Does anyone have any ideas for songs for a tap dance class?

Anything from "Happy Feet" especially Boogie Wonderland

I also saw someone tap to a reggae song by Doug E Fresh called "freak" that looked original

Musicals like Hairspray, Grease, Footloose, Ragtime, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Rent, and many others are great for dancing.

Christina Aguilera, Boy Likes Girl, Shiny Toy Guns, etc. are good for dancing (some songs) and are played often on the radio, so the teens can identify with these songs.

You probably wouldn't enjoy NSYNC or Backstreet Boys, but those are actually good songs to dance to.

Some songs that aren't jazz and swing (it does get annoying to only dance to that) are:

What I like About You

On Broadway

Footloose

All That Jazz

I Enjoy Being A Girl

Shout!

Hot, Hot, Hot

Greased Lightning

You're the One that I Want

I'm Just a Girl

It's Raining Men

I'm So Excited

Groove is in the Heart

Walkin' On Sunshine

Walk Like an Egyptian

Love Shack

Born to Entertain

wikked lil grrrls - esthero

theres a good reason these tables are numbered, honey, you just havent thought of it yet - panic! at the disco

steal my sunshine - r.e.m.

basically any songs from the musical "hairspray"

the song "america" from west side story.

musicals are a great inspiration; they all have a tappy beat and its even better when they kids dancing know the music!

also; i like the other answer's suggestion of happy feet! such awesome dance music.
