Oh, you knew it was coming. As soon as Beyoncé dropped the internet-breaking “Formation” video—complete with epic choreo by Dana Foglia, JaQuel Knight and Chris Grant—you could practically hear choreographers around the world dropping everything to work on “Formation” routines of their own. But you probably weren’t expecting those routines to be QUITE as good […]
It’s #BeyDay (Beyoncé, y’all!) and we’re celebrating here at Dance Spirit. First, this. Then, this: You know Chloé Arnold, Her Holiness of tap, has worked with Beyoncé before, right? Maybe it’s because they both have the “é” in their names. (BRB, renaming myself Alisoné, and perhaps I can get the hookup, too.) The video—which has […]
On a scale of one to Beyoncé, 13-year-old Charlize Glass is pretty darn Beyoncé. Watching Charlize dance is like flipping through a series of perfect snapshots—each isolation of her body is that precise and finessed.

Yes, you obvi already knew that. But last night a very pregnant B cemented her divine status when she donned a stunning gilded headdress for an insanely captivating performance, […]
Things got super romantic Saturday night on the Formation tour in St. Louis: Queen Bey helped facilitate an onstage proposal surprise for her dance captain and longtime backup dancer, Ashley Everett. AND IT WAS THE CUTEST. During the song “Single Ladies,” naturally, Beyoncé invited Everett’s boyfriend (and fellow Formation backup dancer) John Silver onstage. She passed […]
Oh, the MTV Video Music Awards. Aka the night we’re gifted with performances by some of music’s hottest names. Aka the night where crazy costumes, fabulous gimmicks and fierce dancing reign supreme. We truly missed you. But…to our surprise, last night’s show was a tad tame, amirite? There weren’t any hosts, no feuding or drama […]
Pretty much anything Chloé Arnold and her Syncopated Ladies get their hands/taps on is bound to be fantastic. But the crew seems to have a special affinity for Beyoncé—as confirmed back in the day by Queen B herself (remember the Share Heard ‘Round the World?), and as confirmed once again yesterday by the group’s latest […]
