Dance music recommended for high school students

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.
Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Jason Derulo has continued to be a favorite in the R&B scene since the 2000s.

These days, unlike his early work, he incorporates stronger elements of dance music.

A track that lets you fully experience his current sound is Lifestyle feat.

Adam Levine.

It’s a collaboration with Adam Levine, the vocalist of Maroon 5, and features Latin-inspired phrases throughout the song.

It’s a perfect track for a hot summer day—like going on a date with your girlfriend on a mid-sized motorcycle.

LP – One Last Time (Official Music Video)

One Last TimeLP

LP, a singer-songwriter from the United States known for a husky voice and stylish musicality.

She is also an artist who is openly lesbian, and at her concerts, female fans go absolutely wild every time.

Her dance track One Last Time starts off quietly, but once the chorus hits, it becomes more rhythmic and turns into an easy-to-dance number.

This is a must-listen for high school students looking for a high-sense dance track.

In conclusion

Compared to the past, dance music has evolved. It ranges from underground street-dance styles to mainstream pop. Personally, I believe there are as many types of dance as there are kinds of music. It’s fun to pick songs that suit the dance you want to do and create original choreography to perform, so give it a try!
