Rihanna is Preparing Serious Footwork For “Where Have You Been” Music Video

The Bajan ‘beauty’ RiRi has never been known as a dancer, but she’s ready to step her game up for her upcoming Where Have You Been video. In an almost three-minute-long behind-the-scenes montage clip that popped up at YouTube, she takes her Navy to the dance studio, where she’s seen practicing moves for the upcoming clip alongside a crew of dancers. Donning ehearsal attire and simple sneaks, Ri turns to the camera at one point to admit that a dance routine was necessary for the hard dance track’s video, saying:

I was never going to shoot this video if I couldn’t do choreography, ’cause it would be pretty pointless. It would be disappointing.”

Rihanna shows off some dance moves while rehearsing the choreograph for her upcoming music video Where Have You Been.

Choreographer Hi-Hat, who worked with Rihanna videos Rude Boy and If It’s Lovin That You Want, helped keep Rihanna’s moves in line with her comfort and style, while still showing off the most choreography we’ve ever seen her do.

Rihanna also revealed that dedicating time to performance skills for videos is rare. She said:

My schedule has always been so busy, it never really allowed for us to spend time rehearsing and making up dance moves”.

Last week, Rihanna took to her Facebook to tease a black-and-white shot from the video, where she’s seen exposing her midriff. No word on when the video will be released, but with a recently announced musical guest gig on Saturday Night Live, Where Have You Been is likely to be one of the singer’s performance sets on the May 5 show. This will mark her third appearance on the late-night sketch comedy show, which will be hosted by New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
