Beyoncé surprised a group of New York City students earlier this week by joining them in a choreographed dance routine as part of an anti-obesity campaign.

On Tuesday, 85 children from PS 161 Pedro Albizu Campos Middle School took part in a live simulcast for First Lady Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move! Flash Workout' youth fitness national event.

Mid-way through a dance routine set to a reworked version of the Beyoncé track 'Get Me Bodied', the children were joined by the singer herself.

Wearing a white shirt with the words 'Let's Move' printed on the front, the singer laughed and joked with the students throughout the workout.

After the kids completed their dance number, Beyoncé took time to greet her fans as they gathered around her.

The 'Let's Move!' campaign was founded by the First Lady last February in an attempt to prevent an increase in childhood obesity.
