Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Unbelievable by EMF still makes me feel like bouncing around a room in a fit.
If I'm feeling a little groovier... Urban Dance Squad - Deeper Shade of Soul
Though it should be said that I don't dance, sooo...
B52's "Love Shack" comes immediately to mind!
and this late REM gem, "Man-sized Wreath" https://youtu.be/fFF8iwdhc0k -- short, fast, boppin', with a sweet very danceable beat.
One of the greatest covers in history, by LCD Soundsystem.
Love this. I thought about saying Dance Yrself Clean. But the intro is very long before the dancing starts
Step it Up by Stereo MC's
I always dance to the left, to the right ...
Superb track, indeed!
I can't dance for shit, but this makes me want to pick up the guitar that I can barely play, and jump around like a lunatic π
The Sandinistas - Ready To Blow
Bodys is probably Will Toledo's most danceable song.
At Car Seat Headrest shows, Will is always dancing like really badly on stage. But he's absolutely grooving. And it's kind of intoxicating. When I went to a show in May '22, he had everyone in the house dancing.
