When you think back to the most iconic moments of the VMAs, most of them are tied to amazing dance performances . There was Britney swiveling her hips with a snake in 2001 , Madonna rolling on the floor in 1984 , and Beyoncé showing off her ring finger in 2009. They're the numbers that make you wish you'd stuck with that hip hop class back in sixth grade.But even if your pop-and-lock skills leave much to be desired, you can still learn the moves your favorite VMA artists showed off on the MTV stage, or in their nominated videos. With a combination of choreographer tutorials and even rundowns of the steps from the singers themselves, you can turn your apartment into a dance studio. Let these YouTube videos take you on a journey from VMA viewer to someone who could totally step up in a pinch if all the backup dancers got food poisoning. A fog machine will enhance your living room theatrics, but it's not required.
