It runs in the family. Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter, 7-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, recently took center stage while at her dance recital at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy and pretty much blew everyone's mind away. In a video clip that came out on Sunday, little Blue Ivy was seen doing her routine to her mother's track 'Before I Let Go'.

At one point in the video, the group of performers was seen busting some serious freestyle moves with Blue right in the center. She finished off her routine with an effortless and impressive split. 



 

According to TMZ, Blue performed around three times during the show.

Apart from impressing everyone with her deft moves at her dance academy, Blue is also becoming a pro at attending social and cultural events with her famous parents.

She recently accompanied 37-year-old Beyonce and 49-year-old Jay Z to the Wearable Art Gala at the WACO Theater Center in Los Angeles.

The theme for this year's event was 'A Journey to the Pride Lands' and since Beyonce's next musical project is the highly anticipated live action movie, 'Lion King', the entire family was seen in clothes inspired by the same.

Beyonce's mother, 65-year-old Tina Knowles, was also present along with her husband Richard Lawson. Former girl band Destiny's Child members 38-year-old Kelly Rowland and 38-year-old Michelle Williams were also present.

The 'Single Ladies' hitmaker gave her first interview in years while attending the event and spoke to OWN. "It's exciting because it's one of the only red carpets that I do with my family. My daughter gets to dress up and my husband, and this year, it’s Lion King which, obviously I play Nala. So, it’s the first time I’m doing any appearance as a person that stars in The Lion King, which is something that I grew up watching," Beyonce shared.

"I’m so excited for my kids to see it, but it means even more to share this experience and this culture of The Lion King with my mother and my family," she added. 

Many even compared Blue Ivy to Beyonce when Queen Bey took to social media to share side by side pictures showing mother and daughter looking very similar at age 7. Beyonce captioned the post, "Someone made this comparison of me at age 7 and Blue at age 7. My baby is growing up."
