Though it doesn’t seem like it about 90 percent of the time, it turns out that yes, Beyoncé is in fact just like us — and we now have video evidence of this fact.
In a video posted by none other than the Queen’s mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, herself, Beyoncé and Jay-Z can be seen doing the electric slide at a kid’s birthday (possibly a friend of Blue Ivy’s?) and it is EVERYTHING. The video has (for some reason) since been deleted from Tina’s Instagram — but not before others managed to get ahold of this gem and make sure other Beyoncé fans knew it existed.

I love so many things about this video, I’m not sure I can pick just one. The way Bey somehow manages to dance ~flawlessly~ in four inch-plus stilettos? How Jay-Z gets super into it by tossing his hands in the air? The fact that we can now see where Beyoncé inherited her dance skills, at least according to the way Tina kills it on the dance floor? It’s all great.
Regardless, this video is the early Christmas present I never knew I needed, and I’m very grateful to whoever preserved it permanently. #Blessed.
