GirlsLife.com - 8 songs to request at your spring dance

Check these out, too...

You’ve got your dress, ideas for your hair and nails are pulled, and you’re just about ready to hit the dance floor. Sure, the decorations and all your friends and crushes help make for an amazing night. But make sure it’s absolutely wonderful by requesting these jams from the DJ who’s spinning. He’s there for a reason, after all!

“Turn Up The Music” – Chris Brown

Start off the dance with an upbeat song that’ll take away everyone’s nerves and get them on the dance floor.

Catch the tune here!

“Fall For You” – Secondhand Serenade

Grab your guy, make him twirl you around, and then slow dance to this sweet, sweet song.

Catch the tune here!

“You Da One” – Rihanna

Don’t have a guy yet? No worries! No better time to tell your crush that you like him than at a dance. Better yet, show him. Dance with him to this jam and he’ll soon know he’s the one you’re always thinking about.

Catch the tune here!

“Moves Like Jagger” – Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera

Forget boy drama for a sec and get your swagged-out dance moves going! Show everyone what you’ve got and how confident you are.

Catch the tune here!

“Party Rock Anthem” – LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock

No dance party would be complete without this song. This will get everyone pumped up, dancing together and just having an all-around fun time!

Catch the tune here!

“Without You” – David Guetta feat. Usher

It’s time to show that special someone you really care for them. Usher’s vocals make this one sweet and perfect for slow dance. And David’s beats help turn it into the perfect fast jam—great to break the ice with your crush by alternating between slow and fast beats.

Catch the tune here!

“Electric Boogie” – Marcia Griffiths

It doesn’t matter how old you are, doing the electric slide will never get old! It’s a dance everyone can do together—even if you’re not the best of dancers.

Catch the tune here!

“Call Me Maybe” – Carly Rae Jepsen

This song may have been made famous because Justin Bieber made a music video for it with his famous buds, but it has stayed popular because it is super catchy! So grab your girlfriends, dance your hearts out, jump around and sing along like there’s no tomorrow. This is your night, so make sure it’s a lot of fun by dancing and singing with your girls.

Catch the tune here!

So my current boyfriend and I started cuddling on the couch on yesterday. He's my best guy friend and we were kidding around, but then we realized we had feelings for each other, and now we are together. Well, he is my ex-boyfriend's best friend. But wait, my ex-boyfriend and I are very good friends, and now we are like brother and sister, and I asked him if it was okay first, and so did my current boyfriend. My ex said it was, and it wouldn't bother him. Last night, I received a text from my ex saying that my current boyfriend was using me. I was very hurt, and tried to break up with my boyfriend. My boyfriend texted me saying it wasn't true, and who told me that. I didn't say, since my ex told me not to tell my bf that he was the one that told me that. My bf called me, and I could tell right away that he wasn't lying when he said that he wasn't with me to use me. He was genuinely sweet. Not fake sweetness, and I could tell that easily. Why would my ex say that though?

Hey babe,

This is actually a really common ex move. You'll see this happen to either yourself or your friends tons of times over the course of your life. Yes, he said it was fine, but you probably shouldn't have trusted him or believed him on that. It's likely that he may be jealous, or just plain uncomfortable at the idea of you two being together.

Hi, so I am going to my first ever dance this Friday night, but I go to a private school with a super strict dress code for the dance. Any ideas? And also one of my bff's wants to ask out a guy at the dance? is this a good idea? Thanks!!!

Hey girlie,

If it's a casual dance, I'd try a pair of skinny jeans and comfy (but cute) flats, with a feminine flowy top! Short sleeves are best because it can get hot at dances, so that will help you keep cool. Accessorize with fun jewelry and enjoy the night!

For your BFF - instead of asking the guy out, she should try asking him to dance first! If he seems into it, she could ask him to dance again later that night. Then the next day, she could go up to him and say "I had a great time at the dance last night. We should hang out again!" Perfect ice breaker!

Mod mod mod! My mom and stepdad are being do unfair! I'm turning 15 in a couple weeks and I'm not allowed to have songs with swearing on my iPod. They turned explicit off and put a lock on restrictions which I figured out. I'm in high school I hear these words every day. What do I do?

Try talking to them honestly and calmly about this. Tell them you're mature enough to know that, just because you hear this stuff in a song, doesn't mean you'll start talking like that/acting like that yourself. Show them you're responsible and prove you're mature by keeping calm, listening to their concerns, and accepting their rules if they don't end up seeing your point of view. If they won't budge, don't freak out - luckily, most songs with explicit lyrics also have clean versions, so you can still enjoy all the music you love!

by ladyinlike on 4/18/2012 3:59:52 PM

Omg I love the song fall for you!
So glad it was put on the list! Yaaaaay

by mygermenshepherd on 4/17/2012 7:43:21 PM

I agree with @hockeygirl1999 that song freakin' RULES!!! Oh and @FairyOfLove I can't change your opinion but he made a mistake. That so-called-woman Rihanna caused it and she's been being annoying about it. She's happy that he did what he did cuz she wanted ALL the attention. @15hayhay lol I remember that song! These are all great songs!

I weigh 88.6 lbs. and my mom is freaking out!! She says I'm going to get fat!! Because I am 5 ft tall. And she's making me scared because she has always been like this and she makes my self confidence go down and makes me think i really am fat!! So what should I do?? Thanx

Girl, I'm 120 lbs. and 5'2". You are not fat at all. At my weight, I'm still considered skinny. Weight will never give you a proper idea of what in your body is actually fat and what is muscle. You're not fat at all, don't let her get to you. You won't. If anything, you're very normal. Jordan S.

I have absolutely no respect for Chris Brown. Any type of abuse is simply not okay, and frankly, his career should have been ruined.

Mod,
A huge thank you to whoever put Oceans by The Format on that Spring Break packing playlist! I'm not normally a huge fan of your playlists (sorry!), but when I saw The Kooks on there and read Oceans's description, I knew I had to check it out. Now I have a new favorite song to enjoy all spring and summer! Again, thank you!

Party Rock Anthem, whoop!

I would be unbelievably happy if they played Fall For You at my prom. I'm a senior, and that's such a strong flashback song to my freshman year. Things are coming full circle. Happy, yet sad.

by Ari on 4/15/2012 9:43:21 PM

OMG Party Rock and Moves Like Jagger were played almost five times at our last school dance!! Along with I'm Sexy and I know It.

PLEASE answer this because to me,it's really important.
So...I am 11 and I am wayyy wise beyond my years. I have only liked 2 guys my age. All the other guys I've like have been 6-8 years older than me. I see myself married to someone 6-8 years older than me and being happy. I know not to do anything I'm not ready for,and there WILL BE a guy who is willing to wait for me. But is it okay that I feel this way???

It's totally fine - and actually NORMAL - for you to feel this way. It's a scientific fact that girls mature earlier than guys. So while you're going through puberty and feeling mature/like you're growing up, the guys around you are NOT at your level yet. But don't worry, that evens out when you get older! Still, some people are attracted to different things. So if you like older guys, there's nothing wrong with that

Surprised One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" wasn't on here. I freaking love them. And yes, I do know other songs other than that. Fangirling err'day. Don't judge Follow me on twitter for good one direction tweets!! @LaurenCairel #Directioner

by laurencairel on 4/14/2012 7:29:49 PM

when in doubt: one direction, what makes you beautiful

by hellokittyhasissues on 4/14/2012 5:50:19 PM

I think that any Usher, Miley Cyrus, or Hot Chelle Rae songs are good for dances. You don't have to like the singer to be able to dance to it.

I tried to request Party Rock Anthem at the bowling alley, but they said it wasn't "family friendly"

by jackieluvz on 4/14/2012 9:48:13 AM

At every school dance at my school, we always play Sexy And I Know It.... doesn't need to be requested!!!! And usually, we play Moves Like Jagger.

i don't really care what they play at dances as long as it's dance-able. but party rock anthem is always a good choice. me and this guy that i'm kind of friends with have the shuffle part down and choreographed!

by the_last_ninja on 4/14/2012 7:24:53 AM

You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship ft. Sabi! Also, great slow dance songs are Don't You Remeber by Adele, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston, and Crazier by Taylor Swift. I dream of my first slow dance to one of these!

by MusikRox1999 on 4/14/2012 3:22:11 AM

I think Up All Night or What Makes You Beautiful should have been on there.

by krazygummybears on 4/14/2012 12:39:48 AM
