So. You Wanna Break The Internet.
If you’ve been on the internet for more than five minutes, you’ve probably stumbled upon the latest TikTok dance phenomenon: everyone’s shaking, shimmying, and sassily slithering to **Megan Thee Stallion’s** hit "Mamushi." And if you haven’t yet, don’t worry—you’re about to. Because let’s be honest, in the grand hierarchy of travel skills, learning viral dances is right up there with remembering your passport and navigating confusing airport signs.
If you’ve been on the internet for more than five minutes, you’ve probably stumbled upon the latest TikTok dance phenomenon: everyone’s shaking, shimmying, and sassily slithering to **Megan Thee Stallion’s** hit "Mamushi." And if you haven’t yet, don’t worry—you’re about to. Because let’s be honest, in the grand hierarchy of travel skills, learning viral dances is right up there with remembering your passport and navigating confusing airport signs.
First, let’s break down this wildly popular **"Mamushi" dance**, which is somehow inspired by the deadly Japanese pit viper but is a lot less lethal (unless you count death by embarrassment). The dance involves a series of exaggerated body rolls, snake-like arm movements, and a strategic drop to the floor that you’ll attempt but may need ibuprofen for afterward. If you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner serpent while wondering what your knees were like in their youth, this is the moment.
To really make it pop, you’ll want to add a few unique touches. Maybe you’re in Tokyo in front of a neon-lit street or at the base of Mount Fuji. Nothing says "I’m international and cool" like dropping it low with a landmark behind you. Or, if you're feeling brave, join the dance in Harajuku while sporting some over-the-top street fashion—because why not confuse the locals and tourists alike?
Want to go viral? Don’t forget to tag your video properly. Try hashtags like #MamushiMoves, #MeganTheeStallionDance, #SnakeVibes, and because this is TikTok, throw in something bizarre like #DanceLikeViper.
Remember: the internet is a wild place, so even if you don’t go viral, you’ll have made a solid attempt at being a global dancing sensation—and that’s worth at least a few likes, right?
