I was thinking Usher too, that guy has some moves. Sisqo also seems to be able to groove as well.

Probably Shakira. I understand that she is actually well-respected by many SERIOUS (and real) belly-dancers.

And if anyone disagrees with Madonna check out her Drowned World DVD. Great, energetic performance.

Well, Invincible is less than a year old. It's not like he completely disappeared from making music ala Paual Abdul, who only recently surfaced on American Idol.

To be perfectly honest, the only thing (besides the best production values mucho $$$ can buy) that was superstar quality about Justin Timberlake's performance were his dance moves.

And I have to disagree with people still dropping the default answer of Michael or Janet Jackson as "best dancer ever." People - Michael is 44 years old. Did you see his pathetic herky-jerky improv at last year's VMA's? He's lost the crispness to his "flow" and he relies on the same three signature moves over and over - (1) roll the fedora down his outstretched arm, (2) flare the heels, go up on his toes, grab his crotch, front snap kick, then go "hoooo!", and (3) the moonwalk.

Sister Janet's physical skills peaked with her Cirque du Soleil-inspired performance from "The Velvet Rope" album of a few VMA's ago. Nowadays her dance moves seem to have regressed to "Rhythm Nation" era standard popping and locking. Of course, no one's looking at her arms or legs anymore. They're all very much hypnotized by her positively inhuman abs (and perky saline-sacks). But nevertheless . . .
