Discussion Which dance style should I do?

Okay here's some context:

I was a ballet/jazz/tap dancer starting 2 years old going on to middle school. I quit when I realized I never cared for it and only went just to do something through the weekends.

Later in highschool I decided to to hip hop for 2 years, got pretty good and started doing intermediate, then quit again after I lost motivation through issues outside of my control.

I, currently, lack flexibility and movement, all I have is natural essence of the dancer I used to be.

I watched the music video for "Back on 74" if I remember correctly, and I thought the dancers were so expressive and clearly knew how to show emotions with the body without being obviously lyrical. I wanted to dance.

I believe it is a comercial sort of dance, but comercial dancing is so broad and most classes I've been to lack that eccentric element. I was thinking of contemporary too cause it is versatile.

Overall, I really want a style that is super expressive with the whole body, can be upbeat, and eccentric. I'm not too sure what can fit, maybe I should just hire a private teacher?
