Dance Music Recommendations for High School Students (1–10)
GIRL LIKE MEBlack Eyed Peas, Shakira
The hugely popular Colombian artist Shakira and the Black Eyed Peas released “GIRL LIKE ME,” a track that became an international hit in 2021.
It blends a modern tropical house-like sound with a distinctive melodic line reminiscent of 1980s dance music.
Songs with an ‘80s vibe like this are likely to become mainstream, so high school students should definitely check them out and catch the trend as quickly as possible.
SorryJustin Bieber
This is a memorable track with a catchy rhythm that blends pop and electronic elements.
In this song, Justin Bieber acknowledges his past mistakes and asks for forgiveness; it was released in October 2015.
Included on the album Purpose, it became a massive hit, topping the charts in many countries.
Its fresh sound, incorporating dancehall pop and tropical house influences, is perfect for high school students.
It’s a quintessential new-school hip-hop track that’s great for large-group dance performances.
Rain On MeLady Gaga, Ariana Grande
The song Rain On Me became a global smash hit in 2020.
It’s a collaboration between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande—divas from different generations—and it drew attention even before its release as an unusual pairing.
The melody has a classic dance-music feel; rather than leaning into the recent electro-pop trend, it gives more of a straightforward pop impression.
That said, it’s far from ordinary—it’s catchy and sticks in your head, so be sure to give it a listen.
MonsterShawn Mendes, Justin Bieber
“Monster,” a collaboration between Canadian-born idols Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes.
Both artists boast massive female fan bases around the world, and while their paths have diverged from their initial images—Mendes embracing the singer-songwriter route and Bieber leaning into hip-hop—each has firmly established his own style.
This track lets you fully appreciate their growth.
It’s not a high-intensity dance tune, but it has a solid groove, making it a great pick for nighttime parties.
Make you happyNiziU
NiziU is a Japanese idol group formed through a project by Sony Music and JYP Entertainment.
In the past, Japanese idols were not necessarily known for having high-level vocal or dance skills.
NiziU has broken that trend and is recognized as a highly skilled idol group.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for high school students is “Make you happy.” It’s also one of their signature tracks, so playing it is sure to get everyone excited!
