Each year we take a moment to reflect on what songs were most popular at dance competitions across the country. Â This is for fun and is certainly not scientific in any way. Â It is a random sampling of various dance competitions.
Let me clarify that dancing to a more popular song does not mean you won’t score well. Â It is all about the combination of technique, unique choreography, and your performance.
