Each day, there is seemingly a new dance challenge that comes up on social media platforms – especially TikTok.
For internet users to easily grasp a dance challenge and be able to take part in it, the steps have to be simple, catchy, fun and trendy.
Songs such as Jerusalema and Tshwala Bam became popular and most streamed songs because of their trendy dance challenges that had almost everyone jumping onto the bandwagon.
Dance challenges evolve everyday, and can sometimes involve popular dance moves compiled to form the trendy step. Furthermore, the Amapiano genre with its irresistible beats and log drum has become the backdrop of many dance challenges.
Here are some of the dance challenges that have kept the internet captivated and eager to learn the dance moves.
