What type of dance class am I looking for?

I am looking for a dance class that does 'music video' dance. Along the lines of pussy cat dolls etc, However I was not quite sure what class this would be, I think my friend used to do something similar - and it was a jazz class, but was not really what many people would consider 'jazz'. What sort of class should I look for? Thanks

1. Usually the type of dance performed in music videos is street dance, though it might combine this with other styles. Street dance sounds like it would best suit what you are looking for
2. It all depends on the style of the teacher. You could go with hiphop, or jazz, but both styles can vary greatly. Hip hop sounds like more of what you want. You could ask to sit in and watch during a class to see if they're teaching the style that you'd like to learn.
3. The style of dance they do in music videos are mixed with hip hop, street dance, krump, popping and breakdance. However, if you're looking for a dance class, hip hop is the one you're looking for. Jazz is more into the ballet, lyrical, contemporary family. If your class isn't doing the type of choreography they do in music videos, that's ok. Hip hop can be created into anything. When you make your hip hop dance it can be slow, quick, sexy, anything you want it to be. I think the closest type you can get in classes is American Hip Hop, which is my style of dance. It's just hip hop, but it has a twist to it. Though I don't think you can specifically get Amercian Hip Hop dance classes, many hip hop teachers might teach American Hip Hop as it's quite common in hip hoppers. If you get used to that kind of thing, you could maybe start breakdance. Make sure you enjoy your classes. If you think they aren't being fair or there are too many people in your dance class, you can easily find a new class. Remember that hip hop is ususally a fast dance if it's done to rap of hip hop music, so if you don't pick up the choreography, don't stress. Nobody gets hip hop choreography when they start. Practise, and you'll be fine. Hope I helped, and good luck!
4. street dance. because its just like music video dance, our dance teacher sometimes takes moves out of specific videos and puts them in our routines. but you should do ballet aswell, because it strengthens you up for every kind of dance.x
