I think a good question is what songs will impress people that can be played by non-experts? Most songs I've mentioned and other people have mentioned are high-level 8s, 9s or even 10s.

Anything mildly flashy tends to get attention so freestyling/routines are another option and thats where songs like Wonderland (UKS Mix) and smooooch・∀・

I think the standard now heavily depends on what kind of community there is at your local arcade. At mine, myself and a friend are the only two regulars who play anything on expert on both Euromix 2 and Supernova. Since 99% of others who play ddr here just play on beginner or standard, anything on difficult or expert would be worth noting and playing any 9/10 and doing well would be considered good. Of course these standards are probably pretty low compared to other arcades/communities in the UK.
Honestly, I'm the best regular at my arcade, and I fail at Max300 Expert, mostly due to endurance issues (I'm overweight, apply overweight-people-barely-being-able-to-pull-a-chocolate-wrapper-off-without-sweating-or-being-out-of-breath stereotype here xD) and being unable to process the second half of the song are my excuses for sucking at it. Honestly, I think you're very likely better than me. I've tried Supernova, it's fun to play, only played it once tho :L

THIS. I couldn't have said it better. I personally go to two different arcades regularly (neither of them have DDR, sadly, so I have to play ITG). One is at a movie theatre where a bunch of non-player high school kids show up. I can draw crowds playing pretty much any song I want, on a Friday evening, and this includes the occasional 6 footer that I throw in there just for fun. I've had spectators who think I'm crazy good just for playing 10+ footers on one set, even though I'm really not.
And then there's another mall that has an arcade room of its own. Here, the ITG machine is hidden from outside, and most arcade visitors are hardcore gamers who played since 2009 or longer (much longer than myself). Even if I play 11 footers, usually no one even cares. If I happen to play doubles (and I'm still quite new to that), people just wait for me to finish by playing other games. Basically, with this crew of people, you need to play 12-13 footers on all three songs and score 90%+ to be considered pretty darn awesome.
These two arcade machines are less than 10 km apart.

I had a trip down my local EXTREME cabinet. It was a sunny Saturday, so many people were there. Accessing the Extra Stage and playing the Legend of Max drew a LOT of people's attention, mostly for the siren.
Oh, and the slowdown as well. Songs with BPM changes or stops tend to impress people as well.

That's because those songs look "cool".
When playing most 7s or lower (and even many 8s), there aren't many complicated movements for people to gawk at. Songs with crossovers, fast streams and such look more impressive than a double step triplet.
Can't Stop Fallin' In Love -SPEED MIX- has impressed a lot of crowds for me.
