"Dance for You" is a sensual number in which Beyoncé sexifies her vocals over echoing drum patterns and a lap-dance theme. Its clip is a detective style noir shot in black and white with lots of dancing around and on chairs with moves you'll recognize from club girls whose feet hurt and need to sit but just can't stop grooving. Filmed over the course of four nights at New York City's historic Roseland Ballroom, the video features the mom-to-be's road to success. If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that Beyoncé loves to dance for you, and the new "Dance for You" video is no exception.
It's a rainy night as Beyoncé enters her film-noir-style "Dance For You" video. Outside, a siren wails like a tired baby. And like any femme fatale in those old flicks, Beyoncé's nothing but trouble from the minute she walks through the door. Starring as a screen siren in distress, Beyoncé opens the steamy clip with a visit to a man's office in homage to what appears to be classic detective or private investigator shows. Beyoncé's got something to show him. Not clues, not evidence. She's there to show how very much she appreciates him (as the lyrics), by giving him an extended private dance.
As Beyoncé videos go, "Dance For You" doesn't compare to the spectacle of say, the "Run The World (Girls)" clip, but it is effective. Under a single light in his office, she shows off her sexy moves in front of the man she sets her eyes on. It's a mostly private dance until all those other ladies show up. Beyoncé unveils a line-up of backup all-female dancers, with an additional string section. At the end, the detective looks somewhere between completely unimpressed and totally satisfied. What about you?
