Looking for things to do at home?
If you’re feeling bored or want a change of routine while staying safe at home, how about learning a viral dance?
Millions of people are on the popular app TikTok scrolling through countless entertainment videos. The app is so addicting! It’s one of the most popular, trending and fastest-growing social media platforms in the world and if you remember Vine, it’s sort of the same concept in which people create short videos.

Get inspired by checking out some of the popular dances below.
