It’s the season for school dances, as the “Galentines” dance happened this past Saturday, and the boat dance quickly approaching, students are expecting to hear the usual overhyped songs like “Cha Cha Slide”.
As someone who has been to multiple school dances, which were filled with songs that are mediocre at best, in terms of melody and vibe, I feel as though these songs ruin the nights of many in terms of hoping for better music.
To make an unforgettable and perfect school dance, the atmosphere should be filled with upbeat, heartfelt, and timeless songs. These songs will make you feel every type of emotion with their energetic, feel-good, romantic, or dance-worthy vibe.
Here’s my top categories of must have songs at a school dance:

“Levitating” by Dua Lipa
“Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd
“Call Me Maybe” By Carly Rae Jepsen
