Overused Competition Songs 2022

There are currently 82 Million Songs only on Spotify but since years we very often hear the same songs at dance competitions on and on. I don’t want you to stop dancing to your favorite song but it doesn’t help you using a song that many dancers have done (maybe even better) before. As I always say „Don’t make yourself comparable, be unique“.

Judges have seen a lot, surprise them.

If you are currently using a song from the following list, don’t panic. You don’t need to change it. But for future choreographies and routines it would be amazing if more dancers, teachers and choreographers would find and use other music .

The following list is just a short overview, there a lot more songs

that could need a break from competitions or even a retirement.

My work and my interests have always been very diverse and varied. I started dancing when I was a little child at the age of 2 1/2. After many years as a successful competition dancer in Performing Art Dance Styles, as well as Commercial and Street Styles and Ballroom Dancing I began studying Classical Ballett and Contemporary Dance at the Folkwang University in Essen, Germany and with Tatjana Gsovski in Berlin followed by a dance teacher education for Ballroom, Latin and Social Dancing. My education continued in New York City at the Alvin Ailey Dance Center, the Harlem Dance Institute and The University of New York in Musical, Dance History, Dance Notation, JazzDance and Modern Dance. A strong connection to the New York City Ballroom/Voguing Community always has a big influence on my commercial and artistic work as well as my background in Ballett and Dance Theater does. During my time in New York City I also had a chance to become a 2nd Generation Pilates Master Trainer directly educated by Romana Kryzanowska. My stage career gave me the chance to star in many international productions from Musical Theatre, Dance Theatre, Commercials & Industrials to shows like the Moulin Rouge and Paradis Latin in Paris. As a choreographer I was lucky to work for Film and TV productions in Europe as well in the USA, for fashion shows in Paris, London and Amsterdam as well as for several Musical Theater Productions, Commercials, Industrials and events like the Olympic and Paralympic opening and closing ceremonies in Sydney as well as the Gay Games in Sydney and Cologne. Last but not least the background and strong connection to the houses of New York and Atlanta in the Vogue and Ballroom Community gave me the chance to work with many international Drag Queen Artist worldwide as a choreographer and artistic director and consultant. After ending my active career as a dancer on stage, I still work as a choreographer, artistic director and director, international dance judge, dance consultant and mentor as well as an author, sometimes still as a performer or presenter on stage and on camera. apart from my artistic work, I also work as a Pilates, expert and a holistic lifestyle and health coach.
