She knows exactly how to create showstopping moments with her tantalising dance routines. 

And Beyoncé is no doubt pulling out all the stops for her Coachella appearance, with 100 back-up dancers set to descend upon the Californian desert on April 13.

According to TMZ, only a dozen back-up dancers were scheduled to perform alongside the Formation hitmaker, 36, but the decision to increase the dancers ten-fold only occurred within the last week.

Sources told the site the superstar has shifted her rehearsals to a much larger studio, while her stage at the festival will be decked out to the nines with fantastic lights and visuals.

Having cancelled her first headline gig at the popular music event in 2017 after announcing she was expecting twins Rumi and Sir, the Crazy In Love songstress is going all out for her performance this year.

Beyonce is reportedly making sure to keep everything under wraps by making all the dancers sign non-disclosure agreements.

It's not the first time Beyoncé has ensured a large backing crew to ramp up  her performances, with an extraordinary amount of Black Panter-inspired dancers behind her as she took over the 2016 Super Bowl Half-Time Show.

Not only has she increased her dancer numbers, but the singer has also upped her studio time ahead of a long-awaited performance at the Music and Arts Festival.

In anticipation of the show, TMZ also claimed she has booked 11-hour choreography sessions at a Los Angeles dance studio for herself, her backing dancers and assorted members of her team.

As many as seven security guards have also been employed to ensure no-one enters the studio while she earnestly prepares.  

The singer previously announced that she will be tackling a plant-based diet in preparation for the concert extravaganza.

Taking to Instagram in March, Beyoncé shared a snap of herself looking trim and fit in dancer formation with the caption: '44 days until Coachella!! Vegan Time!!' 

The songstress shared a series of snaps announcing her plans for getting healthy before the big event.

She was seen rehearsing with a group of background dancers as she linked arms and leaned back in red Ivy Park gear.

Another shot revealed avocado toast with mint and red jalapeno which follows the guidelines of the 'vegan' way of eating.

Her latest snap shared was a photo of the Queen Bey with her back to the camera allowing her trim waist to take center stage.

Fans of the pop powerhouse will recognize this isn't her first foray in the the world of eating 'clean' and animal-product free.

In 2013, she and husband Jay-Z excelled at a limited program of the restrictive diet.

'They loved it,' Marco Borges, Beyonce’s trainer and creator of the 22-Day Revolution meal challenge, told People.

'They were getting people saying, "Your skin has this glow." And who doesn’t like being told they look awesome?' Borges said.

'Beyoncé showed up to the Grammys [in 2014] and everyone’s jaws were on the floor,' he added.
