
Make It Bun DemSkrillex & Damian
An energetic, uplifting track that fuses electronic and reggae.
Released in May 2012, it charted internationally.
In the United States, it sold one million units and earned Platinum certification.
Featuring powerful beats and defiant lyrics, it expresses a stance of resisting oppression.
It was also used in the action game Far Cry 3, gaining attention among gamers.
This is a perfect song for getting the dance floor going or finding the courage to face challenges.
With Skrillex’s heavy bass and Damian Marley’s reggae rhythms in perfect harmony, it’s ideal as a party anthem or for dance battles.
