Challenge Day 4

4. Dancing: Who’s dancing and why are they tapping those toes?

Have you seen the dancers on TikTok? There are dance challenges, dance tutorials, professional dancers, expressive dancers, and silly dancers. I’m endlessly entertained by the creativity and talent of these humans.

When there is a new dance trend, it’s usually a 60-90 second routine. I become aware of a trend when see more than one of the creators I follow dancing to the tagged tune. I’ll often watch comedians, influencers, and regular folk doing the moves but then I see the professional dancers perform the moves and I see a huge difference. I think, “ah, that’s how it’s supposed to be done.”

Sometimes I’m curious to try a dance trend but have never gotten off my butt to try, say nothing of ever posting anything.

On my FYP, I glimpse the Rockettes, city ballet companies, burlesque dancers, and hoop dancers. Wow. The clips not only are advertisements for the shows but are truly entertaining and educational. I wouldn’t get to see many of these performances if not for the silly app.

Bravo to all the talented humans!
