[People reports](http://people.com/music/beyonce-rollerskating-rink-video-instagram/) Queen Bey, who gave [birth to twins](http://time.com/4800213/beyonce-kids-born-internet-reactions/) less than two months ago, took over the rink for some good old-fashioned skating fun with her extensive entourage on Friday; it was even shut down for their exclusive use some time after midnight. But not before the [_Lemonade_](http://time.com/money/4667426/from-obituaries-to-beyonce-how-americans-fell-in-love-with-lemonade/) legend spent some time gliding around with the rest of the crowd, and was spotted by fans enjoying the disco environment — and even, reportedly, doing the splits, proving that her noteworthy dancing skills do helpfully transfer over to skating prowess. She even shared a video compilation of her spin on the rink. As for JAY-Z? While there isn’t video of the rapper taking to the rink himself, Beyoncé did go ahead and share a number of Instagrams of the two from recent days, including another date night at an L.A. sushi restaurant where each of them enjoyed a pleasant glass of red wine. From [chilling on boats](http://time.com/4433052/beyonce-jay-z-tina-knowles/) to enjoying sports games, going to [boutique workout classes](http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/beyonce-and-jay-z-share-a-kiss-before-soulcycle-workout-w494904), and throwing wild themed parties, Bey and Jay continue to provide excellent examples of date nights to emulate. Just maybe don’t try that rollerskating-splits thing without practice first. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4889669/beyonce-jay-z-rollerskate/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4889669/beyonce-jay-z-rollerskate/"},"headline":"You Could Totally Afford Beyoncé and JAY-Z's Rollerskating Date Night","datePublished":"2017-08-07T15:56:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:12.133Z","description":"Rollerskating is about to have its moment in vogue thanks to Beyoncé's latest excursion to the rink with her husband and friends.","url":"https://time.com/4889669/beyonce-jay-z-rollerskate/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Beyonce"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8cabfa662369f9c7/6988d8ae196cf490020415a6/beyonce-jayz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8cabfa662369f9c7/6988d8ae196cf490020415a6/beyonce-jayz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Utah Jazz v LA Clippers - Game Seven","caption":"Utah Jazz v LA Clippers - Game Seven","creditText":"Andrew D.
