A quick note on the medium: Audio is central to TikTok. Instead of passing around photos or jpeg formats, the sounds get used over and over. The word “sound” can be used to describe a song, a clip from a TV show, any audible component. It’s also the easiest way to find the dances — click on the sound used in the video. Some dances are scored to actual clips from songs, such as the hugely popular Doja Cat “Say So” dance, and others use more obscure remixes.
“Say So” by Doja Cat .youtube[data-uri="www.thecut.com/_components/youtube/instances/ck7xpxyu6002k3h6726b017ru@published"].border-top:before { content: 'Watch'; } If Laura Dern can do this one, so can you. It’s short, sweet, and requires a lot of attitude. I learned it after drinking two glasses of wine, but that’s not necessary. The key moves are the body roll and the punch, which you’ll find in a lot of TikTok dances.
“Cannibal” by Kesha .youtube[data-uri="www.thecut.com/_components/youtube/instances/ck7xq34u6004e3h67u20ebj2c@published"].border-top:before { content: 'Watch'; } I have wanted to learn this dance since I first saw it. My first attempt was after a night out and a video of me practicing was subsequently sent to my friends. Embarrassing, I know, but it’s an occupational hazard when you decide to commit to TikTok dancing.
“Candy” by Doja Cat .youtube[data-uri="www.thecut.com/_components/youtube/instances/ck7xq3xa5005y3h67xlijqlyz@published"].border-top:before { content: 'Watch'; } Another dance where the lyrics and the moves pretty much correlate. But in this one, you have to throw it back — a central move in the TikTok oeuvre. Your torso does a body roll while your leg kicks back. You’re throwing “it” back, and “it” is your butt.
