Recommended songs for jazz dance (1–10)
FallSwing Republic
As the name suggests, jazz dance is a genre that is often performed to classic jazz tunes.
In particular, I think swing jazz is frequently used as background music.
Swing jazz has undergone tremendous development today, and there’s even a genre called electro-swing that blends it with electronic music.
The track “Fall” is one such electro-swing piece.
It’s high-tempo, stylish, and avant-garde—truly a perfect fit for dance.
Le bien qui fait malMozart Opera Rock
Mozart, l’Opéra Rock is a musical that represents France.
“Le bien qui fait mal” is a single cut from one of the songs featured in the show.
Released in 2009, it became an explosive hit.
Mozart, l’Opéra Rock has also been performed by Japanese musical troupes and the Takarazuka Revue, so many of you may already know it.
I think its gothic sound really enhances the appeal of jazz dance! Be sure to check it out!
Why Don’t YouGramophonedzie
Gramophonedzie is a music producer based in Serbia who has earned high acclaim worldwide.
While he is one of the leading producers in electro swing, his work is especially characterized by strong influences from house music compared to other producers.
Because of this, his tracks may sound distinctive compared to typical electro swing.

The PrincessParov Stelar
Parov Stelar is a music producer from Austria.
He is known as a leading artist of electro swing, a style that mixes swing jazz with electronic music.
His album The Princess is one of his coolest works, featuring a cohesive sound with an overall dark atmosphere.
If you like noir jazz, this track will be irresistible!
Light up the NightJamie Berry
Jamie Miller, a UK-born music producer often hailed as the king of electro swing, has created numerous hit songs.
Compared to the renowned electro swing producer Parov Stelar, his work shows a stronger EDM influence.
“Light up the Night,” featuring singer Octavia Rose, stands out with its modern sound, highlighted by an EDM-style drop that appears in the middle.
Hit & Run (Wolfgang Lohr Remix)The Electric Swing Circus
In the past, jazz dance commonly showcased dynamic routines with large, expansive choreography.
However, by blending with various other dance genres, jazz dance has undergone significant changes, and nowadays there are contemporary styles that use intricate, detailed movements.
“Hit & Run (Wolfgang Lohr Remix)” is a perfect match for modern jazz dance, crafted as a fast-tempo, stylish electro swing track.
Si on parlaitSheryfa Luna
When you hear “jazz dance,” you might picture something laid-back.
It’s true that jazz dance can look that way because the individual movements are often large.
However, modern jazz dance has evolved, and there are high-energy styles as well.
A great track I recommend for that kind of dance is “Si on parlait.” It’s a classic by French artist Sheryfa Luna, crafted with a charming, stylish sound that’s distinctly French.
