“American Boy but Shibuya is There Too”

If you’ve been on TikTok long enough, chances are you’ve heard this quite a few times in dance and other videos.

This dance is a bit more intricate as in; you have to have your lower body make gestures in sync with your steps. It looks effortless on the eyes but would take some time to master. It’s still pretty much beginner-friendly, though.

“Cannibal” by Kesha

This music video by a once-popular artist, Kesha, was revived on TikTok sometime back. The user ya.girl.bri.bri97 has choreographed the moves for this and has posted a video here.

It makes use of two cute moves where you make a gesture of a heart and a platter while in the dance.
