It was also used in USJ’s Extreme Dance Mob and gained attention.

Since the original work was characterized by incorporating elements like sci-fi and robots into house music, it matches the vibe of the track perfectly.

I think the key now is how to keep the rhythm.

Because it’s originally a four-on-the-floor, up-tempo, catchy dance number, I think the choreography needs some creative ideas.

It’s a classic by the late king of pop, Michael Jackson.

The music video for this song features the famous “zero gravity” move—yes, that signature technique where he leans his body sharply forward.

You might feel hesitant about using such an over-the-top famous song, but for big stages or showcases with large audiences, choosing a universally known crowd-pleaser like this can be a smart move.

Adding some Michael-style choreography mid-performance would likely hype things up even more!

Ready or NotHerbie Hancock

Incorporating elements of funk and disco, this track conveys a fresh challenge from Herbie Hancock.

Featured on the album “Feets, Don’t Fail Me Now,” released in February 1979, it stands out for its repetitive lyrics and striking vocoder effects.

The uplifting beat and energetic lyrics naturally draw listeners onto the dance floor.

This is an ambitious work in which Hancock seeks to push beyond the boundaries of jazz and explore new musical horizons.

It was originally popular as a song for robot dancing, but it went viral thanks to a certain video posted on YouTube.

The two people in the video are brothers who attend a dance school: first the older brother, then the younger brother each show off their moves.

Both have razor-sharp movements with absolutely no timing slips.

And they’ve got a huge repertoire of moves, too!
