It’s that time of year again! Dancers everywhere are pregaming for 4th of July festivities by wearing their best red-white-and-blue dance gear, and planning where their team will meet up to watch their city’s long-anticipated (and potentially illegal) firework show. It’s flat-out patriotic!
To keep up with the celebration (and to solidify yourself as your student’s favorite teacher for at least the next month), we’ve compiled 20 songs that are great for your Independence Day dance class this year. Whether you’re in need of music for a jazz, hip-hop or ballet class, with a little creativity, these songs are sure to bring down the house.
Check ’em out! Oh, and you’re welcome 💁♀️.
