Syncopated Ladies, based out of Los Angeles, has blown up in the dance world over the past few years. Chloe Arnold established the group – which is officially known as Chloe Arnold’s Syncopated Ladies – and also choreographs all of their tap routines. Maud Arnold, Chloe’s sister, dances alongside Chloe and has the title of producer of the group.
What makes their routines unique is Chloe has found a way to fuse tap and hip-hop in a fresh and entertaining way. The group performs its routines with such precision, it’s hard to take your eyes off of them even for a second!
The group was featured on season 11 of So You Think You Can Dance. In episode seven, they performed to “Flawless” by Beyoncé.

Their tap piece to Beyoncé’s “Formation” was another viral hit! Beyoncé herself shared the performance across her social media platforms – gaining over 6 million views online. Soon after, SL’s concerts began selling out. It probably didn’t hurt that Beyoncé also put the group on the homepage of her website. Talent recognizes talent!

They also cover other artists like Fetty Wap, Rihanna and Ciara. The Syncopated Ladies do regular boot camps. During one, they brought together a diverse group of women of all ages to tap to – yes, you guessed it – Beyoncé’s “Run The World”. The end result is still inspiring two years later!

Their most recent hit is a cover of Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella – ahem, Beychella – performance to “Everybody Mad” by O.T. Genasis. Chloe uploaded the video on June 3, and it’s already gained over 13,000 views!

This group is fierce and unlike any tap group we’ve ever seen before! You can watch more of SL’s incredible performances and learn about the ladies at their website.
If you need us, we’ll be binge-watching more SL covers! Keep up the great work ladies!
