 TikTok is leading the current dance trends popular among

millennials and members of Gen Z. 
 Along with the "Renegade," other notable dances have
grown in popularity on the app.
 Below is a comprehensive guide to some of TikTok's most
popular dances to date.
 Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.

 Walk into almost any middle school or high school, and most kids could not only
tell you what the "Renegade" dance is but probably perform it too. The viral
dance made popular on TikTok is a testament to the app's power and influence
over today's trends and pop culture. TikTok users across the country are getting
signed to management companies and TikTok choreographers are being asked by
notable artists to promote their songs on their accounts.

 Dance is such a fundamental aspect of the app that many of its dances have
become a ubiquitous part of youth culture today.

 Here's a comprehensive guide to some of the biggest and trendiest dances to

grace TikTok.
 "Renegade"

 By far the most popular dance on TikTok with more than 29.7
million users attempting the fast-paced choreography is the
"renegade." It's perhaps one of the first viral dances to break out
of the confines of the app itself and prompt so many others to
strive to "go viral."
 The original dance was created by Atlanta-based 14-year-old
Jalaiah Harmon in September 2019, and quickly blew up with
students in middle school and high school. Set to the song
"Lottery" by K Camp, Harmon's dance has now been performed
in talent shows and at school pep rallies for TikTok competitions.

 "Number One Baby"

 @balqisyhrudin ♬ Young Thug - Relationship (feat. Future)

- oouumanii_

  

 Although not the official title of this dance, ask any TikTok user
to do the "number one baby" dance and most likely they will start
performing choreography that requires primarily hand and arm
movements ending in holding an invisible baby.

 The dance is at a close second to "renegade" and set to rappers

Young Thug and Future's, "Relationship." The song has spurred
a viral dance movement where 27 million people are dancing to
the lines, "had to take the time to cut 'em off, I need help/I know
how to make the girls go crazy/When you treat her like your
number one baby."

 "The Box"

 @charlidamelio ♬ The Box - Roddy Ricch

  

 Roddy Ricch's song "The Box" gained popularity on TikTok

thanks to the help of 15-year-old Charli D'Amelio, who is by far
TikTok's most recognizable star. D'Amelio created a dance to the
beginning portion of the song around January and continued
posting additional videos of herself performing the same
 choreography. One of her posts alone has 4.8 million likes. It
didn't take long for the trend to catch on and the dance has
currently been attempted by nearly two million users.

 "Supalonely"

 @zoifishh

 not my usual content but this song was too catchy to not make a
dance to LMAO🥺🥺 try it and tag
me !! #foryou #foryour #foryoupage #foryourpage

 ♬ Supalonely (feat. Gus Dapperton) - BENEE

 This dance challenge set to New Zealand-based singer BENEE's

song "Supalonely" was everywhere on TikTok in the first half of
2020. TikTok user @zoifishh's original choreography to the song
has amassed approximately 2.3 million likes to date, and the
dance adds a bounce to lyrics of the song like "while you're out
there drinkin' / I'm just here thinkin.'"

 After @zoifishh's original video, influencers like Charli

D'Amelio and Addison Rae picked up the dance, helping it
explode on TikTok. To date, "Supalonely" has been used in 8.8
million videos.

 "Cannibal"

  

 For those wondering why Kesha's 2010 song "Cannibal" is

suddenly making a comeback, it's thanks to 14-year-old Briana
Hantsch from Illinois. She created a TikTok in February of
herself dancing to the song in her bedroom which has more than
52,000 likes and has already been attempted by more than 9
million users including some of the most viral TikTok stars like
 D'Amelio and Addison Easterling. Kesha herself even tried out
the teen's choreography, posting her attempt on Twitter.

 "Git Up Challenge"

 @ajani.huff

 Please DONT let this flop🤦🏽♂️😂🔥 @davonte.house

##hodownchallenge ##foryou ##dank ##meme ##dance ##lit

 ♬ The Git Up - Blanco Brown

  

 Two half brothers from Utah, 19-year-old Ajani Huff and 21-
year-old Davonte House, have created more than one viral
TikTok dance. Their first dance, posted in May 2019, was to
Blanco Brown's "The Git Up" and has been used in three million
videos on the app. Huff and House's initial video and original
choreography was filmed in a gazebo. 

 "At first [we were] just doing it for fun, but then after we did "get
up" we realized the power choreographers have," House said. 

 Their spry footwork — a combination of country mixed with hip-

hop — started trending but they weren't getting credit. After
commenting on various videos of users completing what became
known as the "Git Up challenge," many in the TikTok community
now know the brothers created the dance.

 "Don't Start Now"

 @thexhan

 pls do my dance🥺
 ♬ Don't Start Now - Dua Lipa

  

 Dua Lipa's song, "Don't Start Now" dominated the first half of
February on TikTok. Teenager Hannah Kaye Balanay posted a
video of herself outside dancing to the song and captioned it, "pls
do my dance." More than 3.8 million people listened to her
request, completing a dance routine that sways to the lyrics,
"aren't you the guy who/tried to," with many popular TikTok
stars like D'Amelio and Easterling posting videos of themselves
doing the dance multiple times. 

 "Say So"

 @yodelinghaley

 i made a part 2. also dojacat if ur filming a music video for this

song and need a dancer, 🙋🏽‍♀️im here

 ♬ say so by doja cat - yodelinghaley

  

 "Say So" by Doja Cat is currently the artist's most popular song
and has already been trending in the charts. Once it blew up on
TikTok with more than 16.8 million people trying out the dance,
the song's popularity only grew. Teenager Haley Sharpe from
Alabama created choreography to accompany the song and said
in her caption to Doja Cat that she'd love to be in a future music
video. The video went so viral that Doja Cat obliged and invited
Sharpe to perform it in the music video that dropped Feb. 27.
Sharpe's own TikTok received 923,000 likes and thanks to her
recent cameo, she has now amassed 53,000 Instagram followers
and has 1.2 million TikTok followers.
 "Savage"

 @keke.janajah

 NEW DANCE ALERT! 🚨 if u use my dance tag me so i can see🤗

@theestallion #writethelyrics #PlayWithLife #foyou #fyp #foryo
upage #newdance #savage

 ♬ Savage - Megan Thee Stallion

  

 Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" was inescapable on TikTok in

earlier 2020, and its dance challenge, choreographed by Keara
Wilson (a.k.a. @keke.janajah), remains one of the biggest to ever
take over the platform. Wilson's "Savage" choreography is
instantly recognizable, from its front-facing clap to its hip sways
to its body rolls. To date, the "Savage" sound has been used in
26.8 million videos.

 "Vibe (If I Back It Up)"

 @yasmeenikole ♬ Vibe (If I Back It Up) - Cookiee Kawaii

  

 One of the more recently trending dances set to Cookie Kawaii's

"Vibe," was created by 22-year-old Mikeila Jones because she
"just wanted to be cute" and thought for sure it would be a
"flop."  

 "Then I got into the vibe of the song because it's super catchy and
felt like it's easy to dance to," Jones said. 
 In one hour after posting to her account [@mikeilajduh] on Feb
6, 100,000 people were trying it. The second hour it was up to
300,000 and before long she had 6 million views. Like the
#OutWestChallenge, this dance is an easier style that begs users
of all skill levels to try. Most users know the dance by a line from
the song, "If I back it up, is it fat enough?" 

 "Out West"

 @nicolebloomgarden

 NEW 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 - JACKBOYS & Travis Scott feat. Young Thug

  

 Richmond, Virginia native Nicole Bloombgarden wasted no time

creating one of the simplest dances on TikTok, "literally the day
it [the song] came out." The song "Out West" by Travis Scott
featuring Young Thug dropped December 2019 and 19-year-old
Bloomgarden's dance only requires raising your arms and
moving your hips. 

 "A strategy I learned is [that] dances have to be more catchy than

hard," Bloomgarden said. "The easier it is to do, the more people
are gonna' do it." 

 Once her video was uploaded she began encouraging people to

do it and commenting on those that were trying it, asking them
to tag her. Usher, YouTube stars Emma Chamberlain and David
Dobrik, and 11.2 million others have tried Bloomgarden's dance.
 "I'm moving too fast"

 @2live.d

 THORW THAT 🍑 BACK Who At playlist @kgsaucyyyy

@realdjtownsend ##fyp ##foryoupage

 ♬ 2liveSoundsmix - 2live.d

  

 In March, another challenge went viral in less than a week. The

"#2liveSoundsmix" challenge with both audio and choreography
created by Deaundre Lamar [@2live.d], has grown to trend
amongst 5.7 million users since Lamar first posted a video of
himself dancing to the mix on Feb. 29. The sound features a line
from another one of his popular mixes, "why is everything
chrome" and incorporates a variety of trending dance moves like
the "woah" and "throw it back." 

 "Go! Go! Go! Who's Next?"

 @nidhi.kat

 I had to simplify it for my brothers but I really said 🦗 in the first

parts

 ♬ Go Go Go Who's Next? - Hip Hop Harry

  

 While falling a bit outside of the boundaries of the elaborate

dances that TikTok is known for, the "Go! Go! Go! Who's next?"
dance brings the same level of energy. Set to a driving beat in
 which the vast majority of the lyrics are just the word "go," the
dance is essentially just a repeated "stanky leg."

 The audio is taken from the children's TV show "Hip Hop Harry,"
As Mashable's Nicole Galluci reported. In the show, there's a
freestyle dance circle set to the catchy beat, and on TikTok,
hashtags like #hiphopharry have amassed millions of views.
"Laxed (Siren Beat)"
@rahofaa.mohammed5

Sun kissed 🙈

♬ Laxed (Siren Beat) - Jawsh 685

A relatively simple dance set to a beat produced by Jawsh 685, the

"Laxed (Siren Beat)" dance involves direct hand movements and a few
body rolls. The song was, at one point, tied to an "embrace your
culture" trend in which people shared examples of their cultural
dress while doing the dance. The dance and audio became widely
popular on TikTok.

Jawsh 685 also notably collaborated with Jason Derulo on a song

using the beat called "Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat)." That
audio has now also become popular on TikTok, with the dance
challenge carrying over as well. 
"Tap In"

♬ Tap In - Saweetie

Saweetie's "Tap In" was one of the biggest TikTok sounds of 2020, and
it was propelled along by a dance challenge choreographed by user
@yodamnmamma, Vulture's Zoe Haylock reported. Synced to the
lyrics of the song — "wrists on glitter / waist on thinner" — the "Tap
In" choreography was a mainstay on TikTok throughout 2020, and to
date, "Tap In" has been associated with over 6 million videos on
TikTok.
