With its straightforward title, “I Feel Like Dancing,” this song is perfect for school-festival dance performances.

Written by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, the number is irresistibly catchy—the chorus simply repeats the title over and over, and after just one listen it gets stuck in your head.

It could be fun to arrange it so the audience watching the dance can sing along with that repeated part, too! Getting everyone to sing together while you dance would make a great memory for the school festival.

The band Jonas Brothers, made up of eldest brother Kevin, second brother Joe, and youngest brother Nick, is known for its remarkably wide musical range.

In addition to pop and rock, they also delve into genres like Latin music.

Their hit song “What A Man Gotta Do,” released in 2020, is a pop-leaning track that gained international popularity.

It’s the kind of universally appealing song that I think fits well with any dance genre.
