Seniors are hunting for their perfect date, girls are shopping for the perfect dress, and what is all this for? The much-awaited high school dance night of course! From Taylor Swift to Rihanna, and from Pitbull to Michael Jackson, groove to our choice of high school dance songs you would love to dance to.
To dance is to reach for a word that doesn’t exist,
To sing the heartsong of a thousand generations,
To feel the meaning of a moment in time.
― Beth Jones
You may be shy, kind of dorky, but eventually you learn to actually enjoy dances. It doesn’t matter if you go with pals or your latest crush, to homecomings, and prom, and formals; certain songs, especially for teens, are guaranteed to make you jump to your feet, strut your stuff, and set the dance floor on fire! And if it’s a slow dance song, wow, the dance floor is beckoning you!
And those of you who ain’t going to a high school dance anytime soon or are well past that stage, it is always good to indulge in an enjoyable recollection of your good ol’ days.
So, here we come up with a list of dance songs for high schoolers, from then and now. Dim lights, the music tempo, fear and excitement to dance and be the best on the dance floor, and may be finding that someone before the song’s over … well, a lot can happen we know. Melodyful enthralls you with a fun list of high school dance songs. Dance to one of the numbers and have the time of your little life.
* The list is in no particular order.
