Research In To The Choreography In Music Videos

The dancing in girl band music videos is not usually very tame. As 'sex sells' the females in music videos are usually wearing little outfits and dancing provocatively; here is a perfect example:


Not only is the song lyrics in the above video quite rude they are also semi naked dancing sexily around the male singer and with fire around them.
Also their clothes are all black and matching in some parts.
I also noticed that in every single pussy cat dolls video there is always a part where they are always walking forward in a row with the same foot forward- Almost like a march , I feel this walk is very empowering to women , although some might say what they are wearing and singing about is derogatory; i believe some aspects of the video represent the power within a female and her body holds power over men as the Pussycat dolls look irresistible in there videos.

Similarly Girlicious have matching skimpy outfits , all wearing black and doing the classic 'walk forward' which is used by almost every girl band. Also like Pussycat dolls they all take an item of clothing of at some point in the video.
Also the location in this video is a boxing ring again i feel this is empowering the women in the video saying they are fighters and feisty which i think is a good trait to have as a young women.
Ironically though Girlicious use alot of the Pussycat dolls themes and moves and even look similar as a band even though the song is about being an individual.

This below is a picture of our ballet bar that we will be using in our video.
