Nia Dennis goes viral with Beyonce floor routine
A year after Katelyn Ohashi took the internet by storm, Nia Dennis has gone viral with another must-watch floor routine.
The UCLA Gymnastics junior earned a 9.975 for her Beyonce-themed floor routine against Utah last Sunday, which just so happened to also be her 21st birthday.
The original video, shared by the Pac-12 Network on Twitter, has over 2.5 million views.
Honestly, you’d be crazy not to be in love with this piece of art!
Dennis’ routine features a front handspring through to a front layout stepout, into a double back; a front handspring through to front full, front layout combo; and a Rudi into a split jump.
The routine itself is eye-catching, difficult, and filled with great choreography that fits Dennis’ personality. It’s even more impressive when you realize she’s been competing with a torn labrum (shoulder).
Stars like Alicia Keys, Gabrielle Union, and even Destiny’s Child’s Michelle Williams have retweeted the video, shouting out Dennis for her incredible performance. She really is a star!
