It’s also the easiest way to find the dances - click on the sound used in the video. The word “sound” can be used to describe a song, a clip from a TV show, any audible component. Instead of passing around photos or jpeg formats, the sounds get used over and over. If those words mean nothing to you, take a deep breath, get into something comfy, and check out the ten dances below, ranked from easiest to borderline impossible.Ī quick note on the medium: Audio is central to TikTok. But I am a big fan of endorphins, so I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and learned many whole TikTok dances including Renegade, Cannibal, Say So, Hit Every Beat, Hey Boy, and Rule the World. I’m not a great dancer my experience is limited to a high-school production of Grease. The dances were inescapable on my feed, but until recently, I hadn’t tried them. Even Hailey and Justin Bieber are doing them. It’s like the macarena, or Soulja Boy, but harder and made for your viewing pleasure. The pros - in this case, teen or 20-something dancers - make up choreography, and sometimes it catches on, inspiring other people to upload their own versions. Just as the currency of early Instagram was photos of latte art, the currency of TikTok right now is 15 to 30 second dances. It’s time for you to learn some TikTok dances.
