10 Popular TikTok Dances That Are Easier Than You Think

What better way to let off some of that quarantine-fatigue than by nailing one or more of the most popular TikTok dances? 

OK, we can think of a few better uses of your time. But still: From revolutionizing sex ed to making us reconsider our relationship to millennial beauty, in 2020 the app went from being a buzzy talking point to legitimately shaping pop culture as we know it. And one thing TikTok is wholly responsible for is the steady stream of new dance routines taking over your social media feeds. 

Whether you’re looking to jump back in after a brief hiatus from the app or a total newbie to the dance craze, we’ve got you covered with 10 popular TikTok dances to try at home. Best part: These don’t just look easy to copy, they actually are. Try one, or all.

1. Cut The Check:  Mahak Hamid 

Created by Mahak Hamid, this dance perfectly embodies our collective quest to bring some serious cash flow into 2021. The routine looks best when sped up, but Hamid created a detailed tutorial to help you get the basics down. 

2. Out West: Nicole Bloomgarden

If it’s been a minute since you’ve put on your dancing shoes (slippers?), then this easy dance created by Nicole Bloombarden should be the first on your list to try. The routine quickly went viral, with Kylie Jenner even joining in on the fun with a modified version. 

3. To The Back: Millah T
