- This is how different (or not) the Benidorm Fest 2026 ranking would have been, according to YouTube and Spotify views
Now yes, Benidorm Fest 2026 is here. The fifth edition of the RTVE musical competition is being held these days at the Palau d'Esports l'Illa in Benidorm from February 10 to 14. A year where 24 groups will try to win the Golden Mermaid and the prize of 150,000 euros.
one of them is Daniel J. who this year performs with Bailarte: a song that promises to make people talk in this edition. The Sevillian artist, who has become a benchmark for bachata in Europe, has opted for a song that talks about connection and desire.
What Dancing You is talking about
Dancing youthe song with which Dani J performs at Benidorm Fest 2026, is a song that leaves aside spoken language to discover the language that two people have when they start dancing. A universal language that does not need words. And with the movements, two people can cperfectly communicate on the dance floor. Without the need to say anything.

In this way, as Dani J has declared to RTVE, Bailarte is a love story that is told through movement. So the stage bet is sure to be full of nods to dance.
Lyrics Bailarte by Dani J
It was like a magnet
Your body and mine wanted to touch
It was like dancing
The bachata in my mind was playing again
So I approached
And you me too
So I tried
The touch of your skin
Dancing you, time stops
Dancing you, I become eternal
Dancing you, I want to kiss you
Dancing you, we lack air
Dancing you, the sky opens up to me
Dancing you, I don't touch the ground
Dancing you, I want to kiss you
Dancing you, we lack air
It was like flying
Your mouth and mine were getting closer
It was almost unreal
There was no one else in the entire place.
So I approached
And you me too
So I tried
The touch of your skin
Dancing you, time stops
Dancing you, I become eternal
Dancing you, I want to kiss you
Dancing you, we lack air
Dancing you, the sky opens up to me
Dancing you, I don't touch the ground
Dancing you, I want to kiss you
Dancing you, we lack air
Dancing you, dancing you
Your body and mine
It was a challenge
Dancing you, dancing you
The people looked
Jealous and silent
Dancing you, dancing you
There was nothing else
just looks
Dancing you, dancing you
I wanted you
and you kissed me
