This little girl knows the "Single Ladies" dance better than I do→[More:]My obsession with this song/dance will never end.

To determine if this little girl does indeed know the dance better than TPS, I think we need video of TPS's version.

I wish there were an instructional video for this.

There was a time when aspiring little dancers spent their time in the dance studio, studying their moves in the mirror. This girl is studying the image on the TV. I wonder if she's flipped the action, or is seeing the TV as a mirror.

I sincerely hopes that she saves some version of this and is able to watch it 20 years later and think, "I was a pretty awesome little kid."

That's just too damn cute.

Also, I demand a mashup of her with the Single Ladies Man.

I'm still trying to figure out why Beyoncé has a Terminator hand in that thing.

It's not Beyonce, it's "Sasha Fierce", her (apparantly bionic) alter ego.

I can't believe some of the YT comments saying that her parents are negligent for making her do an "erotic" dance. Like the girl even knows what that is. When I was that age I was obsessed with Olivia Newton-John (in her Let's Get Physical/Xanadu phase). A little later on I was dancing to the "Flashdance" soundtrack.

(I'm pretty glad no one videotaped it, though.)

So, he liked it and put a ring on it (like he shoulda), sakura?

That little girl is pretty good. And she's in a leotard implying she takes dance classes. I did notice the beer bottle by the couch, but hey, whatever. No judgement here. What was that post that someone made with the adult dancer recreating her childhood dance that was projected on a large screen behind her? That was cool.
