Beyoncé's "Run The World (Girls)" video has been streamed more than 13 million times since its release Wednesday night. A major part of the appeal can be attributed to the wicked choreography in the opening dance sequence.
Beyoncé's movements are in perfect sync with the song's metronome-precise rapid-fire beat. The choreography is drill team styled. The footwork switches up every few seconds, incorporating truncated bouts of stomping, hopping, and skipping gestures.
