Israeli choreographer teaches Beyonce new moves
Kobi Rosenfeld, who works with pop star Britney Spears, said to be man behind the bounce in RnB's sensation's new video
Reining pop and RnB star Beyonce is the latest in a long line of US artists to deep into the Israeli talent pool, tapping Israeli choreographer Kobi Rosenfeld to come up with the dance routine featured in her new video Scared of Lonely.
Rosenfeld, who is the assistant to Andrea Fuentes – one of Britney Spears' backup dancers – was tapped to work with Beyonce during the "Carnival," which is a music industry choreography talent contest.
His performance caught the eye of Beyonce's people, who asked him to come up with a presentation suitable for her new release. Once the routine was green-lighted, Rosenfeld went on to teach it to her seven backup dancers.
Rosenfeld was later invited to see the final run-through of his creation, on stage.
As for the possibility of Beyonce gracing the stage at Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park, Rosenfeld told Ynet that "her manager asked me if it was safe to come to Israel and I assured him that if she decides to come, everything will be fine."
