Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé Surprises Harlem Students with Dance Workout

It was an otherwise uneventful Tuesday at P.S. 161 middle school in Harlem when Beyoncé stormed through the door and surprised students by teaching them the moves from her “Move Your Body” video. As part of the “Let’s Move! Flash Workout” campaign to help curb childhood obesity, the blonde superstar appeared in the gym much to the delight of her young fans, who danced alongside her and took photos.

While Bey was in Harlem, First Lady Michelle Obama was in Washington, D.C., learning how to do The Dougie, Running Man, and Cha Cha with students. She only had good things to say about the “Run the World” singer and their partnership to promote exercise.

“Beyoncé is one of my favorite performers on the planet. And when she agreed to remake her video and do this ‘Let’s Move’ flash workout, I was so excited, because this is what we’ve been talking about—that exercise and moving can be fun,” said Mrs. Obama. “It’s about dancing, it’s about moving.”

Watch Beyoncé and the First Lady get down in the videos below.

I still stand by my comments on the video about the conspiracy…are curves and thickness chopped liver now? Those who were previously proud of them are losing ‘em now.

Just remember = “living healthier” is just a nice-sounding word for selling out.

Shoutout to all my BEAUTIFUL THICK LADIES who are PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE…y’all are the last of a dying breed.

@Beacon,

having curves and being obese are two seperate things. women naturally carry more weight on their lower half and hips, this gives then a curvaseous figure. Carrying extra weight everywhere is just unhealthy and that is what they are trying to get rid of. On top of that alot of women deemed as curvy are actually very tonned and so, its a reflection of their physical fitness
