The 'Go Crazy' Dance Trend: Step-by-Step Breakdown of Tiktok's Biggest Moves
By James H. Sterling
Q1: Who choreographed the original viral dance to the song?
A1: The routine was created by dancer Mya Nicole Johnson (@theemyanicole), who published the original sequence to TikTok in May 2020 before it expanded into a platform-wide trend.
Q2: What is the underlying sample used in the track?
A2: The song samples the classic "Drag Rap" (Triggaman beat) released in 1986 by the Showboys, a cornerstone instrumental foundation of Southern hip-hop and New Orleans bounce.
Q3: How do I improve timing when performing the routine on camera?
A3: Focus on initiating the hand rolls directly on the lyric "crazy" rather than the initial beat drop. Keep your weight on the balls of your feet to switch directions smoothly during the hip pop.
