45 Best 2000s Dance Songs

25. “Hung Up” By Madonna

Song Year: 2005

Madonna has decades of popular dance hits, and “Hung Up” was one of the best in the 2000s.

The song is catchy, entertaining, and groovy, with a mix of disco and electronica that will make the whole party want to dance all night long.

26. “One More Time” By Daft Punk

Song Year: 2000

Daft Punk, a French electronic music duo, released “One More Time” in 2000, much to the pleasure and enjoyment of club-goers and electronic music fans everywhere.

The song is relatively long, but it feels much shorter because it is engaging, funky, and exciting.

Plus, songs that explicitly talk about dancing and celebration are the best for doing just that – dancing and celebrating!

27. “Bulletproof” By La Roux

Song Year: 2009

There’s something about La Roux’s striking and convicting voice that makes “Bulletproof” an addicting song to this day, even though it was released in 2009.

The lyrics are about standing up for oneself and not letting someone take advantage of you. You can feel empowered, confident, and strong as you dance to this hit track.

28. “The Sweet Escape” By Gwen Stefani

Song Year: 2006

“The Sweet Escape” is almost just as fun to sing along to as it is to dance to, primarily due to Gwen Stefani’s catchy and sugary-sweet voice.

The sound is pleasant, and the lyrics are somewhat optimistic, despite the subject matter being about a complicated relationship.

29. “Move, Shake, Drop” By Pitbull, featuring Flo Rida

Song Year: 2009

This song is high-energy and perfect for dancing, no matter what your skill level is.

This is especially true because it’s one of those interactive dance songs that tell you what to do and when. It’s hard not to move, shake, and drop when Pitbull sings those lyrics in the chorus.

30 “Goodies” By Ciara, featuring Petey Pablo

Song Year: 2004

“Goodies” is another incredibly recognizable dance hit from the 2000s that makes you want to move your body every time you hear it.

Ciara has high vocals that compliment the high-pitched instrumental that the song is known for. It’s no wonder that this song is a classic, as it has all the right elements for a dance track.

31. “Dirrty” By Christina Aguilera, featuring Redman

Song Year: 2002

“Dirrty” is one of the best dance songs for the club because it encourages a wild, carefree, and shameless attitude.

Christina Aguilera’s voice is sultry and seductive, while the instrumentals are rough and aggressive. This song is the perfect choice to play when you want to inspire fun chaos.

32. “Ride With Me” By Nelly

Song Year: 2000

Right at the beginning of the 2000s, Nelly released “Ride With Me,” which helped rap continue to gain mainstream popularity.

This is not the song for high-energy dancing but is the perfect song to play for daytime hangouts and backyard barbecues when you want people to be able to casually dance or nod their heads along.

33. “Evacuate The Dancefloor” By Cascada

Song Year: 2009

Another party and club classic is “Evacuate The Dancefloor” by Cascada.

At first, it might seem like evacuating the dance floor is the opposite of what you want to do during a dance song, but the idea is that the floor is getting so “hot” and exciting because of the riveting music and fiery dance moves.

The lyrics are easy to sing along to, and when you’re singing about how the beat is infectious, it makes you realize just how true that is!

34. “Bump, Bump, Bump” By B2K, featuring Diddy

Song Year: 2002

If you want a purely fun and light-hearted song, then “Bump, Bump, Bump” is the track for you.

The lyrics are about dancing and flirting with someone you’re attracted to, and the music video features some impressive dance moves.

It’s the perfect song to help you get rid of any stress or worries and have a good time.

35. “Snap Yo Fingers” By Lil Jon, E-40, and Sean Paul (of Youngbloodz)

Song Year: 2006

Whether it’s the relevant snapping sound in the background or Lil Jon yelling the command, it’s nearly impossible not to dance – or at least snap – to this dance hit.

The beat is so catchy, and the lyrics are incredibly fun. This is a highly energetic song that’ll pump you up in a heartbeat.

36. “Tell Me When To Go” By E-40

Song Year: 2006

2006 was clearly a great year for E-40 because not only was he on the hip hop hit mentioned above, but he also released “Tell Me When To Go,” a true hyphy jam inspired by where he’s from in San Francisco, a.k.a. “The Bay” area.

The heavy bass and hyped-up lyrics prompt listeners to lose control, have fun, and “go dumb.”
