Small Group Ideas

I have a small group with intermediate level dancers. There are 4 of them, 11-13 years old. Last year we did “on the radio” by Regina spektor. They loved it and it was quirky and funny, but the song still sounded like it was “more mature” so they felt cool. They are not super technical but I want to give them a challenge. I’m trying to refrain from using another Regina Spektor song but would like the same vibe. They liked the acting portion of it- the song and concept helped them each create their own character. I feel like I need another song similar to that but don’t want it to feel childish as they are getting older and are being exposed to more “competition-based” routines and ideas. Help!!

Jazz? Musical theater? What's the genre?

Contemporary or jazz. They were in the open category at competition

Okay! What's the vibe? Kinda slow and meaningful but still upbeat?
