It's only been weeks since the shocking announcement that J-Lo was splitting from husband Marc Anthony.
Yet
it seems the Get Right singer has thrown herself back into work with a
positive spirit, celebrating her new-found freedom with a fun video for
her upcoming single Papi.
The
singer has been taking an acrobatic approach to the shoot, crowd
surfing, flipping over mid-air, and riding on the shoulders of various
hunky helpers in downtown Los Angeles.
Flying: Jennifer Lopez had total confidence that the crowd would catch her
Riding high: Jennifer Lopez looked like she was having a blast filming her forthcoming video Papi
Beaming: The singer managed to keep smiling the whole time even in her precarious position
At
one point she did what looked like a hand stand on top of the crowd,
demonstrating a great deal of bravery and putting a lot of faith in
their hands.
And the 42-year-old singer looked years younger as she rode on the shoulders of a gorgeous man.
Wearing
a simple white crop top and shorts combo which showed off her flat
stomach and accentuated her tanned skin, the singer managed to lip-sync
along while maintaining perfect balance and a beaming smile throughout.
At one point Jennifer was even flipped on her side, lying horizontally across the shoulders of yet another handy hunk.
Dismount: J-Lo bravely leapt down with the help of a couple of burly extras- tricky in those heels!
Kicking back: Carefree J-Lo seems to be bouncing back from her recent split with Marc Anthony
And yet more burly helpers were on hand
to help the star dismount- which must have been especially difficult
given her trademark high heels.
So
You Think You Can Dance choreographers Napoleon and Tabitha D'Umo
(otherwise known as Nappytabs) were on hand to help during the shoot.
The
husband and wife team have been credited with developing a new brand of
hip-hop dance coined 'lyrical hip-hop', so no doubt we can expect some
sleek moves from this offering.
Careful! J-Lo was flipped horizontal at one stage, the singer using her arms for balance
Handy hunk: J Lo was lucky to have so many willing burly helpers
Keeping poised: Even in this difficult position, J-Lo maintained her posture
Papi is an upbeat dance number, sure to get crowds moving with the lyrics: 'Put your hands up in the air, Dance for your man if you care.'
Jennifer seemed in a great mood, launching straight into a routine as soon as she dismounted from her various carriers.
Regrouping: Jennifer looked a little flustered back on solid ground, but soon regained her cool
Bust a move: It looked like J-Lo switched immediately to a dance routine once back on the ground
For a moment she looked a little
flustered to be back on solid ground, but she soon regained her cool,
giving the steely J-Lo look familiar from many of her videos.
Other scenes in the video include
shots of the singer walking across the road, standing by a fruit stall
and driving a cream Fiat 500.
Feeling fruity: As well as the vigorous dance
routine Jennifer was also seen standing with a sultry look on her face
next to a fruit stall
Where's the driver? The singer was also seen driving a cream Fiat 500 around the streets in another shot for the new video
The mother-of-two was also seen
spending time between takes with her little brood Emme and Max and the
children looked more than comfortable on set.
And when time allowed the singer also
ensured she was looking her best and topped up on her makeup as well as
ensuring her hair was styled correctly.

Earlier in the day Jennifer was seen relaxing on set in a white bath robe ahead of shooting her moves.
She clearly thought the day had gone well, keeping fans posted on her progress via Twitter: '1st day of my new video #staytuned'
Keeping it real: In between takes the singer
donned a fluffy white bath robe and slippers and ensured her make up and
hair were looking their best before she went back to filming
A
confessed workaholic, J-Lo has also been shooting for her upcoming film
What To Expect When Your're Expecting, an ensemble comedy about the
trials and tribulations of pregnancy starring Cameron Diaz and Glee's
Matthew Morrison.
