Dance music recommended for high school students

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
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Lifestyle feat. Adam LevineJason Derulo

Jason Derulo has continued to be a favorite in the R&B scene since the 2000s.

These days, unlike his early work, he incorporates stronger elements of dance music.

A track that lets you fully experience his current sound is Lifestyle feat.

Adam Levine.

It’s a collaboration with Adam Levine, the vocalist of Maroon 5, and features Latin-inspired phrases throughout the song.

It’s a perfect track for a hot summer day—like going on a date with your girlfriend on a mid-sized motorcycle.

BEDJoel Corry x RAYE x David Guetta

The masterpiece “BED” was created by three artists: French music producer David Guetta, British pop singer RAYE, and British DJ Joel Corry, who is also active as a television personality.

Released in February 2021, this track is characterized by its light house sound.

Because the song lacks strong dynamic shifts, it might be hard to use for a school festival performance, but it’s highly recommended as a party song.

In conclusion

Compared to the past, dance music has evolved.

It ranges from underground street-dance styles to mainstream pop.

Personally, I believe there are as many types of dance as there are kinds of music.

It’s fun to pick songs that suit the dance you want to do and create original choreography to perform, so give it a try!
