Great Dance Party Songs
73
At all parties there are songs which make everyone get up and dance. What song this is depends on the occasion and the audience. These tracks mostly come from the last 20 years which are associated and they are all tracks which I associate with dancing in clubs. They all have the same effect though - people get up and dance (although not necessary well!).
Instead of just writing a list, I have also embedded a video for every one of these great dance songs further down the page, so if you wish to hear the track/watch the video then you can very easily.
Feel free to comment at the bottom if you feel I have missed any out or have any suggestions of your favourite dance party song!

I have included it now :).
Abba and Bob Marley were good choice.
What? No Cher or Madonna:-)?
Great list. If it weren't so late at night I'd get up and start dancing myself!
This list is going to grow, I can just see it happening. Quite a few in here I really like as well. One of my favorite bands was Transvision Vamp and I pretty much like all their stuff but 'Trash City' is a particularly good party track.
I recognise Transvision Vamp so have added that. Have also added Cher's Believe. I think it was voted as one of the most annoying songs of all time in a recent poll, however it is played when I go out to events at my university etc.
Great tunes, BB :) yes, even I dance to those songs and it's great exercise,lol
Thanks for the compliment DS.
Wow cool songs I feel like.., partying! Problem is, I'd have to get invited first! Thanks for sharing :D
Thanks for the compliment Cris A. I hoped they would get people partying, as it was a hub I put together completely on the spur of the moment when seeing the request.
BristolBoy How are you, very nice collection, Thanks for commenting on my hub after long time
Thanks for the comment Lgali. Hope you enjoyed the music!
What about David Bowie's 'Let's Dance' ? And we always dance around the kitchen (very badly) to La Bamba - and bet other people do the same (with the blind down).
fun list! I'm ready to party now! :)
Nice collection and good tastes BristolBoy! some of my all time favorites!;)
The songs on this list seem pretty tame, more like head-bobbing than actual dancing. Most dances I go to have songs like "Low" by Flo Rida (which I don't actually like, it's just the first one that popped into my head) or even pre-choreoghraphed ones like the "Cha Cha Slide."
Thanks for the comments and positive feedback. AJ Hargrove I guess it must be a cultural thing, and I know it was just an example on your part, but things like Low or Cha Cha Slide in the UK would not be classed as dance music! In fact attempting to play it in a club will probably result in a riot (unless it is a club which specialises in RnB etc).
"You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life, oh oh oh...."
I love music, anykind of music. Wonderful hub. Dont see anything on Queen, Chaka Khan, and the BeeGees?
I absolutely love dancing and enjoyed your choice. Music is medicine for the soul. Dancing finetunes my body.
'Fantabulous' hub. Will visit again and again.

I agree Viraybo. Dancing is amazing and a really good thing. Any tracks which get you up and dancing are good in my books. I am glad you enjoyed it - I enjoyed creating it. You made some good suggestions - I will have to add them when I have time!
Just popped in to listen to Gloria Gaynor.
pump up the radioooo blast your stereo righhhhhtttttttt
Thanks for commenting Hardy har har. I agree - play these tunes loud!
OMG! You've got some of my all time favs on this list!! Great choices :))
Thanks for commenting positively Debnet - I am glad you enjoyed it!
Hmmm, I like 3 or 4 :( But that's me LOL :) Nice hub and I know Debbie enjoys many of these songs.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Tony. It is a shame that you didn't find more to yoru taste, but then I guess that is the glorious thing about music - we all like different types.
What about 'It Just Wont Do' by Tim Deluxe! (Youtube search Fatboy Slim Brighton Beach). Good mix of songs, and for helping me find more that I like.
I remember the Fatboy Slim Brighton Beach gig well! It just won't do by Time Deluxe is a good track I will admit, but not quite good enough to make it onto this list of great dance party songs I'm afriad!
