Ciara’s new music video for ‘Work’, featuring Missy Elliot, puts the artists on the job at an oil rig in the middle of the desert.

The video features Ciara alongside her back-up dancers drilling through the desert, hoping to hit a gold mine.

Ciara’s music video would be incomplete without her signature dance moves, and ‘Work’ definitely delivers as she and her back-up dancers show off their new moves in sexy and stylish outfits.

Check out the video above so Ciara and Missy Elliot can teach you how to work.
