Swaying from side to side with minimal effort? Only an icon like Rihanna can make it become a viral dance trend.

Even though it’s been a month since it happened, we still can’t stop thinking about Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. The moment had sky-high expectations given how it was her return to the live stage in years. But Rihanna, being the queen that she is, went left when everyone expected her to go right. Not only did she reveal that she was expecting baby number two, but she also delivered that low-key yet mesmerizing energy we all know and love.
While having a bun in the oven prevented her from going all out, she still did her thing with the help of Parris Goebel’s Royal Family Dance Crew. And speaking of dances, it was the moves that served as a highlight of the performance, from that iconic Rude Boy remix to the dancers getting down to Work.
But one move, in particular, has been making the rounds on TikTok. The trend in question grabs audio from We Found Love’s beat drop during the Halftime Show. But instead of jumping or going crazy, Rihanna and her dancers swayed from side to side. The juxtaposition of the bombastic music and mellow moves make for the oddest of pairings. And thanks to G-Force’s Jorge Jahnke, it’s become a dance challenge on TikTok that anyone can do with his audio being used in tens of thousands of videos all over the world. Here are a few of the local stars and creators who showed off their swaying prowess.

We would just like to say that they filmed this outside the venue of our Big Bold Brave Awards Party. So, it’s already a winner in our book.
