Users get to explore famous TikTok dances every day, and they make for a large percentage of one's growing profile as a creator. Away from the business side of Tiktok, dance and dance challenges are wholesome, fun moments on the app.

One thing to also acknowledge is how these dance styles helped bring back old-time songs and made new music go viral among Millenials and Gen Zs.

Here's a list of famous TikTok dances that have users in a frenzy.

The Rover dance became famous on TikTok when users got wind of it earlier in 2022. The careful steps include motioning as though in a car and turning slightly with your arms stretched before you.

The famous TikTok dance got its name from British rapper S1mba's 2021 song Rover. The TikTok version was gleaned from the River remix with DTG. It is also the lower and slower version.


9. Next Song

Although it carries the name of pop star Dua Lipa, it is sung by a different artist and in another genre. Rapper Jack Harlow released Dua Lipa in March 2022 as a song on his sophomore album, Come Home With The Kids.

The famous TikTok dance that goes along with the song involves a mix of some Renegade moves and calculated hand movements to Harlow's lyrics.


7. Twerkulator

The Twerkulator dance is the perfect fast-paced move TikTokers displayed to the 2021 hit song from JT and Yung Miami of the City Girls duo. Although the song alludes to someone great at the twerk dance, the famous dance was tweaked a bit.

Dancers who jump on the beat make some hip movements, turning left and right before launching forward with salsa-like moves.


6. X Ft J Balvin

A few seconds to minutes of slow circular waist movement is enough to deliver Nicky Jam's Spanish sound featuring J Balvin. The song, released in 2019, had TikTokers making slow whines and gaining thousands of views.


5. Honest
