Does it have to be music videos?

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':

Although I guess they're 'performances' rather than specifically made music videos. Bugger. I should go to bed.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 03:58 (eleven years ago) link
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?

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).

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