Beyonce and the Tofo Tofo Boys
Ever heard the sayingIt’s better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.No better place to say this than this instance that happened by mere chance. The odds are mind-boggling. Beyonce saw a video on YouTube of boys dancing in Mozambique.
ADVERTISING
Beyonce saw a video on YouTube of this dance group from Mozambique called Tofo Tofo Boys, she thought their dance was just right for her new video. She asked choreographers to learn the dance and teach others, but no one seemed to master it well.
They tried and failed until Beyonce decided to get the guys to come over and teach her dancers their now famous dance. There was a problem though, no one knew how to contact them. Eventually after 4 months the group was found. The rest is history the guys helped and featured on the video for the song. (Who run the world, GIRLS).
