Some scenes, like MJ's Smooth Criminal lean, are timeless.

Omarion, "Touch" - Before Omarion's throbbing heart became an ice box, it was accentuated with the moves in this O single. Shane Sparks choreographed the dance between the B2K graduate and Step Up 2: The Streets star Danielle Polanco.(Photo: Sony Music)
Janet Jackson, "Rhythm Nation" - No color was needed for this black and white military-inspired video from Janet Jackson's fourth studio album because the dance moves — from the finger count down to the standing split — were as crisp as the uniforms.(Photo: A&M Records)
Justin Timberlake and Timbaland "My Love" video
Aaliyah, "Are You That Somebody" - Famed choreographer Fatima Robinson got behind the scenes for this video and managed to work in the energetic Flamenco dance with Aaliyah's laid-back hip hop moves, perfectly complementing Timbaland's production.(Photo: Atlantic Records)'Work It' Out - After losing "a few pounds" in her waist for ya', Missy Elliott delivered one of her most creative videos to date with "Work It." The video not only featured amazing young dancers, it also served as one of the first tributes of many to Aaliyah and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.    (Photo: Elektra Records)
