Fusing heavy bass beats with energetic shouts, this piece embodies a rebellious spirit that asks: why does the party have to end? Its powerful sound was widely acclaimed across various media, featuring in the film Furious 7 and in a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial.

With its straightforward title, “I Feel Like Dancing,” this song is perfect for school-festival dance performances.

Written by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, the number is irresistibly catchy—the chorus simply repeats the title over and over, and after just one listen it gets stuck in your head.

It could be fun to arrange it so the audience watching the dance can sing along with that repeated part, too! Getting everyone to sing together while you dance would make a great memory for the school festival.

Sam Smith, Kim Petras – Unholy (Official Music Video)

“Unholy,” with its striking, slam-like bass drop in the intro, is a surefire crowd-pleasing dance tune for any school festival.

This track by British singer-songwriter Sam Smith especially shines with the build-up from the a cappella intro into the bass—absolute perfection! If you choreograph to that flow, you’ll naturally come up with cool dance ideas that hype up the crowd.

In the middle, it shifts to the part sung by female vocalist Kim Petras, so adding a change in the choreography there is a great idea too.
