In what could quite possibly be the best news that you’ll see all day, a video of Beyoncé and JAY-Z doing the electric slide is here to make you smile until your cheeks hurt. It's literally the Christmas present you never knew you needed: Jay and Bey dancing in unison to the Frankie Beverly and Maze R&B classic "Before I Let Go" at a family gathering. You guys have got to see it, it seriously doesn't get much better than this.

The minute-long video, which was apparently posted and later deleted from Instagram by Bey's mother Tina Knowles-Lawson, also reportedly features Knowles-Lawson, her husband Richard Lawson, music video director Melina Matsoukas, and Beyoncé's cousin Angie Beyince on the dance floor, according to Essence.

It's immediately unclear what prompted Bey's momma to delete the heartwarming post. Although, one could speculate that the removal was her children's urging, as it has been well documented that both Beyoncé and her sister Solange aren't too fond of their mother's social media presence. Despite being pulled, fans managed to still get their hands on the video. In the accompanying caption shared by Refinery29, Knowles-Lawson reportedly joked,

"Why at every party even a kid's party do we have to do 10 versions of the Harlem shuffle, electric slide, cupid Shuffle, wobble Shuffle, The Texas shuffle —everything but the kitchen sink Shuffle."

It's a glorious moment, to say the least. The video shows Beyoncé staying on beat in true Queen Bey fashion, while rocking a pair of high heel stiletto boots. Meanwhile, Jay seems to be completely in his bag, throwing his hand in the air every time he turns into the next sequence of steps.

Ms. Tina and her hubby Richard Lawson aren't too shabby with their moves either with Lawson putting some extra jazzy steps into motion. You literally must watch it several times just to take it all in.
