During an interview with Nylon magazine, the Orange Is the New Black actress was given three “situations” to dance her way through.  

The first was a high school dance recital, so Cox gave us fine ballet. The second scenario: picking someone up from the club. So she shook her tail feather. 

For the finale, she gave us “her best Beyoncé.” Cox has Queen Bee’s signature moves down pat, not to mention the hair and the fierce attitude. Check out her performance below:
