If you have never been on Tik -Tok you may not know what is happening, or should I say where have you been hiding?! Tik Tok (formerly known as musical.ly) is a social media platform for creating, sharing and discovering short music videos, think Karaoke for the digital age. The app musical.ly was used by young people as an outlet to express themselves through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip- syncing. Tik Tok allows you to share short 15 sec videos.
Tik Tok is one of the biggest crazes currently with young people. The Dance Tik Tok videos have a selection of quick and easy arm and foot patterns combined into short sequences. Although I say easy, it may take you some time to replicate the movements at speed.
Not Sure? The following video links will go through a selection of movements linked to songs, which you can try to learn.
