Mr Wonderful

SMiLE.dk is a Swedish idol duo.

Their song “Mr.

Wonderful” is one of the tracks included in the music game Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX.

In this game, there are four arrows, and you step according to the directions of those arrows.

As you’d expect from a song featured in a rhythm game, its upbeat sound naturally gets your body moving when you listen.

It might not be very familiar to children today, but it’s a sharp, stylish track, so I recommend it as a dance song!

Shakira – Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) (The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Song)

This is the song by Colombian songstress Shakira that became the official theme for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

The soothing, peaceful African sounds and Shakira’s rich, gentle vocals are comforting, making it perfect as a dance track for school sports days or athletic festivals where everyone works together.

It’s also recommended for use as an opening number.

You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a SmileSia55rank/position

Sia – You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile (2014 Film Version)

This is the theme song from the 2014 musical film Annie, sung by Sia, a singer-songwriter who never shows her face and whose voice brims with talent.

The heartwarming music video features the film’s child cast bringing smiles to the people of New York, and their cheerful dancing and moving to the rhythm is so endearing that you can’t help but smile along.

As a theme song from a musical film, it also works well as a dance track for kids.
