What is the Tyla “Water” Dance Challenge on TikTok?
Who is the creator of the Tyla “Water” Dance Challenge? Well, that would be Tyla and her choreographer Litchi. The dance was actually in the music video for her song “Water,” and the pair smartly took it to TikTok in the hopes that it would blow up and it did just that.

Make me sweat
Make me hotter
Make me lose my breath
Make me water
Make me sweat
Make me hotter
Make me lose my breath
Make me water

The dance is actually performed with your back facing the camera. You basically keep your hips moving to the beat the entire time, and then when the lyrics say “sweat” you wipe “sweat” off your bro.
You then reach the left arm out to the side and hop on the left foot simultaneously while the other leg fails out and then gets to a “stanky leg position.” You then bounce your butt to the drum beat while pouring water down your back.
You go back to the first position with your hips moving constantly, and instead of jumping onto the other foot, you snake your upper body to the opposite side to be in back that “stanky leg position.” Once again you bounce your butt to the music’s time and pour water on your back.

In this hilarious version, @carliegrisham had her husband record the dance for her, laughing at her and being very confused about what was happening. Carlie used a wine glass instead of a water bottle spilling on the floor instead of her back. The caption joked, “My husband humbled me so fast when I tried to do this water trend for him.”
