BTS: Rihanna Sharpens Her Dance Moves For "Where Have You Been" Video

Apr 19 | by Natasha

Rihanna decided to sharpen her dancing skills and do actual rehearsed choreography for her upcoming "Where Have You Been" video. So she posted video of a behind the scenes look at her and her dancers at rehearsals with choreographer Hi-Hat...

For her new dance single off Talk That Talk, "Where Have You Been," Rihanna said she wouldn't do the video justice if she didn't do real rehearsed choreographed dance moves for once. In part 1 of the Making of The Video, the Battleship star is "dancing by just living her emotions."

Check out the island chick making her way into the dance department above. You feelin' it?

PS: Ri is going to be making her third appearance on "Saturday Night Live" May 5th, and was recently named as one of TIME Magazine's Most Influential People.

There is a saying like this

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not"。If you really love her /him, race, color or age. ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is a banker .We met via ___Blackwhiteplanet,,C0'M____, a nice place for women and men who have much money, Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is in your group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.

shes challenging herself and

shes challenging herself and I can respect that. the fact that she shared the behind the scenes is so refreshing. she doesn't keep her flaws hidden. she's fearless and she's not afraid to be human. I'm not even a Rihanna fan, I'm just commenting on what I see.

"She is not out here claiming

"She is not out here claiming she can sing" how mothasuccin stupid does that sound?!!! She gets paid to be a singer! No she can't sing but her deaf ass fans love looking at her (which is wearing off cause she really is starting to resemble a llama!) She can't sing live nor dance at all but she can't stick a microphone up her crotch forever eventually even her tone deaf fans will want more. Beyonce... hell even Madonna have not a damn thing to worry about! LMAO

Everyone that doesn't like

Everyone that doesn't like Rihanna or happens to mention Beyonce is not nesseacarily a fan. I don't stan, period. She is talent-less point blank. Besides, we may not have to endure her much longer.... little Miss Lohan II, had better watch out! She's not a U.S. citizen and this is an election year...dumb ass bird. Can you spell...Deportation? haha

Check your facts before you

Check your facts before you think, write or speak. Rihanna is a Permanent Resident - a non-citizen who has been granted permission to legally reside in the United States, hence her ability to purchase a home...or two. Her "status" is of no difference from many of your next-door neighbors.

You can Actually become a us

You can Actually become a us citizen, I dont know if you knew that. which Im sure She probably already has, If not Im sure she has a visa since she does travel out of the us a lot. just in case you didnt know but then again maybe the rest of the Beyawnce Fans need to go back and get their g.e.d Like she is adult education classes are always open go head and check that out.

ummm, this is REHEARSAL

ummm, this is REHEARSAL people, why would she dance all hard now? Now if it still looks like this in the video that's 1 thing, but it's obvious she's learning the moves and practicing. I can't wait to see her get it in - it's about time! She's from the islands, she's GOT to have some rhythm!

She needs to put a little

She needs to put a little more effort into it. Thats how she dances in concert lackluster. Janet Jackson would never be caught dead dancing like this. Rihanna we need you to go hard or go home.

I guess you dont know What

I guess you dont know What REHEARSAL. If She is learning the moves (just like Janet Did at one point in time) Im sure she is going to move a little slow and try to pick up she will be flawless in the video besides her footwork at the grammies and on tour in still pretty impressive

Let me see you dance...ill

Let me see you dance...ill wait for you to post your video! lol is she a powerhouse singer? hell no is she a ENTERTAINER? hell yes there is a difference -the thing people fail to realize is Ri stays in her lane-she is not out here claiming she can sing (or hymn lol) circles around the best...she is doing what she does-entertaining! She is not "talentless" - she may not have the best talent-but clearly she has something thats selling out shows and keeping her bank account way above all of ours...so i will not hate on this girl lol
