Happy International Dance Day, everybody!

Today is the day, all ‘round the world, where, finally, it’s okay to dance. The past couple of years have seen lots of awesome music blur the line between traditional dance music and indie/electro beats.

Why not appreciate such a bounty on the most appropriate of days, International Dance Day?

Without further adieu, Sword Swallower’s Top Five Awesome Dance Songs that have come out since last year’s IDD:

I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You – Black Kids
Kids – MGMT
Let’s Dance to Joy Division – The Wombats
I Believe – Simian Mobile Disco
D.A.N.C.E. – Justice

Basically, if you listen to all these songs in succession, your head will explode. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. After you boogie to those hits, visit Toronto’s Yonge and Dundas to enjoy some free dance performances or check out Calgary’s Toronto Dominion Square for more of the same. OR check out this sweet list of ballet performances all around Canada to enjoy on this most danciful day.

Peace out,
