UPDATE: Watch Kendall Jenner Twerk, Whip and More in New Balmain x H&M Campaign

10/19/2015 at 02:47 PM ET

In the continuing (and ever-exciting) adventures of Balmain x H&M events — there was the surprise fragrance reveal, the runway show itself, the Backstreet Boy reunion —  Kendall Jenner’s arm-dancing is finally and officially here, and it can’t be missed. In the just-released two minute clip, Jenner directs an epic futuristic subway dance troupe faceoff, by doing a lot of fierce pointing and nodding. Sadly, she kept her twerk-abilities confined to the teaser (which you can check out below) but her dramatic walking and watching needs to be seen now.

Kendall Jenner’s catwalk skills > Kendall Jenner’s dancing skills. But the 19-year-old model is proving she can bust a move too in Balmain x H&M’s new promo spot — with some help from Michael Jackson’s music videos and a troupe of trained professionals.

In a first look clip above, obtained by Yahoo! Style, Jenner is seen modeling the collection, described by Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing as “really rich and strong” clothing that’s “putting the couture in the stores.”

The campaign video, shot by Johan Sandberg & Henrik Timonen, creates a sci-fi metro scene reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s “Bad” music video.

Jenner joins a variety of dances (“a great mix of different people from all over the world,” according to Rousteing) as she learns to whip, twerk and even vogues!

“Kendall had a lot of fun,” Rousteing told Yahoo! Style. “It was a new experience for her. We had the best time. It was new for both of us. But more importantly, the campaign has to reflect the Balmain Army and for me, she is the most important. She is an icon. I’m inspired by her. For me she is the new Naomi, Claudia, Cindy. You know the type of models where people want to be her. Finally we go back to top models and are making dream girls. She also has an amazing soul and is so supportive. It is important for me to have my friends around me to support every project that I do. She’s just amazing and inspires an entire generation. I love that she’s global, and loves music, dancing, she’s the Balmain girl.”

The Balmain x H&M launches November 5th, with a runway debut set for Oct. 20 in N.Y.C.. The collection features over 100 pieces with prices ranging form $17.99 (for small accessories like the Balmain beanie) to $649 (for intricately-beaded dresses like the one Gigi Hadid wore to the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party in N.Y.C. last month.)

she didn’t do much except look uncomfortable around people who can dance.

Love Kendall. Loved the dancing, would love to see her do more. Kendall is sweet, not boring, embrace your goodness Kendall and don’t let anyone make you feel unworthy..

Kendall is stunning. She was meant to be a model. Such a beautiful young, smart independent young woman. I’m sure Kris is very proud. Kendall will have a wonderful future.

The camera doesn’t get close enough to Kendall to show her doing much of anything, especially twerking because she can’t.

and dont get me wrong, she is a stunning young woman, but this is not a good representation of her dancing.

Me on

Pretty, yes. Dancer, no.
Icon, ummm, absolutely not.

And are part of the reason Western Civilization is coming to an abrupt end.

I missed the part where she was dancing. She’s quite beautiful, looks great in the clothing. Were we too imagine that what we viewed was dancing or was that too make us look?

PN on

She is very pretty and makes a good model. Unfortunately, the video didn’t show her doing much of anything except walking and standing!

rally on

Kendall should not be a model, she is ugly and has a masculine face.
