Beyoncé: Shakira taught me to belly dance

Singers made up their own raunchy routines

Beyoncé Knowles was taught how to belly dance by Shakira.

The 25-year-old star, who teamed up with Shakira to record new track Beautiful Liar, admits the Colombian singer created most of their raunchy routine.

'Shakira taught me how to belly dance, she taught me the whole routine,' she tells People magazine.

'I used to watch her videos and I thought she was so cool. When she was teaching me the moves I thought, "This is crazy, Shakira is showing me how to belly dance!"

'I got the best teacher. We didn't have a lot of time to come up with the choreography - most of it was done on the spot. I was just watching her and learning from her. It was so much fun, the best energy.'
