My Oh My (feat. DaBaby)Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello – My Oh My (Official Music Video) ft. DaBaby

Camila Cabello’s rather controversial piece, “My Oh My.” This dark track, with even a hint of horror, is incredibly cool.

It’s the kind of music that really makes a statement, and if you dance to it, the vibe will come together instantly.

Since it’s a slow-tempo number with some rap elements, a more mature outfit would fit well, and dancing with a poker face rather than a smile is a great choice.

With its distinctive style, it’s a song that makes creating choreography especially fun.

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.
