That one works for me too

Do You Love Me(now that I can dance) The Contours.

I guess every song from dirty dancing works at getting you moving.

There's a whole routine that goes with this one.

Run Around

The beat makes you happy to move while the lyrics are kinda angry. It does make your feet go though.

1968

How could I forget?

Hey ya! By Outcast

Of some other somg but just never could put my finger on it. But yeah makes one want to bounce.

It's a good one. I loved the hollies. He ain't heavy was my favorite And Lomg cool woman was a good one too.

I took classes in it for awhile, way back when. It was great fun!

C+C Music Factory

"Gonna make you sweat"

Finally one that can involve actual bodily contact

This one always made my want to skip in place

It's quite a demand
It's futile to resist

And, how are you doing, Mrs. Marceline? ('The Marriage Of Figaro' is still my favorite opera.)

Favorite opera for story line. It's funny. But my favorite aria is Vesti la Giubba from Pagliacci. Bu it makes me mad that a man would claim such ownership of a wife that he'd kill just because he thinks he's been made a fool of by a cheating wife. Errrrr passes me off.

and I danced .... in the wine aisle.

Every time long jacket came on the radio at work I danced and sang. I loved having the office to myself.

Makes me want to calypso

This is my all time favorite dance song. Every time I see the movie, generally about once a year, I get up and rock out hard to that tune. It is amazing!

Well Dressed Man and Leggs by ZZ Top are also great as dance - work out tunes.

To make you move
Sharp dresses man I even sing to with a whole routine. I used to watch blues Brothers yearly too. Not so much in recent years though

I found it frustrating during the convention when they would just play the word freedom. Finally after Kamalas speech after Beyonces Freedom they did play the whole song.

They called me Disco King on the dance floor lol

You hear the first few notes of these and you're out on the floor. I still love disco. We'd go to the clubs in Illinois and dance till 4 in the morning.

Healing, Global Nation, Todd Rundgren
Shiny Happy People, REM
Celebration, Kool & the Gang
All I Need is a Miracle, Mike & the Mechanics

For a long time you could hear Celebration played on the juke boxes at least once every hour

Many of his makes people move

Had a Dream. (Sleeping with the Enemy)
Roger Hodgson
Love Shack. The B-52's

All good ones
Love shack always made me dance

Magnificent. Loved him.

It's all about going out and dancing so you just have to dance

No one has said Jackie Wilson or James Brown yet.


I Feel Good
Like I knew that I would. Whew

You really know how to dance

. . .did a mix of original stuff and covers and that song was absolutely guaranteed to get everyone out on the dance floor. This was in the mid 80's to early 90's, so perhaps it wouldn't "work" as well these days, but it sure did back then!

this one is great . Starts out slow and smooth. I love Antony Quinn

Spencer Davis Group

Of Steve Winwoods song make us dance. I know I think I was up dancing through his concert. At least I don't remember sitting

And he didn't stop moving. I was a little girl then ( likely the same age as his 1st wife)

Be on every djs list

This one is a good one.

Santana is good for movement

The dance floor always filled up with this one. My favorite Seger song is Against the Wind

Sir Elton's

Loved this song when she was about 4 or so. She would dance and sing to it. You're tight can't forget this one.

Just saw an old clip on FB of him singing it on the Muppets the other day. Backed by the Muppet "band," and crocodile Muppets.😄

Whitesnake Is this Love

Also great for power walking!

Start doing the John Travolta strut

That would do it

I remember when Shining Star would play everyone was on the dance floor. I always liked their clothes too.

A dance floor. It's like some of the people just wait for this song before they'll get off their ass and dance.

much to the delight of my mom (RIP). One of my best memories - soothes the soul.

note i dont formaly dance , i sit in a chair and bounce my legs up and down.

People like rhat.
They're the ones that end up watching our drinks and purses.

Reminds me of the Addams family.
Phone Fisher on Miss Fisher's murder mysteries did a very sexy tango. I always like watching a good dancer including ballroom.

Small Town Boy/Bronski Beat
What I Like About You/The Romantics
New Sensation/INXS
Addicted to Love/Robert Palmer

Yeah, I'm a child of the 80s.
