Twist and Shout by The Beatles
An oldie but a goodie, it’s hard not to swing your hips to this classic. Best played at the beginning of the night to encourage people to get moving.
Let’s Dance by David Bowie
“Put on your red shoes and dance the blues”. Another timeless tune, no party is complete without a track from the forever legendary and iconic Bowie.
Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry
Possibly one of the most recognised bass riffs of our time, there won’t be a single person sitting this funky smash out. Extra points go to the person who plays the best air guitar!
I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You by The Black Kid
This upbeat indie rock song will ensure everyone is bouncing when the catchy chorus kicks in.
Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader
A global hit that is impossible not to sway and smile to, this cheery song gets people of all ages off their seat.
You Should Be Dancing by the Bee Gees
The first hit that launched the Bee Gees into their disco era and a friendly reminder to your guests. Brownie points for reaching those high notes.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston
The late disco diva with several dance classics, this one will have everyone dancing, but let’s leave the singing to the master with the incredible pipes.
(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty by KC & The Sunshine Band
Recognised by everybody, this booty shaking jam will have you wearing out your dancing shoes (and your twerking moves) in no time.
Dance Wiv Me by Dizzee Rascal
Adding some hip-hop in for a healthy mix, this upbeat track accommodates those who are more prone to a foot-tap than a full blown, sweaty, choreographed routine.
Dancing Queen by ABBA
This dance anthem goes without saying, really. Just look at those jazz hands!
If you have a birthday looming and want to get your guests grooving, our ultimate birthday party playlist is sure to fill the dance floor.
