These videos often feature choreography with arm and hand movements, while the user is holding an invisible baby. If you want to be one of these famous users, learn about these dances. Then you can add your own choreography to the TikTok app!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blinding_Lights\"><\/span>&#8220;Blinding Lights&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Weeknd&#8217;s song, &#8216;Blinding Lights,&#8217; has inspired some amazing TikTok dances, including one by a Kentucky dad. The song has become a hit on social media since it was released in March 2020. Although some people might be skeptical of the video&#8217;s origins, the video has become one of the most popular dance challenges on TikTok. Typically, participants dance in a line with choreographed moves and a hashtag.<\/p>\n<p>In the United Kingdom, this group dance has become popular enough to be featured in news outlets such as Fox and the Daily Mail. People have even gotten in on the fun, and have performed the dance in hospitals, supermarkets and while in labour. One local ambulance service even joined in the fun in Oldham. The TikTok group spokesperson said that the dance has taken on a life of its own in the last month. To try out this new dance, dust off your leggings and bring your breaststroke from Year 7 swimming lessons.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from being a popular dance challenge on TikTok, the song also inspired many other celebrities to participate in the craze. While the Grammys passed over it, the song still sold 444,000 units in its first week, including streaming, making it the biggest debut album in the year 2020. In addition to the video&#8217;s viral appeal, the song has become a hit single in the Billboard Hot 100, with more than 2.8 billion views.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tap_In\"><\/span>&#8220;Tap In&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The &#8220;Tap In&#8221; dance is one of the most popular challenges on TikTok. Created by @yodamnmomma, it is a choreographed dance showcasing fast arm movements and synchronized hip sways. The dance has inspired countless other users on the platform, including Tony Lopez, Charli D&#8217;Amelio, and Addison Rae. Since it first went viral, it has been performed by more than three million users.<\/p>\n<p>The song &#8220;Tap In&#8221; has been used in more than 3.8 million TikTok videos. This is the first time that a rap song has been featured in so many TikTok videos. The original dance challenge, choreographed by Dua Lipa, has received over 6 million views. Many other celebrities are jumping into the dance challenge, posting several videos of themselves performing the moves.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most popular TikTok dances have gained moderate fame and even become viral, gaining popularity among non-TikTok users. The &#8220;Brian Esperon Dance&#8221; went viral in August 2020. The bold and original dance quickly spread across the TikTok platform. Addison Rae also became a hit, becoming the first woman to choreograph a video of her own.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renegade\"><\/span>&#8220;Renegade&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first Renegade video was uploaded to TikTok by Global Jones. Later, Jalaiah got credit for creating part two. The dance became popular, and Jalaiah has since earned fame and TikTok Rewards. It is still unknown who created the original video. Regardless, the trend is a definite hit on the social network. Whether Jalaiah did it or not, her video will definitely continue to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Renegade, or the &#8216;Redemption&#8217; dance, has become a viral sensation. Videos created by celebrities like Lizzo, children from Stranger Things, and even kids have joined the dance craze. The craze has even earned the attention of K Camp, who praised D&#8217;Amelio for the original choreography. Ultimately, the question remains, who owns the video?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to ignore the dance craze, but the sexy mashup is a powerful tool. It has gained more followers than any other dance in TikTok. With over 100 million video views, &#8220;Renegade&#8221; has been downloaded more than a billion times. The mashup has also triggered numerous credit disputes between the platform and Black creators. Nevertheless, the platform apologized to Black creators after George Floyd&#8217;s death and pledged to develop an incubator for Black creatives.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f3Gg008axd4\" width=\"408\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"228\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are the Names of TikTok Dances?
