About
The Banana Shake Dance is a TikTok dance set to "Banana Shake" by Bao. The dance comes from the original choreography of the Wonder Girls song "Tell Me," and was popularized by an edit of the K-pop group NewJeans in December 2022. The dance, which involves rhythmically moving your arms and waist at the same time in opposite directions, became notably popular on TikTok and YouTube in early 2023.
Origin
The dance comes from a portion of the choreography for The Wonder Girls song "Tell Me" (shown below).
