During the lockdown period, Zest Dance maintained engagement with students through Zoom classes, ensuring they continued dancing despite the challenging circumstances. Here we share a list of songs that resonated most with our students during this time.

Top Five Lockdown Dance Favourites

  1. Shake It Off - Kids Bop (2015): Despite being released over five years prior, this track remained a consistent student request for dances and games.
  2. Try Everything - Shakira (2016): Featured in the film Zootropolis, this upbeat tune carries an inspirational message about perseverance alongside its dance appeal.
  3. Holiday - Trolls Holiday (2017): A feel-good track, particularly fitting as students anticipated summer break.
  4. What a Man Gotta Do - Jonas Brothers (2020): Popular among older students, this song's steady rhythm worked well for both structured exercises and creative dancing.
  5. The Party Freeze Dance Song - The Kiboomers (2014): Introduced just before lockdown began, this track proved especially popular with younger, pre-school-aged dancers.

These selections reflect the diverse age ranges served by Zest Dance, from toddlers through teenagers, offering music that maintained energy and enthusiasm during remote instruction.
