Ashley has been a featured dancer with Beyoncé for several years, performing with her in the halftime shows at Super Bowls 47 and 50, and in a number of previous videos, including the powerful “Formation” in 2016.

Dominique also got an Instagram shout-out from Beyoncé, who posted a photo of Dominique seated in front of one of the Louvre’s large-scale paintings. The post received more than 2 million likes.

Ashley and Dominique are currently performing with Beyoncé and Jay-Z in the music power-couple’s “On the Run” tour across Europe and the United States.
