There’s a new dance challenge taking over TikTok based on the hit 80’s movie Footloose and the movie’s original star gave it a shot!
The “Footloose challenge” has one participant hold the other before “dropping” them to the tune of “Footloose.”
@abbiieexo21 DM to book us for your wedding reception #footloose #footloosedrop ♬ Footloose – Kenny Loggins
@jordynnehahn Only took us about 16 times #footloose #footloosedrop #partnertricks #dance #fypage ♬ Footloose – Kenny Loggins
The trend has become so popular that TikTok has included a warning that participating could result in bodily harm.

This hasn’t stopped users from trying it, including Footloose star Kevin Bacon and his wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick.
The couple showed off their version on Instagram with Kevin writing, “I don’t remember this being part of the original #Footloose choreography 🤣 but figured we’d give it a spin.”

Be careful if you try this challenge yourself and opt for a soft place to land!
