Looking for a fun way to ring in the New Year? We’ve put together our best playlist of New Year’s Eve songs for dancing your way into 2023 as a couple.
The playlist starts out with slow songs to help you ease into your evening, then builds to faster music to keep your energy going strong until midnight and beyond.
We’ve provided dance style suggestions for each song, but there’s no dance police here, so feel free to move to the music any way you’d like (yes, even the hug & sway is supported and encouraged here)
We hope you enjoy previewing the songs, adding them to your favorite music platform, and have fun dancing in the arms of the one you love this New Year’s Eve.
Cheers!
