It’s lit! Western dance tracks that always kill at school culture festivals

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

It weaves together electronic dance music with soul and blues to create a unique sound.

Centered on a story of lovers in a past life, the lyrics portray a fated reunion and a bond that transcends time, resulting in a mysterious and romantic atmosphere.

My Oh My (feat. DaBaby)Camila Cabello

My Oh My (feat. DaBaby)Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello’s rather controversial piece, “My Oh My.” This dark track, with even a hint of horror, is incredibly cool.

It’s the kind of music that really makes a statement, and if you dance to it, the vibe will come together instantly.

Since it’s a slow-tempo number with some rap elements, a more mature outfit would fit well, and dancing with a poker face rather than a smile is a great choice.

With its distinctive style, it’s a song that makes creating choreography especially fun.

Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You

I Really Like YouCarly Rae Jepsen

My head is full of thoughts about them.

I’ll be in trouble if we stay more than friends but not quite lovers.

I’m hopelessly in love—but what about them? My anxiety grows, wondering if we share the same feelings.

Just one step left before confessing.

This is a song that portrays the feelings of real, everyday girls.

Charlie Puth – Light Switch (Tiësto Remix) [Official Audio]

Light Switch (Tiësto Remix)Charlie Puth

Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who gained worldwide popularity with the theme song of the hit movie “Fast & Furious,” See You Again feat.

Charlie Puth, continues to be at the forefront of the scene with his wide musical range.

This track, Light Switch (Tiësto Remix), is a remix by music producer Tiësto of the first song he released in 2022.

Since it carries little of the original song’s vibe, you can enjoy it purely as EDM.

It’s a catchy, upbeat track, so please consider using it as BGM for your school festival.
