'Single Ladies' Choreographer Debuts A Stylish New Dance: 'The Barbie'

Comments (4)

My heart and my mind are in the midst of a fierce battle: to love or loathe the below YouTube video. My mind is in shock, my heart is in love. While they are duking it out, I will share today's news with you. A brand line of Barbie dolls called Fashionistas is set to invade the market.

Besides sporting a fierce wardrobe, Fashionista Barbie sports some fierce dance moves too. She has flexible joints and can bend, twist and turn into one hundred different poses. Literally.



To celebrate this plastic fantastic feat, MTV Music Award nominated choreographer, JaQuel Knight has come on board. Even if the name isn't familiar, his handy work is. Knight is the talent behind Beyonce's 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' music video. In the Barbie Fashionista video above, he's created a brand new dance 'The Barbie' and not only shows us how to do it, but enlists three "real life" Barbie girls to enact it for us. The sound track is none other than 1990's hit 'Barbie Girl.' Commercials featuring the signature dance start airing this fall, and you can buy the dolls for $20 starting in October. Are you buying? More to the point, are you doing "'The Barbie?'
