Music videos with people dancing

I like to watch people dance. Suggest me your favorites? Recent (< 2 or so years) would be better, and any genre works. Bonus for males as I feel agile movement in this genre is under-represented.
Dancing boys, you say... Here's some K-pop.

Not a music video, but the recent film of the Broadway production of Newsies has a lot of really great dancing. I think it's on Netflix now, and there are clips of a lot of the songs on YouTube.

A friend of mine likes to watch youtube videos of wedding / wedding proposal flash mobs to get this fix.

This one is old, and will make some of the userbase cry, but the dancing and editing are so damn tight: Obama victory dance.

If you like taxi-hailing, roller-skating, and basic parkour with your dancing, this video is a lot of fun.

Bobby Banas - not within the past two years but just something every dance lover should see. There's 3 guys dancing in this short video but you'll know right away which one is the Best 60s Boy Dancer Ever.

You're going to love 1Milliom Dance Studio's clips on Youtube. It's a South Korean dance studio; the instructors/choreographers create and demo a dance, and then they show clips of other people (their students?) performing the same dance.
I'm currently fascinated by this routine (an exception to the usual format).

Slow Club - Two Cousins - a couple of guys doing something charlestony.
Christine and the Queens - Tilted - i don't know what this genre of dance is but there are three guys in it.
This is not a music video, but it is the (male) choreographer of Sia's Chandelier music video performing the dance from that video while a voice-over narrates his choreography.

Any of Missy Elliott's videos! Like this one or this one.
This Fatboy Slim video featuring Christopher Walken is pretty awesome, too.
And if you're interested in unrepresented male dancing, the guy in this Meghan Trainor video definitely fits the bill.

The link that Short End Of A Wishbone posted is truly inspired. As a chaser, I always watch the Bruno Mars Uptown Funk video. It's so much fun!

I really enjoy Davey Dance Blog--it's just a guy who dances to pop songs in various cities around the world. Unfortunately, according to a recent update on the blog, Davey was injured in late 2016 and is recovering rather than dancing at the moment, but there are 8+ hours of archived videos of him dancing.

This one may well be my favourite--he's dancing to Edith Piaf with his 90 year old grandfather and his 2 year old nephew.
