The dance industry responded with a commercial, studio-based version of hip-hop—sometimes called "new style"—and a hip-hop influenced style of jazz dance called "jazz-funk".

Commercial ‘dance’ is a strong and sexy dance style involving elements mainly of street and Jazz. Commercial dance refers to the type of dance done by dancers who are hired for fashion and catwalk, artist tours, advertising campaigns, corporate events, TV and film, exhibitions, music videos, and product launches.

Commercial dance is a continuously developing style, which means dancers need to keep training themselves in order to be sellable.

However, in order to be sellable, dancers have to think about image a lot and sometimes have to behave in a provocative and sexual manner. This causes concern for the upcoming generation, dictating how they should dress and present themselves. 

Futhermore, a typical females attire for class may be leggings, tight fitted trousers, a crop top, shorts or bralet, either showing alot of skin, or clothes tight fitting to the figure. 

A male may wear shorts, a low v-neck top, short sleeved tops, showing off their chest, biceps and physique.
