This song is great for tap dancers because of its groove and it’s lyrics. I would love to see choreography set to this one. In fact, if you set a piece to this, share what you did with it in the comments section below.
It’s entitled “I Come Alive” & is included on Incognito’s most recent release.
A fellow user of Tap Dance Songs recently left a comment on the main page seeking song recommendations for a girl’s talent show.
If you have any, please post them to comments in the following format:
Artist Name: Cyndi Lauper
Song Title: Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun
Album: She’s So Unusual: Cyndi Lauper
And follow that with any comments you have about why you think it’s a good choice!
In this case, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” is such a light and fun song. It could lend itself to some really great tap choreography. I can’t wait to see your recommendations!
My latest session of adult tap classes has just begun so I have decided to feature the tap dance music that we are using in those classes here!
You can click the image to purchase from Amazon.com or use one of these great tap dance music sources!
In the beginner’s class our warm up is set to “It Had To Be You” by Steve Tyrell. The arrangement is very open and the bass walk’s on the downbeat, making it easier to dance on when you are just starting out. This CD also features many other great jazz standards for tap dancing!
In the intermediate class, we are developing a piece around Herb Alpert’s title track, Rise. It’s a very groovy, funky piece of music for tap dancing!
In the Wednesday night intermediate class we spent some time last night working on my Paddle warmup to the song “Come on Closer” on Jem’s “Finally Woken” album. This Cd has lots of good music for tap dancers.
Finally, in my advanced adult class, we are developing a piece of choreography to an arrangement of “La Petite Mambo” on Kenny Burrell’s, ‘Soulero’ album.
For my students, I definitely recommend picking these up for practice! For those who are not students, I still recommend experimenting with these pieces some!
