The New Loud's music video for the single "Don't Dance" is a juxtaposition of unscripted, energetic club dancing intercut with costumed, regimented dance-studio dancing. Director Jack Packard shot on locations throughout Milwaukee, WI including the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center and University of Milwaukee. Packard also shot footage of The Walworth County Cloggers, a young women's dance troupe from rural WI and live band footage was shot at Milwaukee's premiere club for underground touring acts, The Cactus Club, where New Loud leader Shane Olivo once worked doing house sound for touring bands such as The White Stripes, The Faint, Bright Eyes, Zen Guerilla, Moe Tucker of The Velvet Underground and more.
