I must be missing the appeal of Sweet Caroline as a dance song. A siing along song? Sure. But dancing? Multiple people suggested it.

For me, old time disco. I Will Survive. McArthur Park. Even the Rik Roll song. Madonna.

#2 is fine and among my faves for that purpose.
#3 is OK but I always kind of viewed that as one for the ladies at end of the eve

I could give you a very long list of songs; but they would all be for partner dances...West Coast Swing, Country Two Step, Waltz, and any of the latin dances. I can't remember the last time I free styled. What can I say? If I'm dancing I prefer to be doing so while in contact with my partner. (That's the most politically correct way I can think of to say that. LOL)

Happy New Year!
