Who choreographed Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” music video?

JaQuel Knight choreographed Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” music video.

The video was directed by Jake Nava and filmed in black and white. It features Beyoncé, dancer Ebony Williams, and dancer Ashley Everett performing a tightly synchronized routine in a largely empty studio. The choreography emphasizes sharp arm movements, quick footwork, and a distinctive ring-related gesture.

JaQuel Knight created the choreography with Beyoncé and Frank Gatson Jr. The routine drew attention because its clean, repeatable movements were easy for audiences to recognize and imitate. It soon became closely associated with the song and its accompanying dance culture.

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was released in 2008 as a single from Beyoncé’s album I Am... Sasha Fierce. The song won three Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year, while the video won Best Video at the MTV Video Music Awards.
