Tina Knowles-Lawson is full of admiration for her granddaughter, Blue Ivy, who has joined her mom Beyoncé as a dancer on tour.

During her attendance at the HollyRod 2023 DesignCare Gala, the proud grandmother spoke exclusively to PEOPLE at The Beehive event venue in Los Angeles. She praised 11-year-old Blue Ivy's dance skills, explaining that dancing is something they learn early in their family.

Knowles-Lawson expressed immense pride in Blue Ivy's hard work and dedication, as she had only one week to prepare for her role on Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour. Being able to hold her own among the seasoned performers on the tour is a remarkable accomplishment for the young dancer.

As a loving grandma, Knowles-Lawson can't help but feel thrilled for Blue Ivy's exciting journey and continuous improvement. She's delighted to see her granddaughter shine on stage and is always supportive of her endeavors.
