Commercial dance refers to choreography created for the entertainment industry — including music videos, concerts, television performances and advertising. The style borrows movements from hip-hop, jazz and street dance techniques.
Rather than following a single traditional technique, commercial dance focuses on performance quality, musicality and stage presence. Choreography is often fast-paced and expressive, designed to match contemporary pop and chart music.
London is one of Europe’s main hubs for commercial dance thanks to its strong music, fashion and entertainment industries. Many professional dancers train in the city before working in tours, theatre productions and televised performances.
