It’s sort of a misleading title, though, as the video features several scenes where the 17-year-old has, in fact, _stopped_ dancing. The video opens with her standing on a porch, hair blowing in the wind, not dancing. Around the one-minute mark, Becky G and acquaintances are in a club, but they’re sitting at a table, not dancing. Around the two-minute mark, she stops dancing again to reapply her makeup in the mirror. A little bit before the three-minute mark, the camera cuts to Becky sitting in a chair, probably taking a well-deserved breather after all that dancing, but, again, not actually dancing. Later, she’s seen seated on the floor, zoning out with her headphones. Definitely not dancing. Conclusion: Becky G can pull some [hairography](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hairography "undefined") to rival Britney, but she can, in fact, stop dancing. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3615957/becky-g-cant-stop-dancing/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3615957/becky-g-cant-stop-dancing/"},"headline":"Can Becky G Actually Stop Dancing?
