itt: amazing dancing in music videos.

i'd rather put this here than on ILM.

carefully choreographed or beautifully amateurish. pure unbridled joy or total precision. if you like it then post it!

Woah, is there discussion on that last track elsewhere on ILM?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYPTw4Vd188&feature=youtu.be

hmm...I'll keep it to myself then.

ha bob, a no show?

ed, it's a great track, no? i only heard of it from eric via the paris is burning thread.

I'll say, I'm my 5th or so listen! Also, amazing dancing in music videos is like, my favourite thing. I'll have to scour youtube...

amazing dancing in music videos is like, my favourite thing.

mine too after amazing dancing irl.

ps, i put this here because i thought that some of the lasses of ILE who don't do ILM would enjoy it.

Does it have to be music videos?

whatever you like!

No idea why it is age restricted, but it is The Fall doing "Cab it Up" with dancer Michael Clark. Just really bizarre, wish the whole thing was up there.

Best dancing seems to happen on the TV programme 'Tilt':

Passengers - He's Speedy Like Gonzales
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhdjgB24Oiw

Though I also have massive love for: Giorgio Moroder - Looky Looky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6OMfUleLFM

Although I guess they're 'performances' rather than specifically made music videos. Bugger. I should go to bed.

Co-sign on the love for Tilt, those people knew how to fucking party. I want to live in the world of that Passengers clip every time I watch it. There's another, semi-official video for He's Speedy Like Gonzales that has even more ridiculous choreography of the guys superimposed on luggage, chasing each other, and the ladies in more scanty outfits.

So can we use this thread to post stuff from things like Soul Train, The New Dance Show, or other music and dance videos that aren't music videos proper?

I don't understand how this whole thread isn't just like this

i love person dances in warehouse so much

It is very difficult to find videos of Spazz Attack in the days of online little brother humiliation.

i'm not claiming that this is amazing dancing but it is dancing in a music video and the dancer is me :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltr33fkxkxM

i hope you like it!

i'm the dancer in the shirt and tie. the drag performer is my friend, Laurie.

Hey that's cool. Saw it earlier today as Twitch shared it on Optimo's FB. Love the song.

thanks willem!

I do like it, yes

I love the way Rosie Vela dances in this video. Does anyone have examples of similar dancing?

honestly my fav dance move of all time: the shrug and knee clap move during the chorus here. the extremely lanky dude is icing on the cake

Bother. Anyway, a professional dancer friend sent me this a while ago as her ultimate goal.

thats top 10 for sure. even i would rock those moves if i could pull them off

I didn't even know 3:55 was possible.

Still kind of shocked and disappointed that that Alex Anwandter track at the top never became a huge crossover hit (in a post-Coma Cat way, at least).

http://youtu.be/3sYyf6BrXOE?t=1m35s

Great fusion of disco, body-popping and freestyle folk dancing from the guy who turns up about two minutes in.

I had never heard of this until last night, but wikipedia says this song is huge in eastern europe? There are hundreds of remixes/covers/re-interpretations on youtube.

Tokyo Jihen - OSCA

The concept is a rip of Blur's Crazy Beat video, but it still rules.

handsomest band ever? and yes ben was an amazing dancer.

Ben looked a little like a young Michael Stipe from some angles.

The De La cover sounds like The Kane Gang or Hue & Cry or Curiosity Killed The Cat - is somebody really wanting that??

I don't want to bump the Hero and Leander thread just to say this, but all of these bands are excellent.
