I’d say hip hop mixed with modern contemporary Just an uneducated guess.

The music is Afro Pop.

But they aren’t doing Afro.

Although it may have some hip hop and more commercial moves, it’s just Choreography but the style is defined by the choreographer and what he mixes (dance genres) in the choreo.

I know that we always want to label things, but most of these dances are dance variations and combinations so, the teachers only put their names on the flyer because they have their own style but isn’t that organized to make it a dance style or genre itself.

Combining rave and ballet with a touch of hip hop.

Ceilidh: my gateway style. Taught me motion and the joy of movement and how to be silly and competent together

Blues: taught me partner dance skills: how to lead, how to follow, how to connect with a partner via anything from a 1 hand contact to fully body close embrace. How to improvise

Balfolk, my true dance love: taught me how to connect in massive groups or tiny partner dances. How to become one with a rythm. How to fly on music. How to embody tiny differences in cultural styles. A huge amount of musicality (11/4 waltzes :D)

If the only form of dance, I do but… Traditional Japanese Because the movement isn’t just about beauty it’s about perfecting the movement and the Strict a discipline of the art and I think it’s something borderline spiritual about it. That makes me feel connected with my culture.

House Dance. When you research about the history you understand the impact of this dance genre in modern and street dances / culture.

Belly dancing. taught me about self-acceptance. Gained a lot more self confidence and self esteem from it.

Pretty sure it's just contemporary, with all the jumps and big movements, but it's got inspo from them all.

I think the thing that ties it together for them is that each of their dancers is tellably good at one, and then expanded that.

Much like musicians finding their voice.

Just start with one, any, that you enjoy, run w it from there.

No point doing it JUST to learn the one imo

Many of the videos have choreography that is based in hip hop. Some of them feature jazz elements and even ballroom(vogue) ish styles. 

I found this coreographers react a great way to at least know of the different styles 😁 she does reac to the whole album so it is a longer video. But she talks about the different styles in each one or where they originate from :)

I would agree! Hip Hop, Jazz...and definitely Michael Jackson inspired!

Irish dance! I've been doing it for a couple years and it's so vastly different in so many ways, but it's a ton of fun!

I love urban styles—house, tutting, popping and locking—its really a different language than ballet, but its so fun. Plus, in all honesty, I love hip hop music more than I Iike classical.

I love jazz too - its just so much fun!

Tap! I am not very good, but I love that it is almost more a mental exercise then a physical exercise. Both are almost meditative for me, but in different ways.

Modern. I did the Paul Taylor intensive one summer during college, and that was a blast!

What about including West Coast Swing? https://youtu.be/x1nfhBxCdZY

What are you using these dance reels for? Is this for a portfolio or application for a company/school or are we talking about making social media reels? These are ENTIRELY different criteria and greatly affect what we could suggest.

If this is for a professional situation like a job/school/company then you're far better off demonstrating the QUALITY of your dance, not dabbling in dances you don't actually have experience in. A teacher/instructor/director will easily spot an amateur or advanced dancer based on little movements you do, so 30s of dancing ballet (if you've never taken lessons in) would actually hurt your chances quite badly, compared to 30 seconds of whatever your primary styles are.

Reviewers will be interested in your musicality, the quality of your movements (not your dance style), connection, fundamentals, balance, choreography, and improvisation. What is less important than HOW.

If we're just talking reels for social media, I would much rather watch a person dancing in a style they're awesome at, than something they've practiced for a few days.

You should have a variety of styles for your dance reel to show versatility. You should also have a couple of versions for different kinds of jobs like a high energy one for commercial jobs and one that shows more artistry for concert dance jobs.

Ultimately, it depends on what you’re auditioning for.

I think JAZZ is a good place to start for basics

Musical Theatre Jazz and Commercial Dance.

Edit to add: Ballet as a foundation for jazz technique too!

Jive. I love the idea of making it look like you’re skipping on air

Cha cha I feel like it would be best for social situations and easier to learn than the others!

I want to dance a Quickstep so badly.

I just want to dance a sick ass Argentine tango at least once before I die

Argentine Tango or Contemporary. The story telling aspect is just cool.

Salsa

It is very rare to see a Lindy hop

Bachata

Jitterbug

Tap

West Coast Swing, I’d say other styles but I don’t need the pros butchering styles the way they do jazz and contemporary no offense 😭
