Where Justin Gets His Dance Moves From
Many of the most popular mainstream dancers at the moment are music stars who also like to do their fair bit of dancing in their music videos. From Beyonce to Chris Brown to Usher and Britney Spears.
One of the most popular pop stars slash dancers at the moment is Justin Timberlake. Many of his songs with danceable beats like ‘Like I Love You’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ have featured his individual dance moves and also brilliant group dance routines.
One of the guys behind Justin’s dance steps is Marty Kudelka – one of the hottest dance choreographers around at the moment. Marty has choreographed some of Justin’s more recent work like his video ‘My Love’ and also Justin’s FutureSex/ LoveSounds tour.
Every popular dancer usually has some sort of mentor like dancers or teachers that inspired them, or great choreographers. Hiring top choreographers is becoming one of the more important tasks for those responsible for today’s pop stars.
Every dance choreographer has their own unique style and many work in particular preferred styles of dance. For example the choreographers of Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’ are very different from those who choreographed the video for Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ for example.
It is important for those responsible for a music artist to find choreographers who will compliment the image of that star. For example very sexy and feminine choreography works very well for the Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce, whereas Missy Elliot is more suited to hip-hop and club dance inspired styles.
The importance of hiring the right choreographer has never been more important in today’s age where image is so important for music artists. And it’s no longer just boy bands and girl bands that use dance routines in their acts, all sorts of music bands and artists are making use of dancers.
Once you get used to an artist doing dancing in their videos you expect the moves and routines that they make famous to become a part of their act. And they’ll usually stick with the formula of what works by continuing to make use of dance moves in their videos and tours.
Even Michael Jackson had his dance teachers. From his dancing it is obvious he was inspired by many great dancers but it was Jeffrey Daniel from soul group Shalamar who taught Michael Jackson the backslide or ‘moonwalk’ as it is more commonly known.
Behind every dancer there are choreographers that help make things happen and very often are responsible for the dance moves that catapult the artists and dancers into the spotlight.

@Jerry Cantrell: If you’re not going to answer my question, just shut the f*** up about telling people that they have terrible taste in music. Just believe what you want to believe and listen to what you want to listen to and stop convincing people that their music is horrible. And, asking for the logos of these bands/artists does not necessarily mean that I listen to/am a fan of these bands/artists. I actually don’t listen to more than 60% of those I listed above. I’m asking about the fonts, not about my taste and your taste in music.
And lastly, f*** you, Jerry. You’re an a**hole.
@plumdumplings: That’s so cool and very helpful thanks a lot. I’m still desperately looking for the Muse and Linkin Park fonts though.

You might have better luck getting this answered if you break it up into 50 separate questions and include a link to each logo so people can see what you are asking about.
Meanwhile, here is one site that has mostly faux versions of famous fonts. They have a music section and it may have some of the stuff you are looking for http://famousfonts.smackbomb.com/music.php
