Harry Styles ‘Dance No More’ Video Draws Backlash
Harry Styles has sparked divided reaction online after releasing the music video for his song “Dance No More”, with criticism focusing on the choreography and the clip’s sexualised staging. The new video arrives as the singer continues the rollout of his fourth studio album, “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally”, released in March.
PopRant reported that the May 7 video had passed 1.9 million views shortly after release, but drew backlash on X over “weird” choreography, including crotch-thrusting and a moment in which Styles is shown licking a microphone.
The article describes a disco-themed performance set in a warehouse and nightclub setting, with Styles in shorts enticing a seated audience to join him on the dance floor. It also says the video was directed by Mr Colin Solal Cardo and framed as part of the performer-audience dynamic that could translate into the concept for Styles’ live shows.
Online critics, as cited in the piece, accused the singer of “queerbaiting”, while others defended the visuals as consistent with the album’s disco-era aesthetic. The reaction also follows other recent coverage of Styles’ catalogue, including when his track “Sign of the Times” landed on a movie songs chart.
Styles has not publicly responded to the complaints highlighted in the report, and the music video continues to attract both support and criticism as fans debate its creative direction.
