Gymnast Nia Dennis is making sure black culture is put in the gymnastics limelight. She wowed the world with an incredible Beyonce-themed floor routine last year and she just did it again! See Missy Elliot’s reaction, her bomb routine and more inside…
UCLA gymnast Nia Dennis has done it again!
The college senior is going viral again for her “Black Excellence” floor routine that featured tracks by Missy Elliott, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, Soulja Boy, Tupac, Monica, Dem Franchise Boyz & Megan Thee Stallion.
"This routine definitely reflects everything that I am today as a woman and of course I had to incorporate a lot of parts of my culture," Nia told The Los Angeles Daily News.
The FAB gymnast slayed with an epic performance and scored a 9.95 out of 10 – nearly perfect. Nia and the Bruins brought home the victory over Arizona State, 196.150 to 195.950 to open the season 1-0 on Saturday.
