Dance music and popular tracks perfect for shuffle dancing

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!

With a laid-back hip-hop beat and an addictive, sticky melody, it’s guaranteed to loop in your head after just one listen! It’s fun not only to dance to solo, but also as a pair with a friend or partner, or in a big group with classmates, club members, coworkers, or family.

MORTEN – Polar (Official Audio)

PolarMORTEN

A release from Spinnin’ Records, one of the leading labels in EDM.

Focusing on the beat itself, it leaves an impression with a somewhat exotic vibe seemingly influenced by dance music from Afro and Latin styles.

It’s a peak-time track with a mysterious mood, recommended for those who enjoy a harder edge.

Will Sparks feat. Luciana – Sick Like That (Lyric Video)

Sick Like ThatWill Sparks

It’s a straightforward track with catchy vocals, so I have a feeling it’ll come in handy when everyone wants to get hyped together.

It’s got that vibe that makes you want to dance in a circle.

I think it would also fit perfectly if you hit a unison move with shuffle dance.

The sub-bass is really solid, too.

Even with low-output speakers, you should be able to clearly catch the tempo and the bass definition, so this is my top recommendation.

The structure follows a classic progression, so people around you won’t get confused.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs Hardwell – Unity (Official Music Video)

UnityDimitri Vegas & Like Mike

It’s a 2018 floor hit released as a collaboration with Hardwell joining the duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

It’s what you’d call big room house.

You can feel the massive sense of scale from the music video, right? I bet many people will feel like doing shuffle dance at outdoor festivals after watching it.

Give it a try—practice and see how it goes!
