[HIP-HOP] Recommended Hip-Hop Dance Songs

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.

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably a dancer or someone who loves hip-hop tracks, right?

What kind of songs are easy to dance to?

The answer varies from person to person, of course, but in this article I’d like to introduce a mix of classic and new tracks that are generally popular.

These are all legendary songs used not only in Japan but also by professional dancers overseas, so feel free to use them as a reference.

Find your favorite tracks, come up with your own original choreography, and dance away.

I’m sure you’ll have a great time!
