Back in September, we shared [a video](http://time.com/3449711/anaconda-dance-by-11-year-old/) of 11-year-old dancer Taylor Hatala absolutely crushing a routine to Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda.” Now, Hatala is back with a new video — and this time she’s dancing to Beyonce’s classic “Run the World (Girls).”

Hatala is joined by 14-year-old Larsen Thompson, who she [refers to](http://www.nylon.com/articles/two-twin-girls-dance-to-beyonces-run-the-world-girls) as her “fraternal twin.” They’re not biologically related, but after watching them dance together, you’ll see that they’re seriously in sync with each other.

In May, Hatala and Thompson starred in an equally impressive [dance video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player%5Fembedded&v=K5AUTiRbRkI) set to Big Sean’s “IDFWU.” Stay tuned for their next video, which we’re sure will be just as awesome.
