High-energy Western dance music! A must-see for anyone wanting to start performances or dancing! (31–40)
Girls On FilmDuran Duran
An early work by Duran Duran.
It caused quite a stir at the time because the music video was considered rather risqué (sexually).
Right from the start, a sumo wrestler wearing a mawashi appears in a ring alongside a beautiful woman who is also wearing a mawashi (over her clothes, of course), and there’s a scene where they perform shiko (the traditional stomping).
Weapon Of ChoiceFatboy Slim
This is purely a testament to how incredible the actor Christopher Walken is, dancing throughout the entire music video.
It’s a bona fide one-man show.
It’s a performance expressed solely through dance, with no dialogue at all.
I was impressed by how he keeps dancing seamlessly, using everything—the office building’s escalators, tables, chairs, you name it.
He even breaks out wire-fu at the end.
Billie JeanMichael Jackson
This work stands out with its catchy bassline and funky rhythm.
Riding on an irresistible beat that electrifies the dance floor, the lyrics depict the protagonist’s strong denial.
Released in January 1983, the track became a major hit as the second single from the album Thriller, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of Michael Jackson’s signature songs.
It’s also famous for the legendary performance where he showcased the moonwalk.
A guaranteed crowd-pleaser at parties and dance events, this is a track that will have you moving to its lively rhythm before you know it!
ThrillerMichael Jackson
A monster hit released in 1982 by Michael Jackson, known as the King of Pop.
Many of his works feature elaborately story-driven music videos, and among them, the “zombie dance” in this MV could well be called the original “funny dance.”
ChandelierSia
In a stark, bare room, a girl keeps dancing to this song without pause.
Her performance, combining suppleness with dynamism, is utterly mesmerizing.
This work is Sia’s 17th single, released in 2014.
The girl dancing in the music video is Maddie Ziegler, who was still in her early teens at the time of filming.

Let There Be LoveChristina Aguilera
Ranked 58th among Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, the highly acclaimed Christina Aguilera delivers a very catchy, upbeat track that makes you want to jump around.
The music video features various people dancing, so why not use it as a reference?
California Love2Pac
This is one of 2Pac’s signature tracks, celebrating the high-energy party lifestyle of the West Coast.
It vividly showcases California’s appeal, and its rap—mindful of the rivalry with the East Coast—fires up listeners.
Released in 1995, it topped the Billboard charts.
The music video, inspired by the world of the film Mad Max, also drew plenty of attention.
The overwhelming sound created in collaboration with Dr.
Dre makes it a song you’ll want to blast while cruising the West Coast.
An essential, floor-filling anthem that’s indispensable for turning up the party.
