The star took to Instagram to ask anybody with information on the whereabouts of Shirlene Quigley to get in touch with police.
She wrote: “This beautiful soul, and former dancer of mine is MISSING!!!
“My heart aches thinking of how heavy this is on all who love her! If anyone has seen or has any information on @shirlenequigley‘s whereabouts ….. PLEASE CONTACT the North Bergen Police Department 201 392 2100 !!!!”
Alongside the touching post she shared a video of the 32-year-old dancer talking about how we should treat everybody we meet like they are family.
“Imagine if we treated each other like we all really came from the same family,” she says in the clip.
“I know people probably think I’m crazy because I’m always telling everyone ‘I love you! I love you!’
“Because the minute that I meet somebody I do love them because I know in my heart and in my spirit that that’s my brother and my sister, that’s my neighbor.”
Shirlene, who has performed with Beyoncé and Missy Elliott – as well as Rihanna – was last seen getting on a bus at the Port Authority Terminal in New York City at 1am on Sunday.
Rapper Missy Elliott also posted a plea for the dancer’s safe return.

“Need help from the whole Dance Community to spread the word! Those who have met her know her spirit is always bubbly and kind & uplifting energy! Sending countless prayers.”
