The “Deuces” dance on TikTok by @slimm.aj consists of the woah, rolling the dice, and crossing arm motions. It is performed to a chopped and screwed remix of Chris Brown’s “Deuces” ft. Tyga and Kevin McCall. These videos began growing in popularity around July 25.

Lyrics:

TikTokers might come across the “Deuces” dance being credited to another creator, @dance_dona, after she shared a tutorial on how to perform the dance without tagging the original creator.  In another video, she added a chest pop to the beginning of the dance. This has caused controversy online, with many TikTokers unsure who credit should be owed to.

In spite of the online credit debacle, the dance is incredibly popular. There are over 390,000 videos attached to the sound, many of which feature some of the most popular creators performing the choreo.
