-On our last show before break, we did a bit with Addison Rae
where she taught me eight viral TikTok dances.
Now, we recognize that the creators of those dances
deserve to have their own spotlight.
So right now some of the creators will join me
to talk about how their dance went viral
and then perform the dance themselves.
Up first, we've got
Mya Nicole Johnson and Chris Cotter,
who created the viral dance to Cardi B's "Up."
Hey, Mya. Hey, Chris.
-Hi. -Hello.
-Thanks for coming on "The Tonight Show"
all the way from Houston.
-Thank you for having us. -Please.
How long have you guys known each other?
-It's been about -- It's gonna be two years.
-What is it like to choreograph these dances together as a team?
-It's really fun, especially when we're both really creative.
So when we put our dances together,
it just makes it even better.
-And you came up with the dance to "Up" by Cardi B.
What made you go with "Up"?
-So, basically, we already knew
that we were linking up prior to the video.
And so we already knew that Cardi B had just came out
with a new song called "Up" and it was going viral.
Everyone was, like, listening to the song.
So we knew that if we were to make, like, a challenge to it,
it had potential of going viral.
-Now, Cardi B herself even reposted it.
How great was that when you saw what she did?
-That was really exciting.
She posted our video two times on her Instagram
and then one time on TikTok.
So yeah, that was a great experience.
-I love it. Alright.
You're gonna perform your "Up" dance for us right now.
Whenever you guys are ready, take it away.
Thank you for being here.

[ Cheers and applause ] See, that's how you do it.
That's what I'm talking about.
Mya Nicole Johnson and Chris Cotter.
Check them out on TikTok @theemyanicole and @cchrvs.
Thank you guys so much for coming on.
-Thank you so much.
-Next, we have the creator of the Corvette Corvette dance,
Dorian Scott, a.k.a. Yvnggprince Dorian.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Hi. How are you?
-I'm doing good, buddy.
Thank you so much for being here.
I appreciate it.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I know -- Are you from Philly?
-Yes. I'm from North Philadelphia.
Actually born and raised, and my mom
is always telling me to put school first,
so I want to let y'all know that I'm a freshman
at the University of Delaware, studying visual communications.
But I also a model and can dance.
-There you go. [ Cheers and applause ]
School first.
I agree. Your mom's right.
You created the Corvette Corvette dance,
which is to the song "Adderall (Corvette Corvette)"
by Popp Hunna.
Now, have you been dancing for a long time?
-Yes, honestly, I've been dancing
since before I can remember.
But I started off as a gymnast.
I finished third in a region from New York to Virginia.
And then I started focusing more on my dance.
And fast-forward to TikTok,
I'm making a lot of dance videos on there.
And I used to get like 500,000 views, a million.
So the artists actually hit me up
and asked me to dance to their song
and make it a challenge.
-Now, where do you go from here?
What do you hope to be doing in the next few years?
-So I want to be an all-around performer, entertainer.
Will Smith and Kevin Hart, they're like my inspirations.
I love their journey, and one of my dream roles would be to play
a live-action version of Miles Morales as Spider-Man.
-Spider-Man? -Yeah.
I told you I was a gymnast,
so you know I got the moves and stuff.
And I think I think I look kind of good in tights.
[ Laughter ]
-Alright, there's your next Spider-Man right there.
Now you're going to perform
the Corvette Corvette dance for all of us.
Please, whenever you're ready, buddy,
and thank you again, Dorian.

-Up next, he created the Laffy Taffy Remix
and she came up with the dance.
Here are Fly Boy Fu and Indii.
[ Cheers and applause ] Hi!
-Hello. How are you? -Look at you.
Good to see you guys.
Fu, you made this remix about 10 years ago,
and now it became huge on TikTok.
How did you find out that it had gotten so popular?
-I was on social media a while back, like,
before my parents had passed away.
And I heard A-DuB, the producer here, put this beat out.
And he was like, "I need lyrics for this, this beat."
And I liked the beat. It was really, really catchy.
So I went in the studio,
in my parents' studio, and then I just closed my eyes
and I started to freestyle.
And that was the first take.
I just sent it over to him. -One take.
-And he made the track. -Wow!
And, Indii, you came up with the dance.
Did you know it was going to go viral
or you're just hoping and you're just like,
"I'm just gonna try this"?
-I made the dance just because,
and then two years later, look, it's on TikTok.
It's viral. I'm like -- It's shocking, because, like,
I wasn't even expecting it to go viral.
-How long does it take you to come up with a dance?
-Like about five minutes.
I had made it on the bus because I went to school,
and then when I got home,
I recorded the dance and posted it.
-You say you made it on the bus?
-[ Laughs ] Yeah. -Oh, my gosh.
That's fantastic.
I want to see the dance if you don't mine.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's Indii performing
"Laffy Taffy Remix" by Fu.
Take it away.

Next up are the creators of the Blinding Lights dance,
Greg Dahl, Adam Snyder, and Nate Nale.
[ Cheers and applause ] Hello, guys.
-How are you doing? -Nice to see you.
Now, you all share the TikTok handle @macdaddyz.
How do you all know each other?
-So, actually, first and foremost,
thanks for having us on. We really appreciate it.
But to the question,
we're actually roommates for the past two years
at Immaculata University in Pennsylvania.
But that's kind of how the whole friendship started
and the account really was created through that.
-Now, how did the Blinding Lights dance come to be?
'Cause I heard it started with the foot move,
which is basically about as far as I can go.
But what is the story behind the whole deal?
-Yeah. So I've actually been like
a huge fan of The Weeknd for a while.
And when that song first came out, I was listening to it
all the time, playing it at school.
And just one night, we were dancing to it.
And the foot move, actually,
that was like our go-to dance back then.
So we put that in there and we added some hand movements,
and it just kind of went together perfectly.
-You're going to perform the Blinding Lights dance
for us now on "The Tonight Show."
Are you guys ready?
-Oh, we're ready. -Go for it whenever.

And finally, please say hello to the creator of the Savage dance,
Keara Wilson, a.k.a. Queen Keke! [ Cheers and applause ]
-Hello, everyone. -Hi, Keara.
Thank you so much for being here.
-Thank you for having me. -Now, for over a year,
everyone on TikTok has been doing your dance
to Megan Thee Stallion's song "Savage."
Can you take me back to the day that you created it?
Like, what led up to you posting it?
-Absolutely.
I just had moved to Texas from Ohio to be with my sister.
So, she was about to have her baby.
At that time, I just had graduated high school
and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life.
So basically, I needed an outlet to destress.
So I downloaded TikTok.
I've been dancing for 10 years.
And I seen that people were doing a bunch of dances
on TikTok, so I wanted to try it too.
So I made one up, you know?
And it took me about 30 minutes to choreograph
because I kept changing the ending.
Originally the ending was really hard.
But I'm actually glad I didn't change it.
-I think the whole thing is hard.
Can you show me what was the hard ending?
Could you show me what that was like?
-Yeah.
♪♪
-That's what I'm talking about. That's my favorite part.
That is so great.
What is it like to be able
to see your dance catch on and become viral?
-I never expected to it blow up like it did.
I just did it for fun, honestly.
Then I just kept seeing it grow.
Celebrities were doing it. Little kids were doing it.
It was the best.
But I would have to say, seeing my dance bring joy
to people throughout quarantine was definitely the best part.
-Yeah. We love it too,
and I'm so happy that you came on the show.
I also want to say congratulations are in order.
You're engaged. [ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about.
Now, how much pressure is on your fiancé now?
-Oh, my gosh, a lot because I'm going to
make up some cool dances, and he can't really dance.
[ Laughter ] He has rhythm.
-Good luck, buddy! -He has rhythm.
[ Laughter ]
-It's gonna be fun.
Everyone's gonna look forward to that.
Thank you so much for coming on our show.
