Who Run the World of Dance Talent : Beyonce - Tofo Tofo Boys and the Dancing Girls
Loading...
Uploaded by idamawatu on May 26, 2011
It was very intriguing to hear that Beyonce was seeking to hire authentic African dancing girls for her next video "Run the World (Girls)." And the best place to shop for dance moves is of course, YouTube. Apparently, Beyonce got inspired by a dance trio from Mozambique, the Tofo Tofo Boys, after seeing their video clip on YouTube. How did the three young men feel after they got a message that the United States Embassy in Mozambique is hunting them all the way to their remote village, thanks to YouTube and Beyonce?
This quest took about 2 months before they were tracked down and flown to the USA to shoot the video alongside many other African dancers. We have always known that our dancing moves are awesome. Hence, it is a great pleasure to have them validated by Beyonce and her choreographer Frank Gatson. We also know that many do not have the resources to hook up with US Embassies in Africa or fly the dancers to your respective countries. That's why this YouTube channel is here to bring them to you, so that you can also encounter the magical experience that moved Beyonce to include the "Dancing Girls" moves popularized by Werrason in her video.
Please watch and enjoy.

Most of these really don't look too similar... I think if we examined all dancing we would see similarities.

When the Africans girls do the moves, it looks FLUID, sumptuous and highly sexy.
When Beyonce and her skinny friends try the moves- they look rigid and forced!
Thumb Up if you support this.

We are Africa. As members of the diaspora, everything we do can be traced in some way or fashion back to the continent. While I applaud her acknowledge the power of African traditions through dance and music, she and her management need to do a better job at reinforcing her African-ness through her imagery and being.
