If it's the video by Mrs. Bob Fosse, then yes.

ahh... "spanish breakfast"

yes, very much so. beyonce has a history of taking old verdon/fosse choreagraphy and putting a modern spin on it.

witness "sweet charity" (role origniated by verdon onstage and choreagraphed by fosse, who did the movie starring shirley maclaine) and then beyonce's "get me bodied"

even beyonse's look is the same

Beyonce would've been a big hit if she got into a broadway show.

I love what her choreographers do for her videos, a lil nod to the old with a touch of the new nod

...except I do wish she'd take a break from the coochie poppin' for a minute lol
