No matter how big or small, everyone likes surprises to a certain extent. So, it’s probably safe to say the Alvin Ailey dancers were ecstatic when then learned of the major surprise they’d be receiving when Tina Knowles came to visit. Apparently, she didn’t arrive alone. Beyonce also tagged along!

The Best Unexpected Guest:

According to Billboard, the two arrived at Alvin Ailey Dance Theater in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, Mar. 12. Tina Knowles took to Instagram to share videos of the dancers’ reaction when Beyonce walked in. Needless to say, they were all quite shocked.

Tina’s Angels:

Although Beyonce’s appearance at the Alvin Ailey theater may come as a surprise to fans, Tina’s visit was not. For those who don’t know, she and her husband, Richard Lawson, are the owners of a non-profit mentorship group called Tiny’s Angels. The non-profit organization is one Tina owns in conjunction with her husband’s philanthropic venture, WACO Theater Center.

Beyonce’s latest appearance follows the highly publicized cancellation of her Coachella performance. Since the Lemonade singer is pregnant, she’s kept a relatively low profile and it looks like she has lots of time to spend with family these days. Last week, Beyonce also stepped out with Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy for the premiere of Beauty and the Beast. But, this week, Beyonce decided to spread some love to the fans! Kudos to Tina Knowles and Queen Bey!
