He Still Hasn’t Put a Ring On It, So the Beyonce Dance Continues
April 22nd, 2009 by Evil BeetIn London’s Piccaddilly Circus this week, 100 woman flash-mobbed the square to “celebrate” (read: “promote”) London’s free Beyonce concert in November, sponsored by Trident. Yeah, that’s right, the gum. The packets of gum all have barcodes on them, and a limited number of the barcodes grant you access to the Beyonce show. So it’s kind of like Willy Wonka except with considerably fewer Oompa Loompas but probably a lot more aerial work. (I’m gonna go ahead and call the chocolate ratio a tie.)
I feel like I’ve watched people do this dance on YouTube clips with such regularity that I might just spring up out of bed one night and start doing it, nailing all the moves perfectly. I’ve never studied dance, but I’m pretty sure I could at least test into some masters-level courses in tap and ballet with the sheer amount of exposure I’ve had to the Single Ladies dance. You think I’m kidding? Once when I was 13, Juilliard offered me a full scholarship to their dance program when they saw me do the Achy Breaky Heart dance at a Bat Mitzvah. (I politely declined; I knew another young woman was waiting in the wings to build an ill-deserved career on Billy Ray Cyrus’s name. You’re welcome, Miley.)
Thanks Anthony!

No worries!
I’m just bummed I wasn’t there…. pretty good single ladies in leotards to guy ratio for us single guys. :D Ha ha.
P.S. Are you sure it was your dancing abilities, or were you sporting a femullet? :D J/k!
OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!
this was stupid. ITs like they wanted it to be like improv everywhere with the girls just coming together randomly but I think people would have noticed a bunch of women with bare legs in trench coats. would have been funny if this was just a bunch of average guys
Mad props to these ladies. It would have been ch-ch-chilly!
its actually really sunny and hot in London atm :)
Yay for the nice weather! Long may it last!
Really? Ah London, I lived there 20 years ago (Kiwi OE) and loved it! Bawled my eyes out when I left.
For an ethnically diverse town like London, there sure were a lot of white girls in that group. I think I counted maybe 1 or 2 black chicks mixed up in there somewhere. Regardless, Justin Timberlake’s version from SNL was still better and almost as funny to watch.
They would have contracted women from one of the dance studios, i reckon, and diverse though london is, there are still far more white women than black/asian that go to those.
