Solo song ideas

[Aixsta]

Hello, 

 

My dance teacher has given me have a new jazz solo and has let me choose the song. 

I have spent lots of time on Spotify looking at jazz solo songs, but still uncertain on what song to choose. 

I am 15 years old so I want a ‘mature’  song but I’m open to suggestions. 

Im wondering what make a song good to dance to? I personally think having highs and low parts in the music is important, but anything else? 

If you could give song suggestions that would be greatly appreciated:)

 

Thankyou xx

I've seen some lovely solos to some of the songs from Chicago. 

 

bye bye blackbird is another jazz type song I've seen done as a solo dance.

 

i think it helps to have a story in your mind as you dance.

 

good luck x

Post Modern Jukebox do some fab reworkings of pop songs in different styles. Definitely worth a look!
