Beyonce "Run This World" (Girls) Video

Beyonce is back after over a year off from the music scene.  Her new video “Run This World (Girls)” from her new album “4” according to Huffpost Entertainment “she hasn’t missed a beat”.  Her video was an African eccentric video, the video released on June 28th, with 56,006,120 hits already. 

African dancers inspired Beyonce, from Mozambican Kwaito dance group called Tofo Tofo who choreographed her video “Run This World”.  MTV ‘s Jocelyn Vena wrote in an article that Beyonce longtime Choreographer Frank Gaston Jr. said, "We prepared a lot for it. We had seen something on YouTube; we had seen these three guys from Africa, this Mozambique African dance troupe ... we were like, 'Wow, this is an amazing movement,'’ [...] and that movement has always been in the back of our head for the last year. From there, we talked about a lot of concepts.” The group brought it all together.

 The video had 245 women in it, and it was set in a desert where the men were trying to takeover their headquarters, the women showed the men who "Run This World".  The choreography was amazing, and having the African dance group, gave her video something new and different than her usual.  Like Jacelyn Vena articles says’, Beyonce Nailed it!  Two thumbs up “B”.
