Attention to those with bad knees: If the #BussItChallenge proved too hard on your joints, there’s already a new viral TikTok dance challenge perfectly suited to you. Named after the challenge’s creator, Junebug, the goal of the “Junebug challenge†is to keep it moving — arms, back, hands — and do it wherever you can, including but not limited to on roofs, on top of cars, and in the middle of fields, all to the track “Beat Box,†by Floridian trap rapper SpotemGottem. The dance moves in question are a more kinetic if not spastic version of the “Shmoney Dance,†which originated in 2014 with Rowdy Rebel and Bobby Shmurda. Below, we rounded up some of the best takes on the Junebug challeng so far from folks like rapper Saweetie, the Browns, and Lebron James. Now, “run and get started†on making your own version, but try not to cause bodily harm.
