The Brief: Several dances set to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's song "WAP" are going viral on TikTok.
DEEP DIVE
As soon as Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion dropped “WAP,” TikTok dancers started choreographing moves to go with it. Now, there are several different popular WAP TikTok dances spreading on the app.
At the time of writing, one of the most widespread dances is by TikToker Brian Esperon (@besperon). This dance includes a series of elaborate moves, including the splits and on-the-floor twerking.
@besperon DAY 2 of doing my new dance to WAP! Wait for the end!!! 🤸🏻♂️ @iamcardib @theestallion
@besperson also choreographed another WAP dance for those of us who aren’t equipped for such acrobatics.
@besperon NEW SONG = NEW DANCE! Anyone else love this collab with @iamcardib & @theestallion? #WAP #cardib #megantheestallion #fyp
TikTokers are also dancing to creator @devantelatorreee’s WAP moves.

@owami_mafokate Share if this should be a trend and tag who you think would kill this challenge if I ever made it one, idk I’m shy🤦🏽♀️
@jawn_joss also developed a dance to WAP that goes with the beginning of the song.
@jawnnjoss Made a dance to the only part I liked LMAO 🤍 #newdance #fyp #foryoupage #foru #foryou #ThisIsBliss
In addition to trying these dances, TikTok creators are using clips from WAP to show off their own moves, act out skits, and to share their love for the song. Inevitably, remixes of Ben Shapiro reading the lyrics of WAP have also inspired dances, memes, and roasts of his unsolicited comments about women’s bodies:
@alluringskull Dc: me | Song: Ben Shapiro 🥰 #fyp #foryou #moodflip #MobileGame #newfitfeelin
@teabagsocialist I choreographed a dance and learned the words tho this man spitting bard

While there’s currently no single WAP dance that all the big TikTokers are doing, the song’s influence on the app is already evident.
