7 TikTok Dance Moves You Can Learn At Home
TikTok is filled with short, fun dance routines that you can watch for endless hours (trust me, I've done it), share with friends, and learn at home with STEEZY.
But, let's face it.
If you don't have a dance background, the short, hard to follow tutorials on TikTok can be a frustrating roadblock to joining in on the fun.
Here are simple, easy ways you can learn the 7 most popular moves on TikTok.
1. The CitiRokk
The CitiRokk is that one SUPER POPULAR TikTok dance move where you rock your body from side to side and cross your arms in front of your chest.
Watch this video with the move’s creator, CitiBoyRio, to see how the move took over TikTok!
*BONUS*
While the CitiRokk was popularized on TikTok by the Renegade dance routine, CitiBoyRio just dropped a new routine of his own!

2. The Woah
Just WATCHING people hit the Woah gets me excited.
It's simple, hype, and easy to apply to any song with a dope bass beat.
If you've been lurking on TikTok for any time at all, you've probably already seen it yourself and understand how it's supposed to look.
How you create the reverb motion, where to position your arms, and when to move your body to hit the beat on time is all you need to learn. 👇
3. The Swagg Bouncee
Do your hips naturally sway from side to side when a good song comes on?
Think of the Swagg Bouncee as your natural hip-sway's cooler, trendier sibling.
Lil Rich Swagg, who created the Swagg Bouncee, says to “Stay on your tippy toes to get a full range of motion,” in his STEEZY Studio class.
By committing to the move and making it bigger, you'll look more confident!
4. The Kangsta Wok
In the video below, this TikTok dance move's creator, Zaya Sosho, explains how he based the Kangsta Wok on a "dip" move he saw during a cypher.
When you do the Kangsta Wok, make sure not to over- or under-exert your energy.
Attack each level drop with a little intensity to make the move look extra hype, but don't go so hard that your body tenses up!
You want to make it look effortlessly cool. 😎
Still not totally sure how to make that happen?
Don't worry... Zaya Sosho will teach you in the tutorial below!
Use this guide to help to you practice too!
5. The Smeeze
This move first entered the dance scene in 2009, but at the time, it was mainly used during battles and parties.
When TikTok arrived in 2018, the move's creator, Chonkie, knew this was the perfect platform to bring the Smeeze to the next level.
With hashtags like #SMEEZEEVERYWHERE, and dance crews like the Jabbawockeez picking it up, the Smeeze quickly became a TikTok favorite.
You can learn more about it from Chonkie himself in this video!
While millions of people are, in fact, Smeezin' everywhere, the move can be a little tricky due to the alternating movements of the arms and legs.
Use this step-by-step tutorial to get the timing jussssst right!
6. The Bust Down
As far as TikTok dance moves go, the Bust Down is definitely on the sexier end of the spectrum.
Characterized by a scoop/thrust motion of the hips, the move is great for raunchy club jams like "Thotiana" by Blueface – the song that popularized the move!
If adding a lil sexy swagger to your movement feels like climbing Mt.
Everest, know that practice and repetition will be your best friend!
STEEZY's tutorial breaks the move down simply and efficiently, so you can learn it in just 9 minutes and repeat sections LITERALLY AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT.
Trust us, you'll have swag down to a science.👨🔬
7. The Cosby Walk
Yes, when executed the right way, the simple act of marching can become a dope dance move!
Watch our video with Rated R, creator of the Cosby Walk, to see exactly what we mean:
As you're learning this move, make sure you're placing your feet firmly on the floor and evenly distributing your weight!
If your bottom half is weak and wobbly, you'll look more bambi than bad@$$.

How to Do Anitta's Envolver Challenge From TikTok

In the day and age of the TikTok dance, it's easy to be wowed and intimidated by most of the choreography that pops up on your feed. The latest viral challenge, though, looks so difficult and so H.O.T. that you won't be able to resist giving it a try (or at least watching a million videos of people attempting it).
Just take a peek at the #EnvolverChallenge, and you'll understand.
The dance arose from the song "Envolver" by Brazilian singer Anitta, who recently became the first Latin woman to reach No. 1 on Spotify's global chart as a solo artist thanks to this song. Unlike other TikTok dances that are created by users themselves, this dance move (which is also being shared as the #AnittaChallenge) came straight from Anitta's performances.
And it's a challenge: the move involves bending over, making your way out to a plank, and essentially doing a slow-mo push-up and holding the bottom of that position while gyrating your hips.
@anittaE aí? Qual o melhor? #envolver
♬ Envolver - Anitta
Plenty of people on TikTok and Instagram have given it a try, but admittedly, it does not look easy. This move requires a ton of upper-body and core strength to hold yourself at the bottom of a push-up. Plus, you'll need an incredible mind-body connection to hold that position while moving your hips in the correct way (or, for people who already know how to dance, that's probably the easy part). It's half twerk, half killer upper-body exercise.
"This move is working all of the muscles that you would typically work while doing a plank: core, lats, chest, and quads," says Sadie Kurzban, founder and CEO of dance fitness studio 305 Fitness.
"There's a bit of extra challenge on your core because as your pelvis moves, your core continues to stabilize you in this position. Be careful to take it easy and work your core muscles so as not to [strain] your back."
So how do you master the #EnvolverChallenge? Start by practicing your hip rotation (gyrating) in a standing position, Kurzban suggests. "Start to get a rhythm and balance going. When you have a good hip roll, get down in that plank position and give it a try. Be very careful to keep your core tight the entire time. If you don't, you risk back injury." Be sure to step your feet wider than you would in a normal plank so you have more room to move, and bend your knees so you can isolate the gyrating movement in your hips versus moving your whole lower body. Sound like a lot? Luckily, Anitta also shared a TikTok with a tutorial on exactly how to do the move.

♬ Envolver - Anitta
If you're determined to master the move, build up your core strength over time by doing plenty of planks, plank hip dips, plank leg lifts, or planks where you alternate bending your knees — all moves that help you learn to maintain core stability in a plank while other parts of your body are moving.
Add in plenty of push-ups, too (especially triceps push-ups, which require your hands to be closer together than traditional push-ups). Then throw in some dance cardio, because that hip rotation takes practice.
If it's just not clicking for you, don't sweat it; surely, another easier TikTok dance challenge will come along soon. And if you're now obsessed with Anitta (honestly, same), you can see her do this move IRL at this year's Coachella.
How to learn to dance twerk - Lifehacker

Butt size doesn't matter!

Twerk is just a super sexy dance that will pump your plasticity, and at the same time load your abs and back muscles well. To begin with, we will learn a few basic movements, and then we will diversify the dance vocabulary and analyze the main mistakes.
And at the end you will find a bonus in the form of a playlist with suitable music.
If you have problems with your lumbar spine, exercise with caution, or better yet, consult your doctor.
Learn how to do basic elements
Booty pop back
Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width, toes slightly apart. Bend your knees and place your hands on your hips, turning them inward with your fingers, bend your lower back.
From this position, twist the pelvis down, and then, due to the deflection in the lower back, return it to its original position. Imagine that you are trying to reach the top of your head with your pelvis.
It is important to fix the upper back and work only on the lower back. You can not strain the gluteal muscles, otherwise the movement will turn out to be clamped.
If difficulties arise, try the lead-in exercise first. Place your hands on your hips so that your middle fingers rest on the protruding bones of the pelvis in front, and your thumbs - behind, closer to the sacrum.
Bend your knees, move your pelvis down and then up, controlling the movement with your hands.
When you feel more confident, remove your hands and connect the movement with your knees. When the pelvis goes down, the knees bend, when it rises, they unbend. No need to lock the knees at the extreme point, they should remain slightly bent.
The pelvis moves back not only due to the straightening of the knees. The lower back must work.
Front booty pop
This movement is very similar to the previous one, only the emphasis is on pushing the pelvis forward rather than backward.
Set your feet wide and point your toes slightly out. You can put your hands on your hips to better feel the tilt. At the same time, bend your knees and sharply move your pelvis forward so that your butt goes down, and then bend your lower back and bring your pelvis back.
The emphasis is on the first phase of the movement, when the butt goes down.
It is important at this moment not to pinch the buttocks, but to change the position of the pelvis due to the tension of the abdominal muscles.
Try other twerk moves
Double
This element repeats the usual booty pop, only the movement of the pelvis in it is double: down-down, up-up.
Suffle twerk
Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width. At the same time, turn one leg with your toe and knee out and transfer your weight to the opposite thigh. Then, with a small jump, switch sides.
First try to move slowly to get the point, then speed up. Jump relaxed.
Up down twerk
Arch your lower back and push your pelvis back. On the count of “one”, simultaneously round the lower back, bringing the pelvis forward, bend the knees and bring the shoulders forward. On the count of "two", bend your lower back and take your ass back in a semi-squat.
On the count of three, straighten your knees, round your lower back, and roll your shoulders forward. On the count of four, arch your back in the thoracic region, straightening your shoulders.
It turns out that at the lower point you bend in the lower back, and at the top - in the chest.
Wobble
To feel the movement, start moving slowly. Place your feet shoulder-width apart, place your palms opposite the pelvis. In turn, touch the palms with one or the other bone of the pelvis. Accelerate gradually.
You can wobble while standing upright or bent over. Practice slowly bending over and back up as you move. Important: you should not pinch, otherwise stiffness will occur and no shaking will work.
Zig zag
Get into a twerk stance, lower your right thigh first, then your left thigh. Then, one by one, lift them up to their original position. At first, perform the elements slowly, with fixation at each point, and then gradually accelerate.
You can do this movement a little higher. In this case, start with a stance on straight legs in an incline.
In the same way, lower the right and left hips in turn, bending the knees, and then raise the hips, straightening the legs.
Stripper shake
Rise up on your toes and turn your heels in and out a little. Arch your lower back, try to relax your hips as much as possible.
This element can be performed in a straight position or bent over, moving both legs at once, or one at a time.
Roll
Stand with your feet slightly wider than your shoulders, point your toes forward, tilt your body and rest your hands on your hips. Rotate your pelvis, lowering and raising it as you go.
You can do this either in a bent over position on your hips or standing up.
Happy twerk
Start in a twerk position with your toes pointing forward. Do one regular booty pop in place, then another with the toes and knees turned out to the sides, and then the next one with them returning to a straight position.
Continue turning your toes and knees out and back, tilting your pelvis as you move.
Flash
Place your feet shoulder-width apart, rise on your toes. Pull your pelvis back a little. Move quickly from foot to foot, trying to relax your buttocks.
Twist
Raise your right leg to the side, turn it with your toe and knee inward. From this position, simultaneously transfer the weight to the left thigh and turn the raised leg with the toe outward. Return your foot to the floor and repeat on the other side.
Try moving in other positions
Twerk can be danced not only while standing, but also while squatting, on all fours and even upside down on your hands, with your feet resting against the wall. Try different positions - this will help diversify your dance.
Squatting
This is the same booty pop, only squatting. If you don't have enough stretch to move freely in a deep squat, work on your hip mobility first.
Offset to one side
Good stretch is also required for this option. Otherwise, you will not be able to relax and move freely.
On all fours
First practice the standing element to get used to it. Raise one leg on the toe, turning it with the knee outward and at the same time leaning on the opposite thigh. Then smoothly switch sides.
Now place your palms on the floor, arch your lower back, bend your knees and lift your heels off the floor. Perform a familiar movement in a new position.
This is enough to get you started. Try, combine the movements with each other and, if something fails, correct the mistakes.
Understand why you don't succeed
There are three main reasons why instead of twerking you get some bullshit. And the size of the priests has nothing to do with it.
1. You lack flexibility
To twerk well, you must have good mobility in the lumbar spine and hips. If flexibility is lacking, you can improve it by doing stretching exercises.

2.
You work your upper back and shoulders All basic movements require arching in the lower back. It is due to the lower spine that you feed the pelvis back and forth. But if during booty pop you bend in the thoracic spine and connect your shoulders, the movement will not look like a twerk.
3. You're too tight
This is probably the biggest beginner's mistake, which results in a tight, wooden pelvic movement instead of sexual shaking.
Don't push yourself too hard, relax your buttocks and thighs, shake off tension from your arms and shoulders. All elements should be carried out easily and without clamps. The best way to relax and feel the movement is to turn on the music.
Pick up the music
We found a cool audio compilation that makes you want to dance to and not stop. The description on YouTube has the names of all the tracks.
And another big selection, this time from Yandex.
Music. There are some great tracks too, and some of them are pretty slow paced so you can learn the moves in a relaxed and casual way.
Let us know how your twerking progresses in the comments. It turns out?

Push It Rick Ross lyrics
It's like I'm stuck in this slum (
Push it to the limit)
... bad pay.
No water we barely bathed
Better to have better days on the way
Which is on my father's grave.
(push it to the limit)
I push hard (hard)
I push soft (southern)
If he pushes white (false)
, he pushes Ross (ross)
I waited and waited ( waited)
, I didn't have the patience (patience)
, They hated and hated
Left them slowly dancing with the satin (
Push it to the limit)
, Fresh in my white t-shirt
Mac elevensware
, Fresh in my white tee 9003
God.
I bought my first quarter,
Broke it and tore it apart.
(push to the limit)
I push and push (push)
I ride and I drive (ride)
, Trying to survive on 95-
Ohm (push it to the limit)
line (line)
On a drop of a penny (penny).
I push them with whips (whips)
Yes, three at a time (
I push to the limit).
I push him (push)
I push him (push)
I push him (push)
I have to (to the limit)
I push him (push)
I push him (push)
I push him (push)
I have to ( push it to the limit)
I treat dope like a wandle, banana boats,
Bananas and guns.
No cameras, I'm just a man alone.
(push it to the limit)
I paid my bills, my moves made the news
I smoothed out my suede shoes,
They new like ray-cial (
Push it to the limit)
Nobody said (didn't say)
Now everybody wave (wave), you wet your momma's house (house), you set your sister right (straight up) (push it to the limit) I build a dream (dream) with elevators in it, tell me who made the linen but the alligators didn't hit my hater sight (push it to the limit) I see you, I see you, sukki (sukki)
I see you clearly (clearly).
