The original run of six Sunday classes at San Francisco’s Levy Studio, taught by Dyon Lain, sold out within hours. Johnstone and Les Twins have since parted ways, but Johnstone’s involvement in the dance community clearly hasn’t slowed. Though Bey politely turned down a picture with Johnstone because she was in top-secret-at-the-time costume, it’s an experience Johnstone remembers fondly. “Beyoncé had a bounty for $10,000 to find them." Johnstone soon booked Les Twin’s career-making “Run the World (Girls)” music video and, while fulfilling her managerial duties on set, was introduced to Queen B herself.

Les Twins dubbed Johnstone their “de facto manager” and, in between turning down Russians, Johnstone found out Les Twins were wanted men. A friend of mine in New York and I created Les Twin Online and within weeks, started getting offers from everyone from Russian dance classes to Rihanna.” “I asked if they had a website and they told me about their Facebook page.so I offered to make them a proper fan site. After some internet sleuthing, Johnstone discovered Les Twin were coming to San Francisco and she could be several feet away from them, “for like, five bucks.”What started out as innocent fangirling (asking for a picture with them) turned out to be a life changing business deal. In 2010, a friend turned her onto Les Twin, a hip-hop dance duo from France, who were gaining popularity in the dance community. Here, she met fellow co-founders of BAFM, who together went on to build a following of 2000+ members through word-of-mouth and social media. Johnstone’s career connected with dance five years ago, when she joined the Thrill the World flash mob to learn Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" choreography. I take her word for it, not only because Johnstone has met Queen B herself, but because I’ve stubbed my toe attempting it myself. The way she drops it the floor with her leg popped out: it’s not easy,” Carol Johnstone tells me over the phone from her home in Marin. “I want to help women feel sexy and empowered like Beyoncé and, it’s a good workout.

She sent out a press release to Eventbrite and 7x7, to gauge interest and hopefully gain 30-ish RSVPs for the class.
