Beyoncé's Coachella extravaganza featured former Middletown High student, 20

Four years ago, Brian Glanville was roaming the halls of Middletown High School as a freshman with a big dream of being a professional dancer.

Fast-forward to last weekend and there was 20-year-old Glanville in the center of one of the most talked about festival sets in history as he danced alongside Beyoncé during her jaw-dropping performance at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

That was Glanville, who now performs under the stage name Kebahb, showing off his dancehall skills during "Mine," a song off Beyoncé's self-titled 2013 release featuring Drake.

"The long rehearsals have been so motivational to see Queen Bey's hard work first-hand and the making of a masterpiece," Glanville, who lived in Delaware for 10 years before moving to Los Angeles, said in a statement. "The experience of being part of a phenomenal show has been surreal. Watching the production come together with over 100 dancers was mesmerizing."

And while the ensuing glowing reviews and cultural commentary over her set are still hot — she was the first black female headliner since the festival's 1999 debut — Glanville will do it again Saturday night as Beyoncé returns for the festival's second weekend.

Glanville decided to chase his dream at 16 and his mother was on-board, driving him and his dog in her Jeep Cherokee to Los Angeles over four days. He's been there ever since.

Dancing on stage with Beyoncé in the desert is just part of Glanville's impressive 2018 — and we're not even a full four months into it.

He also had a cameo in February's "Black Panther" music video for the song "All the Stars" featuring Kendrick Lamar and SZA, both of whom will perform at Firefly Music Festival in Dover this summer. Glanville also appeared on January's "Lip Sync Battle"  tribute to Michael Jackson.

He also toured with singer Keyisha Cole last fall, appearing on everything from the Soul Train Music Awards to "The Wendy Williams Show."

Beyoncé's hurricane-force spectacular, which featured about 100 dancers, left fans at Coachella (and those at home watching the YouTube live stream) in awe of the former Destiny's Child member.

But the same could be said of the music critics who absorbed her two-hour show and showered Beyoncé with almost nothing but praise.

If her show was on Rotten Tomatoes, it would be certified 100 percent fresh.

Mikeal Wood, pop critic for the Los Angeles Times, put it this way: "Look, there's really no other way to say it: Beyoncé's headlining performance Saturday night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was one of the most impressive things I've seen in 20 years of professional show-going."

For his part, New York Times pop music critic Jon Caramanica led with an equally bold proclamation: "Let’s just cut to the chase: There’s not likely to be a more meaningful, absorbing, forceful and radical performance by an American musician this year, or any year soon, than Beyoncé’s headlining set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday night."

The YouTube live stream was only for Coachella's first weekend, however. This weekend's Beyoncé set, which will once again feature Glanville's smooth steps, will not be streamed.
