Dance Videos Trend Downward As Shorts Take Over Genre
While still garnering billions of views per year, dance videos have declined in recent years – at least on YouTube.
Data from Tubular Labs shared exclusively with Digiday reveals that dance video views on YouTube declined by 31.4% from 2022 to 2024, from 20.4 billion to 14.0 billion.
In that time, YouTube Shorts also took over the dance genre – videos under one minute in length went from 47% of dance video views in 2022 to a staggering 86% in 2024.
