Beyonce 'Run the World'
Beyonce's video inspired by african tribes actually recruited two members from a dance group in africa to star in her video. Choreographer Frank Gatson told MTV News that the video was intended to reflect several genres of dance moves:
"We prepared a lot for it. We had seen something on YouTube; we had seen these three guys from Africa, this Mozambique African dance troupe [...] we were like, 'Wow, this is an amazing movement.' And that movement has always been in the back of our head for the last year. From there, we talked about a lot of concepts. [..] We say, 'Share the light, you sparkle brighter,' and we share our light with a lot of new, creative people. I feel like we really nailed it and, again, my hats off to the Tofo Tofo guys [from Africa], because none of us could imitate that. We had to bring them around to learn that [move], which is really, really interesting. They had such a great vocabulary of movement. That was probably one of the most beautiful experiences for Beyoncé. They were so humbled. It was hard finding them. They were really in a remote area; we had to get the embassy people involved. That was a process that took about two months or more."
