Mashable: It's been flooding our TikTok feeds!

If you've been scrolling through TikTok and Instagram recently, you're likely to have come across the infectious 'Water' challenge set to the R&B tune by South African singer Tyla. At just 21 years old, Tyla has garnered fame for her viral hits like 'Been Thinking' and 'Getting Late,' and now she's making waves again with this captivating dance trend.

So, what exactly is the TikTok 'Water' challenge? It all started with Tyla herself, who hails from Johannesburg, South Africa. She began sharing videos of herself performing her hit song 'Water' on stage, and these clips have since garnered millions of views on the platform. What distinguishes this challenge is its inspiration – a style of dance known as Bacardi, rooted in South Africa and stemming from the amapiano music sub-genre. In essence, it combines elements of twerking and belly dancing, delivering a spirited workout for those who attempt it.

However, credit for the original dance routine that has captivated TikTok users goes to Tyla's choreographer, Lee-ché Janecke. In the routine, Tyla showcases extraordinary hip movements while gracefully pouring water down her back—hence the challenge's name, 'Water'. Now, the trend has accumulated over 200 million views on TikTok, with countless individuals attempting to replicate the captivating moves.

For those looking to master the 'Water' dance, TikTok comment sections offer valuable tips, including the recommendation to wear loose and flowing attire to accentuate the graceful movements. While practice is undoubtedly key, it's challenging to match Tyla's finesse, as she seems to execute the routine effortlessly.
