Kaling said in the video that she has watched Queen B's Coachella documentary the first night it came out and has since rewinded it to find her favorite moves from all 26 dance numbers.

The actress and self-proclaimed \"crazy Beyonce fan\" then pulled off everything from a fierce runway strut to shoulder rolls to side kicks and butterfly knees sets to Beyonce's hit live version of the song \"Formation.\"

By the end Kaling said even her imitation was exhausting. But, give her time to get in proper formation and she will be ready to back it up for Bey.

\"OK I'm really out of breath and I don't know that I'd be able to do 26 songs. So Beyonce, give me a little time to train, come back to me in a year and I'm your girl.\"

Kaling's post has garnered over 685,000 views as of Friday morning.

This isn't the first time Kaling has channeled the superstar.

Last August, Kaling paid tribute to Mrs. Carter's Vogue cover with side-by-side photos of her white t-shirt and flower crown look.

Kaling certainly seems to be an official member of the Beyhive.
