Easy Tik Tok Dances That’ll Keep You Busy During Quarantine
Tik Tok dances have been one of the many lifesavers during the quarantine. If you have been living under a rock for the past few months, Tik Tok is the new short-video, social media app that has taken over the world. It’s pretty much the new Vine and we are all living for it. Along with all the life hacks, recipes, and funny videos on Tik Tok, dancing videos to funny, catchy songs have taken over the app completely. Anyone can get in on the trendy dances and try their best at copying or adding their own unique twist on them. This is a great way to stay busy during the quarantine and so much fun, so if you want to get in on the action, here are some easy Tik Tok dances to get you started!
1. “Number one baby”
This dance consists of some simple arm movements to the words of the popular song, Relationship by Young Thug ft. Future. You might notice some familiar dance moves in this Tik Tok, including things like the “woah,” rocking your arms back and forth like you’re cradling a baby, and tapping your wrist like you are pointing at a watch. Within a few practice rounds, this one should be a quick one to nail down.
2. “The Box”
With some simple arm movements and a little sway of the hips, “the box” is another fun and easy Tik Tok dance to learn. This dance is set to Roddy Ricch’s The Box obviously. Right from the beginning, you’ll be using your arms in a windshield wiper motion, and before you know it, you’re jumping up and down on one leg. It sounds a little difficult but it’s done in a little bit of slow motion. This dance was made popular by Charlie Da’Maelio, Tik Tok superstar. Be sure to get into it with her crazy facial expression and body rolls, it makes it so much more fun!
3. “Git Up Challenge”
You’ve probably heard and seen the Git Up dance and song that has become popular a few months ago. However, Tik Tok has taken this dance to a whole new level. Because Tik Tok videos are so short, it was a fun challenge to compact all the fun of the Git Up dance into Tik Tok. This made fans of the song and users of the app come up with a unique twist on the original. You can find the original dance online, keep the basic steps for Tik Tok, and then add your own spin to it.
4. “Toes”
This dance is set to TOES by Dababy. It is dance that is all upper body basically, which makes it easy to learn. If you can match up the dance moves to the words in the song, it’ll make it much easier to learn and remember. You’ll see familiar moves like the classic “woah,” the “dab,” and friendly gun signs. Spice this dance up by singing along while dancing and put your hips into it!
5. “Carol Baskin”
Okay so this one is a little bit more difficult but it’s short, and it is a lot of fun and will defiantly make you laugh. We all know the infamous Tiger King docu-series on Netflix. If you don’t know what I’m talking about just Google Carol Baskin. Anyway, this song is a parody from Magan Thee Stallion’s song, Savage which also holds the original dance as well. There are very similar in moves such as the hip sways, the “wave,” and a few twerks here and there. I think the Carol Baskin version is more fun, but they are both very similar so pick your favorite!
6. “Say So”
This is such a fun dance and the most popular! It is set to Doja Cat’s Say So. I’ve literally seen children do this dance, it is really simple and easy to learn. There are obviously different versions out there where the dances have been added to and modified but the original is simple. It involves taking your fist and gently tapping the side of your head, rolling your arms like you would do in a cha-cha dance, and making a ‘movie frame’ with your hands. See, all stuff you can totally do!
7. “Something New”
This is probably the easiest Tik Tok dance to learn ever. It is also great because you can do it with as many people as you want, the more the better! Lots of celebrities have done this dance with their children, so it can be a great way to past time with your family. You and your friends and family simply stand in a line and one by one get up close to the camera and do a little dance. This dance is set to “Something New” by Whiz Khalifa.Â
8. “Blinding Lights”
This is a fun dance to do in a smaller group. It does require a little more coordination but after only a few practice attempts you’ll be good to go. This dance involves mostly leg movements. It is performed with “Blinding Lights” by The Weekend so it is a little fast-paced. There are dance moves that look like butt-kicks, legs straight out in a side to side motion, and more. The additions and modifications for this dance are endless!
9. “Toosie Slide”
Yes, Drake’s Toosie Slide song is now part of a Tik Tok dance challenge. This is easy to follow along as the lyrics literally walk you through and help you remember the dance moves. Although you will find similar moves to this song on Tik Tok, there is also room for interpretation and you to try something totally different. After all, “right foot up, left foot slide” can look like many different, cool moves.
10. “Can’t Touch This”
This is an old school meets new school kind of dance with very simplistic steps. The dance moves in this one are probably ones you already know. You might recognize the Mocorana and the “woah,” well this is pretty much the whole dance in a nutshell. It is done at a very fast-paced and with a little attitude. That’s right, put on your funny faces, and really give it your all. Do this alone or with your friends and make sure the remix to the classic “Can’t Touch This” is playing.
