- (FBE) Today, we brought in a bunch of professional dancers
to react to some of the biggest dance trends and challenges
that are on the app, TikTok, and have you recreate a few yourself.
- I'm back! - Oh, goodness. Let's go. (laughs)
♪ (hip hop music) ♪
- Yup!
- Hey. - She's so good.
I did a couple of videos with Enola, and she's so funny.
- Yes. Ee, ee.
- Yeah, that's cold.
- (laughs and snaps) Oh, I mean, I've seen this dance,
but yeah, that's some dope stuff.
- Okay, hold on!
You better go with the outfit! Oh, she working that hair. Okay!
- Ooh. Let's go, cowboy. (snaps) In the overalls!
- Okay, come on, cowboy! - I have not seen him do this.
Why is he killing it? - Okay!
You better get it! Oh, oh, oh. (laughs)
That one got me hype. - This is why I love TikTok.
It brings so many different people together.
It's like, "Oh my god. You better get it
with the overalls." Ee!
- (FBE) This is based off of a viral dance
from the crew Royal Family at a dance competition in 2015.
- The best dance crew in the world. - I actually competed there that year,
and they did a whole performance. And I tell you, the entire place,
we all came to watch, and we're just like-- jaws dropped.
- Parris Goebel! That's the choreographer
of, yeah, Royal Family. She's amazing.
- (FBE) Are you ready to try this one?
- Yeah, let's do it!
♪ (hip hop music) ♪
- (FBE) Here's our next trend, which is usually done
to the song "Say I Yi Yi," by the Ying Yang Twins.
- Let's go. Okay. I've heard this song,
but I don't know if I know this dance.
♪ (hip hop music) ♪
- Ay! - Yeah, this one's
really fun and easy. - It's short, and it's just nice
for people to do it, non-dancers and dancers.
- Ay, it's Maiko! - Ay! Ay!
Oh! - (chuckles) His little brother
is so cute.
- Okay, get it!
Oh!
- (snapping) Ay. (laughs and claps)
Yes, the twerk at the end? Magnificent. Chef's kiss.
- (FBE) Now it's time for you to give this one a try.
- Hopefully I bring the dance justice.
♪ (hip hop music) ♪
- (FBE) This is a popular dance trend, where people tend to use
the duet feature in TikTok so that they can dance
alongside themselves. - Interesting. Perfect for quarantine,
you know, dueting yourself. - I love her.
I did a couple videos with her. She's great.
- Her dances are so cold! - I really like this one.
- This is cute. - Okay!
- This one was one of my favorites, though.
I saw it, and I was like, "I need to learn this right away."
- Hey! Oh, of course, Charli. - Hair in a ponytail. It's different.
- (laughs) Why are they like...? Their faces are so exaggerated.
I love it.
- Um... (laughs)
You're not gonna have me do that, right? (laughs)
- (FBE) Are you ready to try - Yes, I am. I think so.
(nervous) Ah. Yeah. Let's go.
♪ (hip hop music) ♪
- (FBE) Now, we had to change the song, but this next dance
is usually performed to "Adderall" by Popp Hunna and is known
by the lyrics, "Corvette, Corvette." - Oh! ♪ Corvette, Corvette ♪
♪ Hop in a [censored] jet like that ♪ Ah, I like this one.
- Yeah. Okay! - Ayy.
♪ (upbeat electro music) ♪
- I actually know this one. My friend showed me the other day.
She's like 30, and she was showing me this dance.
♪ (upbeat electro music) ♪
- Oh, jeez. We got everyone doing this dance.
- Dang! This challenge was crazy. Everywhere.
- It's the dice roll. The dice roll makes every dance.
If you don't throw a dice roll in a TikTok dance,
then you don't want it to get famous. - I like this one.
This one's hype for me. Everybody can dance to that.
- (FBE) That was our last dance, so are you ready to do this?
- No.
No, I'm just kidding. Yes! (laughs) Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go.
♪ (upbeat electro music) ♪
- Ayy. (laughs) - (FBE) And finally, as a dancer,
how impactful do you think TikTok has been on the dance community?
- Most of the dance trends now come from some type of social media.
Things like the whoa and dabbing all came from-- at least,
to my knowledge, from social media or got popular from social media.
And now, artists put them in their choreography.
It's impacted the dance community a lot.
And I think without social media, the dance industry
would be very different. - Every day, I think I shoot
like three TikToks. Normally, I would be doing school,
actually training and stuff. But now that you have so much time,
you're literally locked in your house. What else are you gonna do?
You just grab your phone, set it up, and whoa.
(chuckles) And that's it. - You obviously have to play the game,
and you're gonna be doing more dances that are catered
towards TikTok. It's kind of sad.
I always say it in every episode. Us professional dancers will 100%
get overlooked by dancers that are on TikTok,
but it just is what it is. You have to play the game.
- And it's great that TikTok has now become a platform for dance.
Dance is very therapeutic. Everybody should be able to do it.
Everybody should want to be able to do it for their mental health.
It's beautiful to have an app and to have people really still
keeping that alive, because I think it's so important.
