Video: Beyonce Surprises Middle School Dance Group

By Kelly Fisher Posted May 5th 2011 08:19AM

Last week, not many teens could say they've danced side-by-side with Beyonce. Now, thanks to the pop star's surprise visit to a Harlem middle school on Tuesday, a group of girls have a memory to last a lifetime.

A dance group at Harlem's PS 161 Pedro Albizu Campos Middle School was performing a routine to Beyonce's 'Move Your Body/Get Me Bodied' Monday afternoon. When singer herself joined the group mid-dance, the surprised girls squealed with delight, but didn't miss a beat.

According beverage company WAT-AHH, Beyonce's surprise visit is part of a partnership with WAH-TAHH and NAB Education Foundation for the 'Let's Move! Flash Workout' event dedicated to fighting childhood obesity.

Watch Beyonce surprise the dance group and join the routine (around the 1:30 mark).

Though I am not a fan of Beyonce's- I have to give credit where it's due. Well done!

I wish more stars would be so giving of their time and make it count like Beyonce. I'm crying as this is the type of good deed that warms my heart knowing those kids have a memory of a lifetime!
Thank you BEYONCE and may more "divas" like you take similar action in giving a thrill and hope to kids!

To actually have the person who sung the song to dance w/ the kids is amazing. Those kids will never forget that, and I'm pretty sure that made their ENTIRE school year. Good job kids and B! :)

Best video of impromptu JOY, ever! This is how life could be, and it's often just a choice away, after opening our hearts to the possibility.

Its amazing how little a person of fame has to do to put a smile on childrens faces. I for one love Beyonce and give her a lot of credit for involving herself in this program. Its a shame that others dont follow in her ways of thinking. Who knows how many kids she inspired from that one small visit.

Famous people carry that kind of weight that they can change a life. Take a few minutes out of your rich and famous time and involve yourself. I know this is a generalization because there are others that do get involved but look how much fun it can be. Our kids are the future. If we don't help guide them in the right direction now...then God help them in this dragging down society of bullies and hate.

those kids have something amazing tell thier children, how awesome! more singers should do that.

Good for her getting involved in the First Lady's fitness programs. Fitness and nutrition can make a huge difference with disadvantaged kid's ability to learn and to feel better about themselves. Not to mention the obvious overall health benefits. Good for Beyonce, and good for Ms. Obama.
