Watch Jennifer Lopez Whip And Nae Nae Through Music Video History
With the release of
Hustlers mere days away, fans of
Jennifer Lopez can hardly contain their excitement over her rather buzzed-about pole dancing skills. But on Tuesday (September 10), J.Lo proved that she doesn't require a pole at all in a
Tonight Show segment called "The History of Music Video Dancing."
Alongside
Jimmy Fallon, Lopez took on some of the most iconic choreography in music video history, beginning with
MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" and ending with
Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." In between, the duo hit some of the most viral dance trends, from classics like "Macarena" and
Beyoncé's "Single Girls to
Psy's "Gangnam Fashion and
Drake's "In My Feelings."
Arguably the ideal segment of the segment, although, was any time Fallon and Lopez brought in props to help their music video re-enactments truly come to life. They wore blonde wigs for
Sia's "Chandelier," bounced on silver physical activity balls for
Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball," and put on oversized yellow hoodies as they jumped around for
Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy."
in case you thought their roughly four-minute-long dancing segment seemed easy, think again. Once Fallon mentioned that he was out of breath from the routine, Lopez joked, "Every time I come here I have to work overtime." Fortunately, she's used to that order kind of high-energy choreography — especially since she just recently finished up her
It's My Party Tour this past August.
Looking forward, Lopez can't wait for
Hustlers to hit theaters on Friday (September 13). Not only is she starring in the film, yet she also co-produced it. And no, she did not have any experience with pole dancing prior to filming. "No, I didn't know how to pole dance," she told Fallon. "It's like acrobats. It's like learning gymnastics or something, nevertheless with a pole. It was super hard."
