Janet Jackson got up close and personal with some of her dancers at a recent performance on her latest tour.
The 57-year-old was in Allentown, Pennsylvania for one of her performances when the on-stage dancing got a reaction from the crowd.
Footage of the gig showed Jackson performing her Together Again tour with backup dancer, Mariusz Maniek Kotarski.

He was seated and she was stood behind him and she put her hands on the side of his head and moved it around in time with hers.
She then strode around the dancer, while he stayed in his seat looking like a bored man waiting for a bus, moved back round behind him, tilted his chin up and then moved her hands down his body.
Jackson's hand continued plunging further downwards and, as her fingers glided over the contours of Kotarski's body, they appeared to go over the his crotch.

This prompted some members of the audience to shout 'woo' - which is pretty much what you want the audience to do when you're performing.
Fortunately, the hand on the crotch all seemed to be part of the act as there were no sudden protests or looks of surprise from Kotarski.
Indeed, it seems as though this dance move was his cue to rouse himself from his seat and actually stand up for a bit.
This time it was his turn to stand behind Jackson as he shadowed her movements before another dancer stepped onto the stage and stole his seat.

As well as proving the maxim 'move your feet, lose your seat', this new dancer had Jackson standing in front of him and, as part of the choreography, placed his hands on the back of her legs and caressed them slowly in an upwards direction.
Meanhwile, Kotarski circled around the chair in the background, presumably as part of the act or perhaps just because he was annoyed that he'd been stood up for about 10 seconds and someone had nabbed his chair.
Jackson has enjoyed a long and successful career in music, though in 2004 she fell foul of a wardrobe malfunction caused by Justin Timberlake.

During the Superbowl halftime show, Timberlake pulled away part of her outfit and exposed her right breast on stage, with the event being watched by around 140 million people.
Years later ,Timberlake apologised to Jackson in a statement where he also said sorry to ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.
