Top 10 Best Dancing Singers

Some singers don't just stand there and belt out a tune. They light up the stage with moves that make your jaw drop. You know the ones. The artists who glide, spin, and stomp their way through performances with the kind of skill that makes you wonder if they were born dancing. Their concerts aren't just about the music. They are full-on spectacles where choreography and vocals come together in a way that gets the entire crowd moving.

Maybe you're drawn to those crisp, precise routines that seem impossibly smooth. Or perhaps you love the wild energy of an artist who lets loose and dances like they're completely lost in the beat. No matter what style speaks to you, one thing is clear. When a singer can move as well as they sing, it takes their performance to another level.

This list is all about the best of the best. These are the artists who have proven time and time again that they are just as much dancers as they are vocalists.

The Top Ten

Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer, and songwriter. He passed away from cardiac arrest caused by acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication, which was ruled a homicide. Jackson is widely regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures... read more

There will never be another Michael Jackson. People should stop saying others will be "the next Michael Jackson" because that doesn't exist. Michael truly had an incredible God-given talent and nurtured it with practice.
However, no amount of practice can make up for the amount of talent this performer had. He has more talent in the curl hanging over his eye than anyone else has in their entire body. I'll love him forever. He is the greatest ever!

Michael Jackson was this planet's hero and always will be. Usher is nothing compared to him. He can never beat Michael, not even in a dream. Indians are with him. He is the god of all.
Then, how can a person beat a god? This is impossible. This will never happen. This is the Michael fans' challenge to everybody.
Chris Brown

Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he participated in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He gained international notoriety in 2009 for his physical assault of singer... read more

The key to being a good dancer is having the heart. You can be an amazing dancer and not have the heart and throw it all away. When he dances, he goes into his own world.
He is not embarrassed, and he feels free, and nothing is stopping him. This makes his performance the best!

Chris Brown is not only the best dancer of our time, but he is also athletic, so he can do backflips and so on. He is a legend and an icon. People like Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo, and Austin Mahone all look up to Chris Brown.

Chris is the man. I am from Jamaica, and I want Chris to visit our country once again but in Manchester!
Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi) is an American former singer and actress. She was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. As a child, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows, such as The Mickey Mouse Club, before signing with Jive Records in... read more

Britney is quite the dancer. Her singing is average, but damn, she knows how to move! Watch the Me Against the Music video. The choreography is so complex, and she manages to do it.

Watch her performances since the beginning of her career from 1998. Britney can really dance and put on quite a show.

Britney manages to execute difficult and challenging choreographies with such ease!
Usher

Usher Terry Raymond IV (born October 14, 1978, in Dallas, Texas) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. He was raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he sang in church choirs before moving with his mother and brother to Atlanta, Georgia, at age twelve, securing a recording contract with... read more

When it comes to dancing and singing at the same time, no male entertainer can maintain their vocals with movement like Usher. The only person who shows better breath support would go back to Michael Jackson.

Really!? Everybody knows that Usher is the best second dancer, which means he is way better than Shakira, Beyoncé, Britney, and most of all, way better than Chris Brown. All I'm saying is that this list isn't fair at all.

Usher's flair and smoothness isn't matched by anyone in the modern era. He was the first to make street dancing (freestyle) mainstream.
Beyoncé

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who began her career as lead singer of Destiny's Child. The group scored multiple Billboard No. 1 hits including "Say My Name," "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Survivor," "Independent Women," and "Bootylicious." After their split,... read more

Beyoncé is known as the complete package! As an African American, she is MY girl. She can sing, dance, act, all at the same time. Her dancing is fierce!
Also, Mariah Carey's voice edges out anyone's ability to dance, sing, or act at the same time. She hits those notes like butter!

Even at one point, you will feel Michael Jackson is no match for this lady. To get the proof, watch her live performances and concerts. They are the proof of why this lady is magical. It is also the reason why she can top the charts and grab those GRAMMYs.
Shakira

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll is a Colombian-Spanish singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer, and model. She rose to international fame in the late 1990s with Latin pop hits and has sold over 85 million records worldwide. Shakira is also known for her philanthropic work through her... read more

Britney Spears lip-syncs a lot, but Shakira sings and dances at the same time without struggle. She is one of the best singers of all time in my opinion. Britney Spears may sing live, but the backtrack is louder than her voice, so you can't really hear her real voice.
Shakira doesn't use any backtrack, and she still manages to do it.

Shakira may not be a professional dancer. There is no technique in her moves...BUT she creates her own moves, and they are UNIQUE. Plus, she can belly dance, which is her signature.
When someone thinks about moving their hips, it's all about "moving the hips like Shakira".
Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and dancer known for her innovative music, socially conscious lyrics, and elaborate stage shows. She gained prominence with her third album, Control (1986), and has since sold over 100 million records worldwide. Jackson is also recognized as... read more

The female answer to Michael and the creator of the style Beyoncé, Britney, and Ciara use today. Beyoncé may ask you to bow down, but Janet Jackson built the throne, so kiss the ring of the queen.

Janet is a true queen. She doesn't have to tell you to bow down. You do so because she deserves it.

Janet is better than Britney and the other female singers.
Jason Derulo

Jason Joel Desrouleaux, known professionally as Jason Derulo, is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. He rose to fame with his debut single "Whatcha Say," which was released in 2009 and went triple platinum. Other hit singles include "Ridin' Solo," "In My Head," "Wiggle," "Talk Dirty," "Trumpets... read more

Wow, wow, he's the best dancer. Look at him dancing in Talk Dirty, Wiggle Wiggle, Want to Want Me, Whatcha Say, Ridin' Solo...

Out of your list, I think Jason Derulo is the best!

Jason Derulo should be in the second position!
Bruno Mars

Peter Gene Hernandez, professionally known as Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and choreographer.
Mars rose to fame in 2010 through his collaborations on the hits "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, both of which featured... read more

He does dance. Actually, he can dance. Listen to his live performances.

Why only 14! He doesn't belong here!
Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger, born Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente on June 29, 1978, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, and television personality. She first rose to fame as the lead singer of the pop and R&B group The Pussycat Dolls. Scherzinger has also appeared as a judge on various talent... read more

She's better than Beyonce in my opinion because with Nicole, at least it's all her. It's natural. Beyonce is possessed. She even looks demonically possessed when she is performing, and that's why she can dance, and it doesn't affect her singing.
Either she is possessed, or she is lip-syncing. I can't even take Beyonce seriously.

She sings and dances like in Broadway. This girl actually has a great voice and dancing skills. She should be in the top ten. I mean, come on, Katy Perry is even higher ranked than her. Ridiculous!

The Newcomers

?
Tina Turner

Tina Turner, née Anna Mae Bullock, was a singer, dancer, actress, and author, whose career spanned more than half a century, earning her widespread recognition and numerous awards. She was known as the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. Turner sold over 100 million records worldwide and won eight Grammy Awards... read more

Her talent for dancing and singing showed at an early age. Check out her dancing at the opening of her 1971 concert in Holland and during the song "Land of 1000 Dances" at The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1969.
During all her tours, she danced to most songs until she finished her final tour at the age of 69.

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley was an American singer and actor, widely dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll" and regarded as a pivotal cultural icon of the 20th century. His energetic musical interpretation and provocative performance style, bridging racial music traditions in a shifting era, both fueled his fame... read more

No doubt Michael Jackson is #1, but Elvis should at least be in the top 3. R.I.P Elvis Presley.

The Contenders

Ciara

Ciara Princess Harris, known mononymously as Ciara, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, model, and actress. She rose to fame with her debut album Goodies in 2004, which featured hits like 1, 2 Step and Oh. She is married to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Ciara is definitely the best female dancer, period! No other female can dance like her. Heck, her only competition would be Chris Brown! Sorry, ladies!

This girl's dancing skills are what made her career. Without her dancing, she would not have a career, because the girl can't sing!

Your legs will start to burn just by watching her moves. Hard work, precision, and elasticity, honey.
Justin Timberlake

Justin Randall Timberlake is an American singer-songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer. Born and raised in Tennessee, he began his career on television shows like Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. He gained fame as a member of the boy band NSYNC before launching a successful solo... read more

Justin Timberlake is the most complete artist on Earth right now... dancer, singer, actor... he's behind Michael...

Justin Timberlake, in my opinion, is the second-best dancer who is also a singer. He follows closely behind Usher.

The best all-around performer today.
James Brown

James Joseph Brown was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer, and bandleader. A progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century popular music and dance, he's often referred to as the "Godfather of Soul." His energetic performances and innovative rhythms influenced... read more

Sorry, guys. James Brown started it all, and his footwork was flawless. From Jagger to MJ, everybody after him took his moves.
Madonna

Madonna Louise Ciccone, known professionally as Madonna, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She has influenced many artists, including Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyoncé Knowles, and Britney Spears. Often referred to as the "Queen of Pop," she has played a significant... read more

Of course, it's Madonna. I cannot even compare these bimbo artists to the effort put by Madge on the stage.

Madonna is the best artist dancer of all time, by far!

Should be in the top part of this list!
Lady Gaga

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.
Early in her career, she performed at Lollapalooza on August 4, 2007, as part of "Lady Gaga & The Starlight Revue," where she was noticed by Interscope Records executive Vincent... read more

She has it all. She can dance, sing, and act and excel in all of them.
Prince

Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016) was an American musician, widely regarded as one of the most popular and influential artists of the 1980s. He was known for his eclectic musical style, flamboyant stage presence, and mastery of multiple instruments. Some of his most iconic songs include... read more

Prince is only 3%? The people voting must be way too young to remember what a phenomenal dancer he was!
Adam Lambert

Adam Mitchel Lambert (born January 29, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and stage actor. He rose to prominence as the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol in 2009. Since then, he has sold over 2.5 million albums and five million singles worldwide.

In my opinion, the ONLY vocalist who can dance and stay perfectly in tune. None of the others on this list can dance and stay perfectly in tune, certainly not Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, or Madonna. They all warble and change pitch, whereas Adam Lambert doesn't. Superb vocalist.
Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande‑Butera (born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her four‑octave vocal range has earned widespread critical praise, and her personal life continues to attract significant media attention. She has received numerous honors, including two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award... read more

Ariana Grande is the best singer who can dance while performing.
Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lynn Lopez, also known as J. Lo, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, fashion designer, author, producer, and businesswoman. She's regarded as one of the most influential entertainers of her time, credited with breaking barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and helping propel... read more

JLo should be on top over Britney and Beyoncé. JLo is a professional dancer and she is still performing like in her 20s. She can beat the other pop divas anytime.

She is an awesome dancer, and she really grooves her moves!

JLo is a better singer and a much more impressive dancer. Sometimes she sings below the original note, but at that time, the moves she does compensate 200% to the beat. As per my rating, JLo and Beyoncé are both divas with the best dancing and singing quality.
Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known as Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress, and has served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2013.
She is among the best-selling artists ever, with four Guinness World Records... read more

I adore KP! She's one-of-a-kind. Her first album 'One Of The Boys' is pop-rock, her second album 'Teenage Dream' is pop, and her recent album 'Prism' is Swedish pop-dance music. She does all sorts of genres so everyone can like her - including me.
Victoria Justice

Victoria Dawn Justice is an American actress and singer. She debuted as an actress at the age of ten and has since appeared in several films and television series, including the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101 and Victorious.

He wasn't a dancer, but he made a performance with the London Royal Ballet. He walked on stage like nobody else. I love him.
Mick Jagger
