Questions about Monetization?

[OzTalksHw]

My most recent video couldn't be monetized and I have no idea why. I followed all the rules, and any music I took I got permission to use?

Also, I was hoping to use a copyrighted music in my next video, just for a quick..lets say..dance session..LOL

Would that be allowed? It's gonna be for like 5 seconds?

Stay away from copyrighted stuff as much as you can. It can screw your channel over big time.

Is it "allowed" to use copyrighted music in a video that you're not monetizing? I know it's not allowed, but would I get in trouble?
I have one video up now that's monetized (adsense) and I want to do a cover next but I don't want to get copyright strikes. :/
