Well i have said that Caribbean and African dance is put directly into "hip hop" and pop dance. Most of you are doing african and Caribbean dance and dont know it, and dont believe it when WE tell you its so. With this hopefully some of you will see and respect the roots for what they are. ROOTS and not distant ancient roots...DIRECT ROOTS. Keep dancing keep inspired! and if possible find a way to support dancers in Africa, it is not easy for them, but they have given so much to the world of dance, in modern, contemporary, hip hop, house, jazz, swing, rock and more...it is time they get to shine and get the creds for what they have done!

  • Umm you do know that it took 2 months for Beyonce to find 2 of those dudes @0:59, they taught her that choreography and she even put them in her video. They didnt even know who she was when she tried to contact them. Their a dance group called Tofo Tofo.

  • the dances came DIRECTLY From Africa and carribean dance has a major influence of african forms of dancing so the carribean didnt invent anything if it wasnt for african dance carribeans wouldnt be dancing like that & thats a fact ..everything they do has influences from africa,& etc the food,music everything

see all

  • I say big ups to Beyonce and them haters should stop im a zulu and i can dance ispanstula thats what she is doing and for someone who is not from South Africa and is able to do this I give her a round of a plause i salute you sisi (means sister). I'm proud of her. Its good that she is showing the rest of the world what moves SA has. i wish that she would go to Chomie our SA singer and good dancer for more moves they would put the stage on FIRE!!!!

  • Being a Entertainer simply means to entertain. If Beyonce got her dances from there so what. People do it all the time and she acknowledge where she got her dances from. She getting paid and the Two guys dancing got paid to and all the rest of the people dancing..smh Whats so hard about giving props! ugh

  • The dudes dancing in this video are the same guys in her run the world video. She flew them to her and had them teach her the choreography....she gives them full credit.....why do people try to play beyonce!

  • @blackboysports so what is she then?

  • @vspruill no i am from LA and she's not black!
