Who wouldn’t want to dance withJennifer Lopez?
The performer, 50, appeared onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy FallonTuesday night and showed off her moves in “The History of Music Video Dancing” segment with hostJimmy Fallon.
Lopez and Fallon — who both wore matching joggers, black tops and flannels tied around their waists — started their shimmy down memory lane with MC Hammer’s iconic hit “U Can’t Touch This.”
They then jumped into hits like New Kids on the Block’s “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” and ‘NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” before venturing into some newer music videos, includingCamila CabelloandShawn Mendes‘ steamy “Señorita.”
For some of the songs, they even brought out props, putting on the recognizable blonde wig fromSia’s “Chandelier” video. The duo later brought out bouncy wrecking balls forMiley Cyrus‘ “Wrecking Ball.”
To wrap up their dance sequence, they harmoniously ended the segment on Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.”

While on the show, Lopez also talked to Fallon, 44, about her upcoming movieHustlers,which has garneredoverwhelmingly positive reviews and Oscar nomination buzzfor Lopez’s performance in the film.
Despite the resumé of dance moves she showed off in their segment, Lopez revealed that before the movie she did not know how to pole dance.
“I didn’t know how to pole dance, it’s like acrobats, it’s like learning gymnastics but with a pole,” she explained on the show. “It was super hard.”
So hard, in fact, that she phoned a famous friend to help her learn.
“I calledCardi B, Cardi is in the movie as well,” Lopez said. “I was like ‘You have to be in this movie, you know this world, teach us.’ But as I’m learning how to pole dance and I said, ‘It is really hard,’ and she goes, ‘Oh yeah, it took me years, years to master, but now I’m great at it.’ ”
InHustlers, Lopez stars as Ramona, the star at a popular and successful strip club who aims to get the upper hand on her Wall Street clients with the help of her crew.
The film also featuresConstance Wu,Julia Stiles,Lizzo,Cardi B,Lili ReinhartandKeke Palmer.
