Between schoolwork, the pandemic and February blues, it’s been easy to get into a funk lately. I think it’s fair to say we’re all searching for new ways to pull ourselves out of this gloomy daze. As silly as it may sound, one of my favourites solutions is to have my little dance party. Whether you’re alone in your room or with friends over Zoom, I promise it’s more fun than you may think! 

Not sure if dancing it will bring some positivity to your life? Let’s start off easy then, and kickoff the dance party with some nostalgic 2000s music. Here’s my playlist, complete with my favourite 2000s throwback songs! I promise that you won’t be able to resist the urge to get up and dance! 

  1. One, Two Step – Ciara ft. Missy Elliot
  2. Complicated – Avril Lavigne
  3. Just Dance – Lady Gaga
  4. Replay -Iyaz 
  5. American Boy – Estelle
  6. Yeah! – Usher 
  7. Toxic – Britney Spears 
  8. Crazy in Love- Beyonce ft. Jay-Z 
  9. Dynamite – Taio Cruz
  10.  Rich Girl- Gwen Stefani 
  11. Pon de Replay- Rihanna 
  12. Hot in Here – Nelly 
  13. Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani

I hope you give this de-stressing tactic a try! Whether with friends, family, or even just on your, own I guarantee you these songs will pick you up out of your funk!
