Usher's Male Backup Dancers

In Usher's performances he uses his backup dancers to emphasize his presence. Although they (Usher and his male backup dancers) all have a similar dance routine, he differentiates himself by wearing a more prominent color and is at the front of the group. The reason for his background dancers is to put on a great performance for the paying audience. Usher’s use of his male backup dancers is neutral- there isn’t any amount of sexualization to the dance, or demeaning nature to the male dance role. This is important to note because he uses his male and female backup dancers in different ways.
