Happy Summer! Time to refresh those playlists with some fun summer tunes from the Billboard Top 40! Here is a list of songs I've mixed into my classes to keep them feeling updated.That's How We Do - Teen Beach Movie 2: Super fun and upbeat song - would be great for a tap or jazz combination - currently using it in my 7-10 year old tap class
Drop That - Jacob Plant: A nice funky electronic beat - fun for tap or hip hop - totally instrumental
You Know You Like It - DJ Snake & AlunaGeorge - have been using this in teen tap
This Feeling - L’Tric: A fun feel-good song - great for warm-ups
I Don't Like It, I Love It (feat. Robin Thicke & Verdine White) - Flo Rida: My other go-to warm-up song
Fire Under My Feet - Leona Lewis: A nice moderate tempo for tap or jazz
Fun (feat. Chris Brown) - Pitbull: Another moderate tempo
Lean On (Remixes) [feat. MØ & DJ Snake] - EP - Major Lazer: Steady beat for across the floor combos for older students
Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix Radio Edit) - Omi: This song. I have a love-hate relationship with it. The kids love it and it has a nice calypso-y feel to it that makes it fun for tap, so I had to include it. Be warned - this will be the song that plays over and over in your head when you go home for the night.
Rude (Acoustic) - MAGIC!: This is from last summer, but I have been loving using the acoustic version for tap. Such a fun little groove.
