The best dance accounts you should follow on TikTok

  • TikTok is the home of a huge variety of dance content.

  • Professionals and amateur dancers alike post routines on the app.

  • Here's a list of 10 accounts to follow where you can watch creators dance the night away.

Back in 2020, TikTok was almost synonymous with dance content, as users took part in dancing crazes that exploded on the platform.

The app has since expanded its relevance to include a wealth of content about pretty much every topic under the sun, from beauty to crafts and personal finance.

But dance content is persistently popular on the app. Professional dancers and amateurs alike still take part in trends or share content of themselves performing, and viewers seem to enjoy them.

If that includes you, here are 10 TikTok dance accounts you should follow.

NoelGoesCrazy

Noel Robinson is a hugely popular creator on TikTok with 36 million followers.

The dancer, whose TikTok username is @noelgoescrazy, is well-known for a signature format, in which he walks up to people while wearing a hoodie and pretends to steal something from them, before he begins to dance, later taking off his hoodie to reveal his face and hair, at which point onlookers appear to recognize him.

It is unclear whether the videos have been staged for entertainment purposes, but the other people who Robinson appears to pretend to steal from often join in on the dancing in his videos.

One video pinned on the creator's account, which was posted in February, shows Robinson dancing to "Calm Down" by Rema and features two people who appear to be dressed as police officers. It has been viewed over 369 million times on the app.
