The challenge starts with dancers running in the shape of a circle before incorporating synchronized arm waves, pointed toes, and spirit fingers. It normally ends with families jumping together or lifting their lead dancer (usually a parent) into the air.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, a few nurses took some time on their break to attempt the challenge. The Weekend shared @NurseSavyRose’s video on his own TikTok account, thanking her and her colleagues for their work during the global crisis. His post has reached over 9 million views, alone.

@theweekndMusic can bring joy during dark times. Thank you to the doctors and nurses risking their health and safety everyday for us. XO❤️ @nursesavyrose♬ The Weeknd – Blinding Lights – gregdahl7
