A type of heavily synthesized pop music performed by groups like A Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, The Busboys, Thompson Twins and Eurasure. Mang believes people giving their video their own spin is what made the trend so popular. People have been repeating the dance and editing themselves into the original video and writing on some text of something they’re proud of. The video features Mang and five of his friends (Planess, AaronCantHoop, Akua, Tyler and Bryansanon). When the friends decided to make their next video, they ended up going with “Alors on Dance” because it was a simple sound with a smooth beat. “From that point on, that shoulder move was in almost every dance,” said Mang, “so we just incorporated that into it then went one way four times then turned and went the other way four times and it came out smooth.”

In that video, Planess added a little shoulder move. Mang said his friend Justin Planess had experimented with making TikTok dances before and came up with a dance for the song “Beatbox Remix” by Young M.A for a previous video. “By the time it was at 50 million, I knew we really did something here – all of my friends are stoked and can’t believe it either, truly a blessing,” he said. Mang said when his video hit 1 million views, he thought “nice, need em,” as it wasn’t the first time he had posted the video and danced to that same song. He told BuzzFeed News he joined TikTok in March last year and usually posts dancing videos. The TikTok was posted by 19-year-old Usim E. It also became a trend as people began superimposing themselves dancing along with an achievement or goal. Soon, the video became a viral sensation, surpassing 120 million views. In June, a group of friends filmed a TikTok video of themselves dancing to a slow-mo version of Stromae’s “ Alors on Dans.”
