It’s a track with a breezy, summery feel and an infectious, light-footed beat.

The UK garage–inspired sound pairs perfectly with Jung Kook’s smooth vocals.

The lyrics, which sing about the passion of spending all seven days of the week with a loved one, are romantic yet boldly expressive.

Released in July 2023, the song made waves worldwide, including hitting No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Produced by a Grammy-winning producer, it has also sparked many copy-dance posts on social media.

It’s a surefire attention-grabber for performances at school festivals and similar events.

Ava Max is the most exciting singer-songwriter in the electro-pop scene.

She’s gained popularity with her striking looks, bold fashion, and high-energy performances.

Among her songs, the dance track I’d recommend to high school students is “My Head & My Heart.” It’s an upbeat electro-pop piece with a super high-energy chorus.

The rhythm is easy to catch, so it’s perfect for a school festival performance!

Ariana Grande is an American singer-songwriter with fans all around the world.

Early on, she was often compared to Mariah Carey because of her wide vocal range.

Perhaps due to that environment, she quickly shifted toward an idol direction.

Nowadays, she has transitioned to the path of a full-fledged singer, and you can fully appreciate that change in her on “positions.” If you’re a high school student who likes stylish dance music, be sure to check it out.

Alok, a DJ who represents Brazil.

His signature style blends electronic music like EDM, deep house, and future house into a unique sound loved not only in Brazil and South America, but all around the world.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend for high school students is Love Again feat.

Alida.

The melody has the refined feel of deep house, and the track delivers an immersive, high-energy groove.

Bebe Rexha is a singer who’s popular in the dance music scene.

In her early days she focused on pop-centered dance music, but recently she’s shifted to dance music rooted in house.

One of her dance tracks is Sacrifice.

Since it’s house music, it might be hard to use for a school festival dance, but I think it’s perfect for an after-party or celebration.

Definitely give it a listen.
