The Top 7 Dance Trends Making TikTok Explode Right Now

CRAZE: The 7 Most Obsessed Dance Tattoos On TikTok Right Now

This makes 2020 an especially fruitful period for the dance feed on TikTok. Stick one earbud in and scroll for 30 seconds and you will: a) tighten up your micro-choreography b) deliver break-neck footwork c) bag yourself an easy group move—no studio required. So here are the 7 dance trends that have totally taken over For You Pages atm, what they entail and what songs creators are using alongside them — plus how you can dip your toes in too without spiraling into a vortex of artistic self-critique.

1) Sevdaliza feat Pabllo Vittar En Yseult — High (The “ALIBI” Heels Sway)

Vibe: sultry, hypnotic, fashion-runway energy.

Why it matters: “ALIBI” is a very slow-paced bassline song with vocals that request stylized arm lines and the smallest of hip isolations which you can easily wear heels or socks on a nice smooth floor. The trend originally surged over at the first portion of this season and is back in today as an increasing number of generators are publishing duetable guides along with clubhouse flooring changes.

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • A glidey two-step with hip figure eights
  • Lyrics hit your cheek with a palm shape
  • Cross-Step Back And Slide (Looks Fantastic On Camera)

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • Chest-to-knees, frame-up for the middle of a shot.
  • Walk to the right, cross behind with left, and let those hips drop for 2 counts.
  • Cheek to Collarbone (trace cheek → collarbone with fingertips long vowel note opposite side)
  • Finish with half-turn and look to camera over shoulder.

Tip: Skip the heels (and lace up in sneakers) and walk with a glide; the camera sees capability more than inches. The marketing trackers have also pinned “ALIBI” to the hot dance sound of right now so you should feel pretty good about getting picked up.

2) K-Pop “Random Dance” Takeovers

Vibe: flash mob in a public space meets memory quiz.

Why it’s blowing up: Social Summer of 2025 has turbocharged K-Pop all over the world — thanks to tours, comeback cycles and the hit animated film ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’—with “random dance” meetups going viral from city streets. Mall, dropping a chorus and everyone who knows the choreo jumps. Short vertical videos in the millions.

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • A current title track chorus (snap hand stabs, knee pops, level drops)
  • Leaders change with a fixed song, never rehearsed, just fan muscle memory

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • Know main chorus of 1 song (8-16 counts).
  • Seam or pair up a meetup clip; when it chimes in, Do Your Chorus
  • Tag the track and city so local crews will be able to find you.

Bonus: According to family media surveys, K-Pop is ranking as a top genre with Gen-Alpha, helping maintain the pipeline of new dancers (and views).

3) Jersey Club Bounce Lines

Vibe: fast feet, chest pumps and bouncy cuts.

Why It’s Blowing Up: Jersey Club never went away, but TikTok 2025 is swamped with club edits — literally anything gets the club kick treatment (around 130-140 BPM, bed squeak optional). Dancers weave heel toe exchanges, knee dips and rock aways into 10–15 second breaks.

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • Rock da boat chest hits
  • Against: Heel-toe, tap back, mini hop
  • Quick kickout by sliding back in reverse

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • Begin in profile; Give two chest hits to the attack mode of the kick.
  • Tap your left toe back, & together.
  • Slide back and snap to camera for the sample.

And if you’re having trouble with your footwork, just search ‘Jersey Club tutorial’ in the app — there’s a gazillion 10-second break downs ready to be saved and repeated.

4) Amapiano Groove & Glide

Vibe: aqueous, grounded, flirty — a tale told in the hips and ankle rolls.

How it’s blowing up: The global takeover of Amapiano refuses to loosen its grip; rhythm is replacing the rigid counts per minute. You can count on some ankle shuffles, shoulder feints and traveling hip rolls. TikTok containment has turned to innovation as well. Popular instructors are posting 20–40 second mini tutorials with calls to “repeat 3x.”

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • Pounce/”cat step” weight shifts
  • One way the mashed-up ankle side glides
  • Shoulder feint + knee knock on percussive fills

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • Bend knees, relax shoulders.
  • Walk, walk right; hip roll on tiny upbeat.
  • Bring across right-heeled lead doing toe-heel every other count; move to a diagonal.
  • Smile. Amapiano: It reads the best when you look like you’re having as much fun in the pocket.

Cultural context: With Amapiano rising to the mainstream (hello Tyla!) — this groove has likely been “got” already.

5) The Mirror-Sync Couple Trend

Vibe: cute, chaotic, and ultra-shareable.

Why it’s taking off: No-lift filming (bathroom mirror or bedroom), dual effort to operate as one while locking eyes with the camera. There are hand trace to shoulder, knee pop together, and then mirrored spin that never is in perfect sync —and that’s the fun.

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • Palm Trace → Shoulder hit in unison
  • Knees POP on the snare
  • A half turn to each other at the conclusion

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • Pick an 8 count where the snare is clear.
  • The leader quietly counts and the follower follows in real time.
  • Take it if you flub, bloopers are the catch here with this trend and all.

6) Home Improvement — The “Anxiety” Fresh Prince Pair

Vibe: 90s nostalgia, sweet big-grin energy.

What has sent it skyrocketing: Will Smith and Tatyana Ali recreated their pilot episode dance on Instagram to Doechii’s “Anxiety,” and the Internet did what the internet does. The concept is straightforward—a person dancing to music in their headphones, and another sneaking up and imitating them from behind. This is simple to reproduce with a hall and any pair.

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • Shoulder groove / head bob of the listener
  • Partner back shadow mimic
  • A patched together laugh in the credits (yes, that counts).

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • Keep one dancer in frame with “headphones” (real or faked).
  • Two 8ct of groove; second dancer enters on 5.
  • Point or peace sign + snap to camera.

7) Sync Slap Squad (Ripple-Chain Group Bit)

Vibe: comic start into hype refrain

Why it has exploded: Group trends are back. It kicks off with a fake slap that gets ‘passed’ along, but before you know it — cue the friends!— who then move in perfect rhythm & answer back, shaping into the ultimate ‘i just learned how to do this combo.’ The gag is so hilarious with easy enough choreo that even sports teams, offices and summer programs are taking on the challenge.

Signature moves you’ll recognize

  • Rhythmic ripple (the “slap” chain)
  • Two counts of point-point-down
  • Step Out, Pump, pump, clap four counts

Quick start (30 seconds)

  • 5–8 people, camera locked
  • Send the fake slap out; Receive it in front (you pass on 3 not on count)
  • Then all at once, drop into the chorus combo in the next measure.

How Creators Are Getting Views (Without Dancing For Hours)

Hook in 1 second. Frame the movement + Stand on a shape not with feet facing forward, TikTok lingers on first frames.

Micro-choreo — waist up, full body — everything that impacts footwork. Many of the above trends read best from the ribs down — don’t hide your details. (For group bits, lock down the tripod and shoot a bit wider.)

Count your music cuts. Most of the sounds we used this month have been pre-trimmed to 8 or 16 counts. Loop them: dancers will feel any song in the body when it is untouchable!

Caption for search. Name it with the song + move name and a 1-2 descriptor (ex: “ALIBI heels tutorial easy 8 count” or Jersey Club beginner combo) This allows the clip to surface alongside the trend hubs in native search.

Post duetable angles. And, for partner or group trends —upload a second cut with some negative space on screen left/right so that others can duet or mirror easily.

Sounds & Scenes You Will Hear/See In A Loop

  • “ALIBI” – Sevdaliza ft. Pabllo Vittar & Yseult (heels & glide edits; clean lyric shapes)
  • Current comebacks plus some K-Pop choruses and random-dance meetups are pumped up by tunes from the K-Pop Demon Hunters OST.
  • Jersey Club remixes of pop songs: if it sounds like you’re bouncing on a bed that’s making noise, plus the kick drum for days.
  • Amapiano shakers and log drums | I expect to see some nice ankle work and hip rolls shoulder travels here!
  • Doechii – “Anxiety” – Fresh Prince duo callback.
  • Cueing of the ripple gag in group audios or with a count-in (or chant — “go crazy,” “now pass it,” etc.)

Take-Aways: choose your niche and create something today.

I’m a novice: Record the Mirror-Sync Couple or Sync Slap Squad — both are pretty forgiving, amusing, and really do the numbers.

Grooves are my heart: Give the Amapiano 8-count a go above- just keep soft knees and let your shoulders rip.

A footwork nerd: Stitch on a Jersey Club tutorial, flex a 12-count combo — short, sharp, replayable.

For me as a fashion person: The ALIBI trend provides outfit changes and silhouette shots at its best.

Fandom: Throw back to a local Random Dance meetup vid from your city and duet your best impression of the chorus.

The bottom line

The result is a hybrid micro-macro choreo (ALIBI), genre-footwork sparks (Jersey Club, Amapiano), mirror-sync nostalgia chunks (Fresh Prince ‘Anxiety’), K-Performance sliver, listicles as dance, K-pop impromptu home dance squads or random dances in public settings, thrift-savvy DIY throwback comfort content akin to fall comfort and beyond mirror matching content. These do not require a studio. Choose a lane, stay within 8–16 counts of it and allow the edit — framing, loop and caption to do as much dance work as the movement itself.
