Recommended songs for jazz dance (11–20)
WeakEdsilia Rombley
Edsilia Rombley is a multi-talented artist from the Netherlands.
In Japan, the term “multi-talent” often evokes the image of someone only dabbling in music, but she is exceptionally skilled as an artist and is highly acclaimed in the Netherlands.
Her signature song, “Weak,” is a piano- and vocal-driven piece that carries a sense of melancholy.
For those who specialize in jazz dance close to contemporary dance, it’s a very danceable track—definitely give it a listen.
Paint It, BlackCiara
The Rolling Stones are a rock band with worldwide popularity, and Paint It, Black is one of their signature songs.
This time, we’ve picked out a cover by R&B singer Ciara.
It features quite a strong arrangement, giving it a different vibe from the original.
In particular, the groove has been extensively reworked, making it very danceable.
Definitely give it a try!
Killing MeSasha Keable, Jorja Smith
Jorja Smith is one of the most popular R&B singers in the UK.
If you keep up with UK R&B, you’ve surely heard of her.
This track, “Killing Me,” is a collaboration with fellow UK R&B singer Sasha Keable.
It’s a seductive, stylish R&B piece with an overall sense of heft and depth, making it highly compatible with dynamic jazz dance choreography.
Walking On AirKerli
Kerli is a female singer representing Estonia.
Like Sub Urban and Bella Poarch, who became famous on TikTok, she specializes in dark pop, and Walking On Air is one of her signature works.
The groove isn’t too difficult, so it’s easy to dance to; however, because it doesn’t build in an obvious, crowd-pleasing way, it can be considered a high-difficulty track that tests a dancer’s skill in that respect.
BernadetteIAMX
When people think of jazz dance, many imagine dynamic moves set to glamorous background music.
It’s true that flashy tracks bring out the appeal of jazz dance, but waltz-style dark songs actually suit it as well.
IAMX’s “Bernadette” is a dark waltz that evokes a Halloween vibe, with an air of mystery and chic running throughout.
If you’re looking to dance a more unconventional style of jazz, be sure to check it out.
LeavesThe Gathering
With the emergence of a wide range of styles, recent jazz dance now allows for various kinds of expression.
If you’ve become somewhat accustomed to jazz dance, you might be interested in trying choreography to music with a different feel than usual.
For those dancers, I recommend “Leaves,” a classic by the Dutch band The Gathering.
While the track is crafted in a gothic rock style, its tone emphasizes beauty more than intensity.
It’s a perfect match for jazz dance, where dynamic choreography leaves a strong impression!

CruelGirl Ultra
Girl Ultra is an R&B singer from Mexico.
It’s no exaggeration to say she’s one of the most highly regarded female Spanish-language R&B singers.
Her track “Cruel” is among her most popular songs.
The melody delivers hard-hitting, authentic R&B—simply put, it’s incredibly sophisticated.
While the groove isn’t overly intense, it’s very easy to dance to.
I recommend it even for beginners.
