JLo
NSync
Wannabe
Uptown Funk
Vogue
Burlesque

So I guess it really is replicate the music video, right?
In which case whoever does Love Is A Battlefield will get my vote.”

This is what went through my mind. have been sitting trying to think of as many iconic couples or solo dances as I could and managed fewer than 20
Dirty Dancing
Flash Dance
Shall We Dance
Antonio Banderas and Katya Virshilas Argentine Tango
John Travoltas hustle from SNF
Several numbers by Fred and Ginger/ Fred of course
plus several iconic Gene Kelly numbers
That's about all I can thnk of I would call really iconic. There are a few more tenuous ones like Strictly Ballroom - Paso maybe - but would you really be able to identify the film from the dance if it were performed by different people? Same goes for Save the last Dance, Cuban Fury and Dance with me.
Every other dance I can think of that I would call iconic is a group number.
