Les Twins’ Larry Just Launched a Security Guard Into Next Week During Akon’s Amsterdam Show, Then Dropped to His Knees in Horror
Moves so killer, even the security needs security.
Les Twins’ Larry accidentally kicked a security guard during Akon’s Amsterdam show at Ziggo Dome, and the internet can’t get enough of it. The moment, captured by a fan on TikTok, shows Larry mid-move when his leg connects with the guard’s head, sending her stumbling. Shocked, he goes almost comically still for a few seconds before dropping to his knees in horror. He checks to ensure she is ok and plants a quick kiss on her hand as an apology before jumping back into the performance.
The guard, visibly shaken but equally resilient, brushed it off and kept doing her job. Meanwhile, Akon never missed a beat, continuing to sing his 2005 hit Soul Survivor.
Larry and Laurent Bourgeois, the dance duo from Sarcelles, have built a reputation for gravity-defying movement that leaves audiences in awe. They’ve toured with some of the biggest names in music, including Beyoncé and Jason Derulo, and their work with Akon on his Nights Like This tour is no exception. Larry’s signature move resulting in an accidental kick was a rare misstep for the twins, known to execute their freestyles with surgical precision.
If you’ve ever seen Les Twins perform, you know their dancing is on another level
The incident has sparked a wave of jokes online. Commenters couldn’t resist pointing out the irony of Akon singing the line “keep on movin’ now” while Larry’s spin sent the guard reeling. Others praised the guard’s professionalism, noting how unfazed she seemed despite the impact.
Some even joked that her expression after Larry’s kiss suggested she was not impressed and just wanted her bad work day to end. The clip racked up thousands of views and reshares, with fans weighing in on everything from the guard’s quick recovery to Larry’s apology.
This isn’t the first time Les Twins have made headlines for their onstage reactions
During Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, Laurent stepped in to shield Beyoncé from a potential wardrobe malfunction in Hamburg. In a move that looked almost rehearsed, he twirled in front of her, adjusted her outfit, and then dropped into a split — all while making it seem like part of the choreography.
Fans were impressed by how seamlessly he handled the situation, and the moment only reinforced the twins’ reputation for being quick on their feet, both literally and figuratively. During another show in California, the twins sprang into action when a fan threw an object onstage while Beyoncé was singing Drunk In Love.
The two, who have been with Beyoncé since her 2013 Mrs. Carter Show tour, stormed toward the fan, with one yanking the item off the stage and briefly confronting the person. Fans online were all praises for their protective instincts. Beyoncé has often called them “my first twins,” a nickname that highlights their close bond with the superstar.
Les Twins’ career is a masterclass in versatility
Apart from dance, they have forayed into music, movies, modeling, and much more. Their wide-ranging experience and ability to adapt in high-pressure situations are part of what makes them so respected in the industry.
In a recent interview, Larry and Laurent talked about their relentless drive to push their choreography further. “We never try to do better than before; we always do,” Larry said. Laurent added that even without the fame or money, dance would still be their lifestyle. “Touring, seeing new faces, and doing what we’re doing is a great experience. We want to bring joy and inspire the world.”
The Amsterdam incident is a reminder that even the most skilled performers can have off moments. But what stands out is how Larry handled it. His immediate reaction – dropping to check on the guard and apologizing – shows the same professionalism and care that’s defined his and his twin’s career. It is a testament to their expertise that even when things go wrong, they handle it with grace.
The guard’s resilience, too, is worth noting. She took a hit that would’ve knocked most people off their feet, yet she bounced back immediately and kept working. It’s the kind of moment that humanizes live performances, where things don’t always go as planned but the show must go on.
The internet’s reaction has been a mix of humor and admiration
Some fans couldn’t stop laughing at the timing of Akon’s song, while others praised Larry for his thoughtful response. The guard’s no-nonsense attitude also won her some fans, with commenters joking that she looked like she’d had enough of the night’s chaos.
If you’re a fan of live performances, this clip is a must-watch. It’s a reminder that even the most polished shows can have unscripted moments, and sometimes those are the ones that stick with you the most.
Larry’s reaction, the guard’s resilience, and Akon’s unwavering performance all come together to create a moment that’s equal parts hilarious and impressive. And if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work behind the scenes at a concert, this video gives you a glimpse – complete with the chaos, the quick thinking, and the sheer unpredictability of live entertainment.
