Beyoncé is gearing up for her second Coachella performance this weekend, and dancer Jo’Artis Mijo Ratti shared some details about how it will differ from the first.
Ratti, who has previously worked with the likes of Madonna and Kelly Rowland, sat down with Variety to explain what it’s like working with Bey.
"Yeah, we’re switching up a couple things, so there could still be a wow factor," the dancer admitted.
On working with Beyoncé, Ratti says the team of dancers are the best he’s ever worked with in his career.
“She kills the moves just as hard as the best girl that’s doing the choreography,” Ratti said. “It makes everybody in the production as a whole want to step their game up.
“You can always tell when someone is prepared,” he added. “We did like 10-to-14 hour days. That was very similar to the Madonna situation and really coming to work fully prepared to dance. Some jobs you might chill — craft services, read a book, hop on your phone — for a couple hours, but not while we were there [with Beyonce]. We were getting put to use with ideas, fitting, wardrobe, video blocking. It could be really overwhelming, but luckily, it wasn’t my first rodeo.”
Beyoncé's second Coachella set will take place on Saturday, although this weekend’s performance will not be live-streamed like the first.
