The Git Up Dance Challenge became a viral sensation back in 2019, thanks to Blanco Brown’s catchy hit, The Git Up. Blending country and hip-hop, the song came with built-in dance instructions like “slide to the left, slide to the right,” and “do the two-step, cowboy boogie,” making it perfect for a social media challenge.
It didn’t take long for the dance to explode online. People across the country—and around the world—posted videos of themselves following the fun, upbeat routine. Even celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Ciara, and the Harlem Globetrotters joined in. Blanco Brown helped fuel the craze by dropping a tutorial video and later released a remix featuring country star Thomas Rhett to keep the momentum going.
