It’s here! Western dance hits that are staples at school culture festivals (41–50)
Call You MineThe Chainsmokers, Bebe Rexha
Their songs are really cool! Also keep an eye on their collaborations with the guest artists featured on each track.
This song is a collaboration with the American artist Bebe Rexha, and their signature medium-slow rhythm just makes your body move naturally.
The Chainsmokers are actively performing live in Japan as well.
Even if you can’t catch them in person, I highly recommend their music for junior high and high school students to listen to more and more.
OmenThe Prodigy
The Prodigy, pioneers who represent the UK’s big beat scene.
This track was released relatively late in their career.
While their biggest success in Japan came in the early 2000s, they’ve been enjoying renewed attention in recent years, with the loud rock band Crossfaith covering their songs, among other signs of a resurgence.
My Oh MyAva Max
Ava Max, an American singer-songwriter known as a leading figure in electropop, is often compared to Lady Gaga not only for her catchy musical style but also for her distinctive fashion sense.
Her latest single, released in April 2024, features a cool vibe and danceable rhythm that incorporates the famous 19th-century melody ‘Arabian riff.’ It’s a great pick for dance performances at school festivals.

GiantCalvin Harris, Rag’n’Bone Man
In 2018, Calvin Harris released buzzworthy tracks like “One Kiss” and “Promises.” In 2019, he released this song featuring British singer-songwriter Rag’n’Bone Man on vocals.
His voice—blending elements of hip-hop and blues—adds a human warmth to Calvin’s cool, almost clinical sound.
Don’t Start NowDua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s hit song “Don’t Start Now” is captivating with her husky low voice.
While the track isn’t exactly uptempo, the bassline hits hard, giving it an irresistibly groovy feel.
A strong bassline also makes it easier to catch the rhythm, so it’s a great recommendation even for those without dance experience.
The melody is pleasantly straightforward, so a wide variety of dance styles will suit it well.
