A fun mix of pop hits, oldies and funk that will keep your elementary students moving and grooving in jazz class!
Pop Warm-Up & Cool-Down Songs
These songs have a moderate tempo to get things warmed up without hyping up the class. Great for exercises like “point / flex”, isolations and stretches. Sometimes I like to use them to calm a class down if they are very hyper.
Kiss The Girl – Colbie Caillat 
Beauty and the Beast – Jump5
How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You – Marvin Gaye
Do You Believe In Magic – Aly & AJ
You’ll Be In My Heart – Drew Seeley
Happy Tracks
Great beat, these songs would be good for class or for recital! They have a loud easy beat to hear and pick up on without being too fast. I danced to Dinosaur Rock N Roll when I was in 2nd grade and we had a “real” dinosaur (one of the older students) moonwalk across the floor like she says in the lyrics! It was my favorite dance!
Reach – S Club 7
Fun, Fun, Fun – Sugar Beats
Love Train – Sugar Beats
Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong – Spin Doctors
Dinosaur Rock and Roll – Joanie Bartels
Sugar-High Songs
Great for jumping jacks, jump across the floor or to inject some energy if your class starts to nod off!
Bouncin Off The Ceiling – A*Teens
Da Roof Is On Fire (Follow the Leader) – Soca Boys
Happy Boys & Happy Girls – Aqua
Tra La La – The Banana Splits
