A few that come to mind (ragam): Devi neeye thunai (keeravani), Naan oru vilaiyattu (navarasa kannada), Kanjadalayadakshi (kamalamanohari), Sri Kamakshi (vasantha), Meenakshi me mudam (poorvikalyani), Sri chakra raja (ragamalika). These are classics that are danced often, and I suspect you can get a sense of most by a YouTube search. There are several other contemporary pieces by Muralidharan, Madurai Krishnan, and others.

There are so many compositions on Devi that are suitable.

Shyama Sastri's Bhairavi swarajati (amba kAmAkshi),
Muthiah Bhagavathar's daru varnam in Khamas (mAthE)
Lalgudi Jayaraman's ragamalika navarasa varnam - Angayarkanni
Madurai Muralidharan's simhavahini varNam in ranjani is quite popular
