Los Osos High School recreates Rihanna's Superbowl performance
Los Osos High School dance team's Usher's Halftime show tribute was not the only performance that made headlines. The team has also recreated Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime routine in April. The dance students performed the stunning routine at their school's recent prom rally.

The dancers also notably flaunted Rihanna's moves and danced along to other tracks from her halftime show's performance including, 'Work' and 'All of the Lights'.
'America's Got Talent' Season 19 will premiere on May 28 at 8 pm ET on NBC. Viewers can stream the new episodes on Peacock next day.
