Step 2: Practice your high kicks

Practice high kicks until you can do them smoothly – and in stiletto heels.

How To Dance Like Beyonce: Swing your hips

Step 3: Swing your hips

Shake your hips fast and furiously, as if you’re trying to shove someone aside with your hip bone; put your whole leg into the motion. Alternate between having your hands on your hips and stretched in the air as you gyrate.

Slap your thighs or bottom occasionally as you’re moving your hips.

How To Dance Like Beyonce: Do pelvic thrusts

Step 4: Do pelvic thrusts

Work in some pelvic thrusts. Do them back and forth and in a circular motion, feet spread wide. Practice until you can do them keeping your back straight as you lower your body to the floor. Bonus points if you can end the thrusts with your body lowered all the way to the ground and one leg extended straight out to the side – without falling down!

Step 5: Walk the walk

Walk the walk: Skip and tap dance around in a circle as you move your arms to the beat – punch them out in front of you, wave them back and forth above your head, shake your finger at your imaginary audience.

How To Dance Like Beyonce: Shake your head

Step 6: Shake your head

Incorporate some head and shoulder moves: Alternate raising your shoulders as you move your head and neck side to side, keeping your face looking forward.

How To Dance Like Beyonce: Make it your own

Step 7: Make it your own

Now put it all together, adding your own special moves.

Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video was inspired by a 1969 dance performance on The Ed Sullivan Show called “Mexican Breakfast.”
