'They're so tight': Lopez sings praises of Kiwi dancers (+video)

Jennifer Lopez has praised a New Zealand dance group featured in her new music video clip.

Auckland's all-female eight-strong ReQuest hip-hop crew are back-up dancers in the new dance song Goin' In by the singer also known as J-Lo.

"I always have guys with me but I thought it would be so much fun to dance with these girls,'' Lopez said in an interview with MTV.

"They're so tight, they're amazing dancers."

She said working with the group was her favourite part of making the video, which also features rapper Flo Rida.

In May, ReQuest performed on the final episode of American Idol with Lopez who was a judge on the talent show.
