My experience dancing for Rihanna at the Super Bowl... | TAPED

[@easylivingwithniecy4317]

The dancers were incredible!

[@yesic7196]

Dancers are amazing. Incredible work ethic.

[@a.c.ewarrior5101]

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!

[@Mr-C-Codes]

I was trying to figure out the message… it seemed like a whole bunch of white blood cells trying to protect a red blood cell…not to mention they seemed like they were wearing hazmat suits.

[@beautifulheart5670]

Gf guys bol.

[@taylor11111]

She was just on at the very end

[@kimbronson3520]

The dancer's MADE that performance AMAZING!! Thank you all for being the support that Rhianna needed. Being pregnant prevented her from really dancing like she could have, so the dancer's had to go harder and precise. You all showed up and out and the audience appreciated all the hard work you guy's put in. I hope this opens door's for ALL of you that are pursuing a career. Better yet, I think that Rhianna should feature all of you in her Fenty campaign's as a THANK YOU!!

[@natinamack5123]

I like what you said!

[@paulallen2919]

I legit only watched it because of the dancers. It was so unique

[@smilessmiles3062]

I feel like I should be saying "Thank you for your service"... lol Y'all killed it!!!!!

[@taylord7261]

Lmfao I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought that omg 🤣

[@reedmayhew18]

Seriously!!!

[@briannadaylon90]

Lol 😅

[@shirlenealleyne6442]

Yes!!!!they were so amazing ❤

[@tahreesuh]

I'm glad that they looked after the dancers and made sure they were fed and hydrated. There are so many stories of event organizers not treating their employees properly and providing bare necessities so it's great to hear that the people at this event did not experience that.

[@kaelahmoore3717]

The fact she has dancers of all body types and race 😍😍 I love it!

[@patricijabukvic1394]

she's just normal? you americans are so irritating ahhahaha

[@Buttsceatcgee]

Isn’t that Parris’ thing? She usually has diversed dancers in her choreography.

[@LuluTheDoglover]

@@Buttsceatcgee I mean everyone can do it

[@zalroj92]

I love how this superbowl, the dancers are getting all the credit. All the singers each year, want the attention on them and only themselves so the dancers get overlooked. But rihanna is such a kind heart, she wanted to give all the spotlight to the dancers ❤❤❤ this is why I love rihanna

[@yesic7196]

Love her ❤️❤️

[@adrianaa.4226]

I think its because she was pregnant and wouldnt be able to carry the show on her own dancing.

[@0dznutz]

​@@adrianaa.4226 Wow you're a genius 🙏🏿

[@strodey123]

Or cos her show was crap, mainly due to her being pregnant and not being able to dance, dancers were great for the added energy.

[@zalroj92]

​@@strodey123 it was the best show to me. Because I know all of her songs and I can sing along to all of them. The 2nd place performance to me is katy perry. I love her and know all her songs too but i just love rihanna more. I don't know everyone else's(Shakira, last years performers, the weekend, etc) songs like that so that's why I can't see rihannas show being bad. It was perfect to me.

[@rhonda5056]

The dancers were really amazing and made a significant contribution to the performance.

[@brookegamble313]

I find it so strange that the dancers didn't get to meet Rhianna. If I were putting on this HUGE performance, I would want to know who I'm creating it with. Im sure Rhianna wanted to meet them but the fact that she literally was dancing with strangers is insane to think about.

[@miles24yo]

tbh that's pretty common. the field dancers are "extra" compared to the stage ones. The stage dancers had 3 months to prepare vs 2 weeks.

[@JLawrencium]

Probably to keep the news of her pregnancy a secret

[@keithk2879]

Bitch it’s Rihanna, she ain’t got time for selfies with a bunch of field extras.

[@j-rodthelibrarykid1166]

she said they rehearsed only twice with her so they probably didn't even have time

[@PinkyakaAyannaj]

I hate when my perception of people is shattered. RIRI used to be my favorite. Not anymore. Who doesn't meet and chill with the very people helping you look relevant? It just makes me sad that artists don't appreciate those who help them appear to be bigger than life to the public 🥺

[@yasminx16]

The dancers were INCREDIBLE! This young lady should be so proud of her performance- I can’t believe they only rehearsed for two weeks! And I love that they were local

[@lisastrange6754]

All that practice and rehearsals paid off! You all were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G and the choreography was S.U.P.E.R. left me SPEECHLESS! GREAT JOB! Thank you!

[@traceycamille]

She can tell a story! Her voice and face are angelic! Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥💗

[@ram6264]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think 2 weeks of rehearsals for the field dancers is enough. It was the last bit of the show and only around 3 minutes between “All of the Lights” and “Umbrella”. I’m so proud of everyone they did an amazing job. Definitely a memorable show.

[@dominiquelopez1053]

More than enough. I've learned dances in a matter of hrs for auditions and last minute gigs.

[@TheHitchkick]

@@dominiquelopez1053 So have I BUT this had to be perfect, it is a highlight of the year! ALL OVER THE WORLD!! So I really think 2 weeks isn´t too much considering all the formations and transitions. Parris probably had to see if what she imagined in her head actually was possible to do on the field.

[@dominiquelopez1053]

@@TheHitchkick Depends on the rehearsal schedule for those 2 weeks. They may have had all day rehearsals M-F for 2 weeks which is sufficient

[@TheHitchkick]

@@dominiquelopez1053 yeah ok 👍🏼

[@LEM19284]

Is this shade or what is that part of your comment’s value actually?

[@andre1987eph]

My favorite part was at the beginning of "All of The Lights" when all the dancers had their arms outstretched and all jogging towards center of field. It was just SO adorable! to see and feel their spirit and all their different personalities. I watched that song 20 times, and I'm an NFL fan. 😃

[@sonorapromotionsful]

You go girl! Keep up the good work May this the beginning of many more achievements to come!

[@faithblack3851]

Your performance was artistic, precise...and beautiful lines. The fact that some were locals. So amazing...and plus we knew that costume was heavy. Amazing job.

[@fabteengh4615]

I'm so happy you had an amazing time. May this open more dance opportunities for you.

[@bishoptruth8182]

Thank you posting this video of this beautiful, young dancer. I always wanted to hear from their perspective. This show was simply AMAZING!

[@dawncumberbatch7062]

Your performance was so awesome. Kudos to you and the other dancers.

[@herfirstmate]

Love that she's showing you don't have to be a specific size or look to dance amazingly!

[@Just2gofoods]

The joy on the this dancer and all the dancers’ faces = delightful 😊

[@TheBeautyAround]

Thank you for those beautiful words at the end. I have a teen daughter and I feel words coming from young people like you could be of great help to the crisis we are currently living with our teens. I highly recommend you use your experience and your sweetness to spread the message of self-esteem by giving your personal experience. Specially to girls who walk around being absolutely stunning, smart and special yet thinking of themselves as not being good enough. Thank you and big hug!!!

[@kimwitherspoon8145]

The dancers were on point with the performance. To not have had that much Time to practice together , You'll were a team for sure. I know R,R WAS SO PROUD OF YOU ALL !!!!! Keep following your dreams. You just don't know when it becomes Your job! and it doesn't even feel like a job because you Love it so much . GOD bless.

[@southside-hornbaby5325]

Congratulations, I’m happy for you to experience this, I loved the field dancer too, y’all killed it. Keep up❤️

[@dwightalcoriza323]

so basically, the ones up the stage and on those elevating platforms are The Royal Family Dance Crew and the rest especially those on the field are extras who auditioned and got in

[@jessicafowden]

There's a handful of dancers on the platforms not part of the royal family.

[@simone6179]

Y’all did soooo good! I LOVED the dancers! Y’all killed it! 🔥👏🏾

[@theresatoomer5578]

The dancers were 🔥🔥. Period! One of the most popular dance challenges to date!

[@nannenotofficial2909]

As someone else said, the dancers did the performance. I love Rihanna, I understand her, she is preggo. I loved the Super bowls show. You guys did amazing!!!

[@cherokeenative8354]

You killed it girl. It do not matter you killed it girl. That is living proof you can do. It again!!! Love you girl❤

[@Seroxm13]

The dancers carried this show! Since Rihanna couldn't do much while pregnant. They all did great! Loved the dancing.

[@dominiquelopez1053]

Not true that you can't do much while you're pregnant. I danced until the very end of my pregnancies. Obviously with some modifications and caution but never stopped dancing. Maybe Rhianna is having some difficulty in her pregnancy? No way you could pay me enough money to stand on that crazy floaty thing though. That's just me though.

[@quinncreel6091]

@@dominiquelopez1053 I guess you're one of those people who likes to contradict others, cuz it makes you feel special. Professional-level dancing can't really be done while pregnant. It's uncomfortable for the mum and risky for the baby.

[@Seroxm13]

@@dominiquelopez1053 I never said pregnant women can't do much. I said Rihanna couldn't do much because of it. Which is why her show was just standing on stage with little dancing the whole time. Go watch Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Madonna Super Bowl shows. They put on a real show! I don't blame Rihanna, she did what she could. It wasn't a bad show. I bet if she wasn't pregnant, she would have done an epic show like the other 4 I mentioned.

People are not getting how hard it is for a pregnant person to do all those moves they expected her to do! Very selfish thinking! Anyway the dancers were phenomenal and Rih performance was impeccable due to her pregnancy! I’d never get on a stage up in the air! Everyone was fantastic

[@Churros1616]

People do get it, I just think that people think she should have postponed her Super Bowl to 2024 when she was not pregnant. And have someone else do 2023. I don’t agree with them, but that is what people mean.

[@TheLovesnowangel]

Thank you dancers for being responsible, staying true to your commitment, having energy and ACTUALLY performing.

[@mexiaznann]

In hindsight, I wonder if Rihanna held back from meeting all the dancers to keep her pregnancy private. Most likely only a very small handful of people knew

[@rozchristopherson648]

The dancers said that during rehearsals, Rihanna kept her jumpsuit zipped up in the front, so they did not know until after the Super Bowl when it was revealed later that Rihanna is pregnant again.

[@shanicesandrelli7699]

This is not uncommon for big one time events like this. I did the pan American games ceremony and we didn’t meet anyone until basically the day of. Our rehearsals were scheduled at different times. We were also separate from the other cultural groups performing until two days before the show

[@dubbadekken]

The stage dancers did get to meet Rihanna. I’ve seen some of the photos they posted with her on their instagram pages

[@aeonflux-mu9mt]

yes, but not the field dancers. there were too many dancers.

[@stressmuffin]

I’m sure that all of the dancers were all thinking, “Yeah! We have to wear these heavy ass thick suits. But hey! Anything to dance with RiRi at the Super Bowl!”. BTW… that’s beautiful that Rihanna hired dancers of different skin colors, sizes and cultural backgrounds. Usually, lots of music stars hire traditional skinny, sexy female or hunky beefy male dancers in their performances. Rihanna’s choreographers don’t care what the dancers look like. All they care is if the dancers can handle the choreography and perform well together. IMO, Rihanna’s Half time performance is in the top 3 best Super Bowl half time shows. Not only did she shine, but also her dancers (& Rihanna’s face powder she put on her face) shined “bright like a diamond” too!

[@shayvidatv]

I absolutely love her sweet energetic positive attitude. Absolutely amazing young lady🙌🏽💃🏽

Rihanna DID DONE THAT and the backup dancers was so androgynous it was EVERYTHING

[@VashtiPerry]

Right, I loved that ❤❤❤

[@hamadaamghar8066]

I think that the dancers who are with her in the theater are those closest to her, because all their movements are with her, even with the mic at the time of the dance, those who appear with her in every concert she does are with her. It is just an opinion.

[@inma5665]

Honestly i wish those outfits were different, because you couldn't really see the faces of the dancers, they were practically dancing incognito with those full coverage outfits and glasses, it really brings more humanity when you could see their identity and they can see themselves on screen rather than in anonymity.
