One of my favorite family activities is family dance party. It’s easy, inexpensive, and everyone can participate.

We’ve been doing family dance parties for several year so we have a family dance party playlist already set up. Over the years, we add new songs that fit our criteria of being “clean” and very “danceable” (yes, I just made that word up).

Since I’m always recommending family dance parties as a family activity, I thought I should probably share our dance party playlist to get you started! Below are the songs we play for our dance parties.

Family dance party is one of our favorite family activities. This playlist is full of great songs that are perfect for dancing and are kid-friendly.

How to Create Your Playlist

Back in the “olden” days, we would keep a stack of CD’s next to the CD player and rotate through different songs. Thankfully, technology has made creating a playlist MUCH easier.

Now you can set up a playlist on Spotify (free if you don’t mind ads). You can upgrade to a paid membership to get rid of the ads (prices start at $9.99/month).

Since we have an Amazon Echo I just like to tell Alexa to turn on our music. 

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you automatically get Prime Music (ad-free, on-demand access to over 2 million songs). Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial

You can also access Amazon’s entire music library (tens of millions of songs!) via Amazon Music Unlimited. It’s a subscription-based service (starting at $7.99/month) that gives you the ability to download the music so you can listen to it even when you’re offline. Try Amazon Music Unlimited 30-Day Free Trial (you can change or cancel anytime).

You can also set up your family dance party playlist on YouTube. All of the songs listed above are on my YouTube “Family Dance Party” playlist.

    nice selection of dancing songs.
    Can I suggest you try a South African band who always get me up and dancing. They are called Mango Groove, brilliant for children and adults. You can google them
