Songs About Dancing, Vol. 1

When you've done as many music posts as I have over the past several years, it becomes increasingly more difficult each time to find something you haven't explored before. Songs about dancing (or more precisely, with the word "dance" or one of its many derivatives in the titles) seems an obvious choice – but as it turns out, I've never done it before! When I recently got the notion to post "Dancing" songs, I didn't realize (though I probably should have) how many good ones there were. Here are but a few of the ones I found. There will be future volumes of these as well. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams  ~  "Lose Yourself To Dance"

2)  Selena Gomez  ~  "Stars Dance"

3)  David Bowie  ~  "Let's Dance"

4)  MØ  ~  "Don't Wanna Dance"

5)  Walk The Moon  ~  "Shut Up And Dance"

6)  Men Without Hats  ~  "Safety Dance"

7)  Milky Chance  ~  "Stolen Dance"

8)  Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga  ~  "I Won't Dance"

9)  Garth Brooks  ~  "The Dance"  (It's almost impossible to find music videos of Garth on YouTube – by his design, I believe. Live performances are scant also and are usually of dubious quality. But this video of one of his best songs, defies the norm. Great song, great quality!)

10)  Delta Rae  ~  "Dance In The Graveyards"

11)  Van Halen  ~  "Dance The Night Away"

12)  The Bird And The Bee  ~  "Will You Dance?"

21)  Michael Jackson  ~  "Blood On The Dance Floor"

22)  Beach House  ~  "Holy Dances"
