Bontle Modiselle is arguably the leading South African choreographer to the stars. The one-half of ZAlebs couple and music duo, Rick James, with husband Priddy Ugly affirmed the fact in 2022 when she snatched the Guinness Book of Records when it was reported that:
Choreographer, dance judge, and TV personality Bontle Modiselle makes the Guinness World Record. Modiselle, who owns a dancing studio that is in her name, joins some of the Mzansi Guinness World Record holders for the year 2022.

"We’re Official Guinness World Record Holders for: The Largest Amapiano Dance, Choreographed by yours truly, performed Synchronised at the same time. Achieved on @stumbosa Record Breakers. Wow," wrote Bontle Modiselle.
The record came just days after the ZAlebs had hosted American superstar and Destiny’s Child alumni Kelly Rowland at the Bontle Modiselle Studios. An interaction which had such an impact, it saw Kelly Rowland seemingly invite the choreographer to the US for Grammy Week.

Taking to Instagram earlier in the week ahead of the Grammys, the one-third of the popular Modiselle Sisters shared a cheeky post stating that she cannot wait to see Kelly Rowland during her week in the US ahead of the Grammys.
As such, it seemed to suggest that Bontle was invited to celebrate the festivities hosted throughout the week ahead of the Grammys by Kelly Rowland. While she did not share much about the events of her trip, she did finally share herself attending the exclusive and much sought-after Roc Nation Brunch hosted by Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Following her posting her time at the Roc Nation Brunch and the events that led to her getting there. There was some speculation that the reason that Bontle did not post much during her stay in Los Angeles was that she was also there for work.
Specifically, it is believed that Modiselle might have either worked on the upcoming Beyonce Renaissance visuals which are seven months and counting in the making. Or it is suggested that if Modiselle did not work on the visuals for the upcoming Beyonce visual album, then she might have worked on choreography for the musician.
This is believable considering that it was rumoured that Beyonce is set to announce the rest of the Club Renaissance World Tour dates towards the end of the year. It is believed that the announcement will include four African tour stops. As such, it is believed that at least two of those African tour dates will include two South African cities, which are most probably Johannesburg and Cape Town.
As such, it would not come as a surprise if Beyonce roped in Modiselle to help her in coming up with choreography for some of the tracks from The Gift album, which was the official soundtrack for the Lion King live-action film that was released back in 2019. However, as this announcement is months away, there is still time to speculate if this is the real reason Modiselle was flown to the US.
