#MotivationMonday: Watch the Syncopated Ladies Get in "Formation"
Pretty much anything Chloé Arnold and her Syncopated Ladies get their hands/taps on is bound to be fantastic. But the crew seems to have a special affinity for Beyoncé—as confirmed back in the day by Queen B herself (remember the Share Heard ‘Round the World?), and as confirmed once again yesterday by the group’s latest video, “Formation.”
The Ladies’ take on Beyoncé’s internet-melting hit doesn’t involve much in the way of fancy production values. That’s not the point. Instead, we get two delicious minutes of unflinchingly bold, ingeniously musical tap choreography that just dares us to look away. It’s the perfect showcase for the unique voices of the dancers—Chloé and Maud Arnold, Anissa Lee, Assata Madison, Orialis Ashley, Melinda Sullivan and Melissa Tannus—who are, as ever, brilliant.
The best part? At the end of the video, we see clips of women from studios around the world performing the same routine. It’s the Syncopated Ladies’ way of wishing us all a happy Women’s History Month, and it’s exactly what we all need for #MotivationMonday.
