Music has always been a big part of my life, but everything changed when I discovered dance music. That’s when my world really opened up in ways I didn’t expect.
There’s something about dance music that feels freeing. It’s more than just beats and bass drops—it’s a form of expression, a way to let go. And for so many people, it’s been a way to find community and connect with others, even when life feels tough.
This playlist is dedicated to the ravers of dance music, who have brought that feeling of freedom and togetherness to the dance floor. These tracks are a reminder that even when things aren’t going right, you can dance your way through it. In fact, I recently read a study that found dancing to be just as—if not more—effective than other physical activities for improving mental and cognitive health. So, we must be on to something.
That’s the vibe here: a celebration of pushing through and finding joy, even when life throws you curveballs. The music on this playlist is all about embracing that inner optimism we all need. Because, really, what’s more vital to the human experience than pushing through the hard times and dancing your way back to freedom?
