It’s here! Western dance hits that are sure-fire favorites at school culture festivals (51–60)
Never Really OverKaty Perry
It’s a track where Katy Perry sings powerfully, giving you the courage to live boldly.
The chorus, with its vibrant, colorful dancers, is exhilarating, and it’s a song I’d love people who are tired of dull everyday life to hear on a special day like a school festival or cultural festival.
It’s a happy dance tune packed with the message: let’s enjoy embracing change without fear and take a new step forward.
Dancing Feet ft. DNCEKygo
Kygo is a leading Norwegian music producer.
Specializing in deep house and tropical house, he has remained at the forefront since the 2010s.
One of his standout tracks is Dancing Feet ft.
DNCE.
Featuring the dance-rock band DNCE, the song has an overall synth-pop style that’s very on-trend.
Consider using it as background music for your school festival.
HIPMAMAMOO
Mamamoo, the K-pop idols known for their dirty and sexy vibe, rose to popularity with this image.
Their song “HIP,” released in 2019, is one of their hit tracks.
It carries a gothic feel that evokes a Halloween-like atmosphere.
Since it’s not up-tempo, it isn’t suited for intense choreography.
Considering unity with the melody and rhythm, styles like waacking would fit best.
Songs with many patterned sections like “HIP” make it easy to create standout solo moments, so they’re recommended.
BoyfriendMabel
Mabel is a singer-songwriter from the UK.
In 2019, she achieved the highest sales among female artists in the UK, and she is now recognized as a globally successful British artist.
Her hit song “Boyfriend,” released in 2020, became popular for its track incorporating trendy tropical house elements and its cool vocals.
It also suits popping and locking, so I highly recommend it!
FlowersMiley Cyrus
“Flowers” is a rapidly rising hit by American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus.
She debuted in 2008 with her first album, “Breakout,” and she’s popular in Japan as well, so it’s a great pick that even people who don’t usually listen to Western music can easily get excited about together.
The song has a mysterious vibe that seems like it would pair well with that kind of dance, too! It’s hugely popular on music streaming services and beyond, so it’s also a top recommendation for anyone looking for stylish Western music.
