TikTok is known to be the platform where easy to learn and simple dance routines are created for other TikTok users to copy.

Black TikTokers were not happy over the fact that the source of one of the most viral dances in the social media age was not given credit for the trending dance routine. The creator of the infamous Renegade dance, Jalaiah Harmon wasn’t credited many times for her viral dance challenge and now TikTok users are beginning to make up for this by using dance credits on the short-video creation platform.
