- Fame by Irene Cara
- Flashdance… What a Feeling by Irene Cara (she’s a legend)
- Footloose by Kenny Loggins (are you noticing a theme here?)
- Jump (for my Love) by Pointer Sisters (breaking from the theme here although the music video for this song did feature at the start of the original VHS of Girls Just Want to Have Fun)
- Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) by Beyoncé (one day I will learn that dance)
Without Beyoncé, this list could easily have morphed into 5 best dance movies of all time or 5 reason I wanted to go to performing arts school when I was a kid.
