Every couple of months there's a new viral dance craze. We've had the Harlem shake,Dubbed Milly rock, dabbing, the whip/nae nae, the mannequin challenge, and how could we forget about flossing? Now we've got the "hit the woah" challenge, and it's taking the internet by storm.
The trend started on TikTok and has since spread far beyond the platform. For anyone not versed in this phenomenon, hitting the woah is when a dancer makes a quick, small circular motion with their fists and leans into a freeze position when the beat drops in a song.
Here is an instructional video on how to execute this move.
