If social distancing has finally inspired you to download TikTok, the social-media app dominated by Gen Z, congratulations! Welcome. It’s time for you to learn some TikTok dances.
Just as the currency of early Instagram was photos of latte art, the currency of TikTok right now is 15 to 30 second dances. 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. It’s like the macarena, or Soulja Boy, but harder and made for your viewing pleasure. Even Hailey and Justin Bieber are doing them.
The dances were inescapable on my feed, but until recently, I hadn’t tried them. I’m not a great dancer; my experience is limited to a high-school production of Grease. 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. 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.
A quick note on the medium: Audio is central to TikTok.
Instead of passing around photos or jpeg formats, the sounds get used over and over. The word “sound” can be used to describe a song, a clip from a TV show, any audible component. It’s also the easiest way to find the dances — click on the sound used in the video. Some dances are scored to actual clips from songs, such as the hugely popular Doja Cat “Say So” dance, and others use more obscure remixes. A song that came out in 2010, Kesha’s “Cannibal,” is currently the soundtrack to one of the most popular dances. It’s not common for the dances to have names, so for the purpose of this list, I’ve called them by the song they’re scored to, or an official name if there is one.
This is easy if and only if you already know the macarena, which, if you’re reading this article, you probably do. It’s a good one to warm up with. Think of it as the equivalent of a child’s pose at the beginning of vinyasa class.
Do the macarena twice as fast, pretend to drum a few times, then hit the “woah.” The “woah” is probably the most important TikTok dance move. Move your left arm down at a diagonal and move your right arm up, parallel to the left. Pulse. Confusingly, there are some other versions of the “woah,” most commonly a kind of “turning a car wheel” motion, but those are not the proper “woah” to do in this context.
If Laura Dern can do this one, so can you. It’s short, sweet, and requires a lot of attitude. I learned it after drinking two glasses of wine, but that’s not necessary. The key moves are the body roll and the punch, which you’ll find in a lot of TikTok dances. I put on a tutorial and dedicated five minutes to getting the basic moves down.
Now, my muscle memory has kicked in well enough that I can add my own flair. That’s another key to TikTok dancing: add your own flair. This is your time to shine! Doja Cat liked this dance so much she put the creator Haley Sharpe, or @yodelinghaley, in the music video.
One of the baffling things about TikTok is that so many people seem to get their partners to join in on TikTok videos. This dance is a good example. The moves pretty much correspond to the lyrics — the last word of the song is “baby” so you make a rocking motion. The first couple in the above compilation is composed of TikTok’s reigning dance king and queen, Chase Hudson and Charli D’Amelio. Learn from the pros.
If you’re on TikTok long enough, you’re gonna hear this song used for lots of videos, not just dancing.
As far as I can tell, it’s a remix that originated on YouTube. There is a deeply funny tutorial of this dance here. My weakness, I’ve learned, is that I have a hard time getting my lower body to do anything while my upper body is reciting dance moves. But it’s crucial. The dance moves will only take you about 20 minutes to get down, but perfect execution takes more practice. Annoying, I know—- but at least we have lots of time on our hands.
I have wanted to learn this dance since I first saw it. My first attempt was after a night out and a video of me practicing was subsequently sent to my friends. Embarrassing, I know, but it’s an occupational hazard when you decide to commit to TikTok dancing. This has two extremely fun dance moves — the heart shape pulsing in the middle and the opening “I’ll eat you up” hand gesture. Everything else is filler.
@ya.girl.bri.bri97 is credited with coming up with the choreography, and posted a tutorial here.
Okay, we’ve arrived at the Renegade. It’s undoubtedly the most popular dance on TikTok, maybe in the world right now. I saw someone do this in church over Christmas. But despite its popularity, it’s kind of a hard dance. It’s best to use a tutorial for this one. I think the first half is more challenging: The combination of the woah, clap, figure eight, and wave is a lot for my arms to take in. But once you have it down, it’s satisfying and you’ll find yourself doing it at any given opportunity, just to brag.
If you’re actually a dancer or looking for a challenge, check out the original Renegade. It was created by 14-year-old Jalaiah Harmon on the app Funimate.
It migrated to TikTok and as it proliferated, it got a bit easier. Here’s the original:

Another dance where the lyrics and the moves pretty much correlate. But in this one, you have to throw it back — a central move in the TikTok oeuvre. Your torso does a body roll while your leg kicks back. You’re throwing “it” back, and “it” is your butt. I don’t want to look at myself “throwing it back” so I haven’t recorded any videos of this one. But I do like the casual, cocky, ending hand motion. @Talialevinger posted this dance first in October with the caption “made up a dance!” And yes, this is another Doja Cat song.
She comes up a lot on TikTok.
@Zoifishh posted this dance in early February and the sound has been used in 3.7 million videos (not all of them are dancing, but many of them are). Blessedly, she also recorded a tutorial at half speed. Honestly, it feels like it’s at full speed. There are a lot of body rolls and hair flips in this one. The pout and chest bumps at the end, along with the victorious swaying, is a well-earned treat after a rapid ten seconds. And it really shows that a big part of TikTok dancing is being able to keep a beat and sway/dance through whatever your arms are doing. The dance moves are mostly your arms, but proper execution includes engaging your whole body. Which, for the uncoordinated, is daunting.
This is the one I spent an hour learning last night.
It moves so quickly — it leaves me winded half of the time. The moves are all high energy — punch the air, flick off the sweat, and finish it with a pose at the end. The dance’s creator, Ciara aka @ceceiswoke, made a tutorial at half speed, but even that is faster than I, for one, am used to. Block out the hour you would have spent at the gym and go for it.
You can really only do this if you can do a split. And if you can do a split, you probably don’t need help learning TikTok dances. But maybe that’s something the rest of us can work on while social distancing — getting a perfect split.

The 21 most popular TikTok dances in 2021 and how to do them
TikTok is all about finding what’s trending right now. Whether it’s the latest fashion or sweet new coffee flavors, you’ll find everything on this app. And naturally, you can’t talk about TikTok trends without talking about the dances.
Think you can’t dance? Well, think again! Especially when it comes to some of these easy-to-learn dances currently trending on the platform. This article has everything you need to know about the 21 most popular dance challenges trending on TikTok in 2021.
The 3 most popular TikTok dances in 2021
Every dance has a story of how it rose to popularity. But these are the top 3 most popular TikTok dances for the year.
1. Stay
Set to the wildly popular song by Kid Laroi and Justin Beiber, “Stay,” this dance will have you shaking your hips and spinning your camera all around. Thankfully, it’s also one of the easiest dances on this list to try to do.
@totouchanemuI may not have @maxtaylorlifts dumpy but I do have a drone.
♬ STAY – The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber
2. Fancy Like
This dance, like the song, is all about making the best of what you’ve got. Fancy Like has been a trending dance for most of the year, but it even made the jump from TikTok to TV when the restaurant chain Applebees used videos from the app for their commercials.
@walkerhayesofficial#fancylike ooooooooo💪
♬ Fancy Like – Walker Hayes
3. Ski Mask The Slump God
The final dance to round out the top three for 2021 is this one for the song “Ski Mask The Slump God.” This one is a masterclass in playing with different timings that will have you holding moves for extra counts and then picking back up to the song’s syncopation.
@charlidameliodc @d0rasm0ther @bruh.liv19
♬ Ski Mask The Slump God – Foot Fungus – Kiersten
The TikTok dances in 2021 that are still trending
Trends come, and trends go. It’s hard to stay on top of them because there are just too many all the time. But don’t worry — we’ve put together a list of dances from the past year that are still getting views on TikTok.
4. I Like to Move It
While the I Like to Move It dance doesn’t require having someone else shuffle along with you, it doesn’t hurt to have a dance partner or two join in. And don’t forget to make sure you have enough of an open path to shuffle through for your video.
@juniorjmssI like to… 🥴 #fyp #pourtoi #drole @jikamanu
♬ son original – JuniorJmss
5. The Whole Shack Shimmy
The Whole Shack Shimmy is a dance set to a mashup of Britney Spears’s “Toxic” and The B-52s’ “Love Shack.” The choreography is exactly what you’d expect from a song with such a combination. It’s a fun dance that requires an awful lot of coordination. And it’s always worth a watch when you stumble across one of these videos in the app.
@sophhutchinson0just wanna see if my solo career will take off better #fyp
♬ Shaxicula (Toxic x Love Shack x Dragula) – DJ Cummerbund
6.
Staying Alive Mashup Another dance set to a surprising mashup of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” and The BeeGees’ “Staying Alive.” The track itself has a fun groove that makes you want to get down. But the choreography is the real star here. The important thing is to have an effortless chill when filming this dance.
@nathanramsayyDc Myself 😊 vibes with @warrenrussell @sam.craske #foryou
♬ BEE GEES VS 50 cent – EZ
7. Talkin’ Bout
Think you can get low? This dance set to the song “Talkin’ Bout” will have you doing just that. It’s definitely on the harder side of TikTok dances, but if you can pull it off, the sharp movements and precise timing will make this a video that gets, well, talked about.
@4abeyylil dance got me hyped 😮🤍 @officialsaweetie did that ✨ dc me 😽
♬ Talkin’ Bout (feat.Saweetie) – Loui
8. Unwritten Remix
The video for the Unwritten Remix really lives up to the adage “the more, the merrier.” But you can definitely do this shufflin’ by yourself, too. It’s a lot of fun, and the upbeat remix will get your heart pumping.
@rony_boyyWe had everyone lit 🔥 after ‼️ ( Dc me ) with the crew 🔥 #fyp #ronyboyy #trending #AirPodsJUMP #hiphop #viral
♬ Esco Like Yhop ft. Shawn P – Èsco Upp🗣
9. Up
Cardi B’s “Up” sets the track for this dance challenge. And trust us when we say it’s not for the faint of heart. But this video featuring a mom and daughter pulling it off just goes to show that you don’t always have to stick precisely to the choreography to have a great time in your dance videos.
@aniyahlanaeHappy International Women’s Day ✨ w/ @tishpix TAG 3 PHENOMENAL WOMEN! ❤️ #up #upchallenge #upcardibchallenge #cardib #womensday dc: @theemyanicloee
♬ Up – Cardi B
10.
Domino Lover Not to be confused with the pizza chain, this dance challenge is set to the popular song from Jessie J, “Domino.” This one does require a dance partner, but don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be someone you’re in love with. Just someone who will support you being silly and having a fun time doing it.
@jessiejYou knew it was coming #dominochallenge 🙋🏻♀️
♬ Domino Lovers Challenge – stilestefanbae
The best TikTok dances in 2021 that are easy to learn
Now that you’ve seen a few examples of what’s trending, we’re sure you’re ready to jump in and start shaking what your mama gave ya. But before you dive into the deep end, check out this list of the easier dances that have been trending throughout 2021.
11. Iko Iko
Don’t be intimidated by how long this dance is compared to some of the others on this list. Just grab your bestie and take it one move at a time.
We guarantee you’ll have fun while trying to do it.
@biggestsmileintheworldHEY NOW😂 WE’RE BACK😂🔥 @davidmyers #fyp #foryou #viral #QuickerPickerRapper #biggestsmileintheworld #twins #newtrend
♬ Iko Iko (My Bestie) (feat. Small Jam) – Justin Wellington
12. Kiss Me More
Set to Doja Cat’s song “Kiss Me More,” this challenge is a lot of fun and all about the big swinging movements. The nice thing about choreography like this is that it doesn’t require you to be very exact or precise, meaning you can flub it up a little. Just add a bit of flair to make it all seem intentional.
@zoifishhTRY OUR FUN DANCE HEHE🧍🏼♀️ (dc: me and @cassidycondiee)
♬ Kiss Me More (feat. SZA) – Doja Cat
13. Church Bells
This dance for Carrie Underwood’s song “Church Bells” is hands down the easiest one on our list.
In fact, it’s only for the intro of the song, and it’s only 6 dance moves.
@astronomicalboya lot of you have been asking for a church bells dance tutorial, so here it is 🤗
♬ Church Bells by Carrie Underwood – mark
14. Siren Beat
The Siren Beat is actually a challenge that started in 2020 and has continued to stay trending throughout 2021. It’s a fun dance and one that you could probably pick up in an afternoon.
@lewisleighhhaha my mum and dad loved doing this dance , comment if you think we should more 🙂 #fyp #family #foryou #familydancechallenge
♬ Laxed (Siren Beat) – Jawsh 685
15. Cut the Check
The Cut the Check challenge might take a little longer to pick up, but this is some exciting choreography with nothing too difficult.
There are just a lot of steps to remember.
@mahakhamiddTHANK YOU TO EVERYONE DOING MY DANCE 🙂 I love you so much ♬ dc mahakhamidd – mahak
16. Out West
Go ahead and go out west with this fun dance challenge. Most of the choreography is pretty simple, and it’s set to a tempo that makes the moves even easier to pick up.
@nicolebloomgardenNEW CHALLENGE ALERT 🚨 Tag me & use the hashtag #OutWestChallenge in your videos‼️ I WANNA SEE YALL LETS GO VIRAL #fyp #foryou #trending #viral #dance
♬ OUT WEST (feat. Young Thug) – JACKBOYS & Travis Scott
17. Beggin
If you’re looking for a dance that will get you moving, look no further than this choreography set to the song “Beggin’.” It’s got big arm movements that will have you grooving from side to side.
@katiefeeneyysaw someone doing my dance on the fyp so let’s bring it back!😛 tag me if you do it💗 #beggin
♬ Beggin by Madcon – •.* .doll. *.•
18. Unlock It
The choreography for Unlock It (Lock it) is all about shaking everything from your hair to your hips. And don’t worry about not having enough hair to whip back and forth. There’s still plenty of fun to be had with this dance, even without flowing locks.
@charlixcx#duet with @addisonre ly queen ❤️
♬ Unlock it (Lock It) [Jeff Prior Mix] – Charli XCX
19. To the Back
To the Back is another fun dance to get you moving. The moves themselves are not really tricky for this song, although there are a lot of them, and they all happen pretty fast.
@laurjacksonnif you don’t feel like duetting yourself for the dance I made up here’s a solo versionnn #ProblemSolved #fyp #dancechallenge #duet
♬ doja x calabria – bryce
20. Easy Dance
Just like its name promises, the Easy Dance is a simple shuffle that will get you bouncing to the beat. Still, it might take a few tries to pick up. But once you get this one down, we bet you won’t be able to stop bopping around your house.
@el.meyersWho you trying this with?🤩🤩 #easydancemove #easydancetutorial2021 #dancechallenge #lockdowndancechallenge #dancetrend
♬ A version Australians can use – nathanieltaplin
21. What You Know Bout Love
Can you snap your fingers? How about drawing a heart in the air? Do you think you can sway your shoulders from side to side? Then you can already do this dance.
This is some really simple choreography set to Pop Smoke’s “What You Know Bout Love.”
@yuval_cohen10תייגו טיקטוקרית שדומה לי 🙂 #fyp
♬ What You Know Bout Love – Pop Smoke
When most people think of TikTok, the first thing that comes to mind is the wide collection of dance videos shared on the platform. Every day, there’s a new dance challenge being started. And there’s always great content for you to try to learn and put your own spin on. But the most important thing is all the fun you can be having while you’re making these videos. Even if you never post your videos, learning one of these dances is a great way to kill a couple of hours.

How to dance in the social network Tik Tok ✩ Tikstar.
ru What dances are the most popular on Tik Tok. How to learn popular dance moves. Recommendations for filming and editing commercials.
In recent years, social networks have become a common way to earn money and self-realization. Today, Tik Tok is a social network that allows you to shoot music videos, broadcast live, shoot duets and communicate through correspondence. The opportunities that TikTok provides to those who have managed to make themselves known attract more and more people who want to shoot dances on video and post them on TikTok. But, unfortunately, not everyone understands what needs to be done for this.
Popular Tik Tok dances
There are many types of dances performed by Tik Tok users. Someone moves arbitrarily to the beat of the music, while someone repeats well-known dance styles. The most popular dances on Tik Tok:
Tutting. This dance is a movement of the hands that gives the impression of an uninterrupted puzzle.
An important rule of tatting is the geometric position of the hands.
Dance from the video for the song "Padkaya" in Tik Tok. This dance was first performed by members of the NLO group to the track "Padkaya". After that, a challenge was launched with the hashtag #greedy. From that moment on, the dance began to gain popularity and is now performed by many tiktokers.
Shuffle. These are fast dance moves with the feet. Shuffle is a fairly old dance style that originated in Australia in the late 80s.
In fact, the choice of dances is quite wide, on Tik Tok you can find clips with other performances. In this case, you should focus only on your skills and preferences.
How to record a dance on tik tok?
After you have chosen and learned the dance to be performed, you can start recording the clip. To get a high-quality video without unnecessary nerves, you should carefully prepare for the shooting stage.
- An important component of a good video is the right musical accompaniment, so you need to allocate enough time to choose the right track. You should choose more popular songs - this will help break into the recommendations and become noticed. Today, the most commonly used are: Tim Beloruskih - Vitaminka; Dynoro, Gigi D'Agustino - In My Mind; Tommee Profitt, Fleurie, Jung Youth - In The End; Kazka - Cried; Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody.
- The next step in preparing to shoot is to check the battery of the phone or other gadgets that will be used for recording. By charging all the equipment in advance, you can avoid unexpected interruption of video shooting.
- You must rehearse the dance before starting the recording. In order to reduce the number of takes and cope with the task as early as possible, it is recommended to repeat the dance several times and make sure that all movements are debugged.
- When the preparatory stage is completed, select the speed of the music and turn on the recording.
Shooting tips
The chance of being noticed and winning the hearts of the audience largely depends on the quality of the videos. A memorable nickname can also attract attention. And in order to get a good picture at the output, you should pay special attention to setting up and installing the camera, as well as editing the resulting clip.
Setting up the phone
The best option for setting up the phone on which the video will be recorded is a pre-purchased tripod. However, if there is no tripod, then you can do without this item - just place the device on a shelf or table and properly strengthen it. In this case, the most important thing is that you can be clearly seen during the recording. It is better to choose a place for shooting illuminated, but not too bright.
Video editing
You can correct light imperfections, correct color and add effects both in Tik Tok itself and in other applications and programs. But it is important not to overdo it in an effort to make the video better.
All effects should look harmonious and appropriate.
How to learn to dance for tik tok?
If you have experience in dancing, then it will not be difficult for you to make a high-quality video for tik tok. However, if you have not dealt with dancing, you will have to try. An excellent outlet for those who do not know how to dance will be the numerous dance tutorial videos that are freely available.
