The ‘Trump dance’ is taking the sports world by storm

The ‘Trump dance’ is taking the sports world by storm

The so-called ‘Trump dance’ is taking the NFL by storm.

Several players celebrated touchdowns or other big plays this past weekend with renditions of President-elect Donald Trump’s signature dance move, including Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

“I’ve seen everyone do it,” Bowers told USA Today after showing off his moves on Sunday.

What is the Trump Dance?

The Trump dance stems from Trump’s work during the campaign.

During rallies, Trump often did a quirky dance on stage, which led to viral video clips.

The Trump dance involves balling your hands into fists at your sides and then extending your arms one at a time. Your entire body should swing back and forth as your arms move.

USA Today describes it as a “stiff boogie.”

NFL players aren’t the only athletes getting in on Trump’s dancing trend.

Trump’s signature moves have also appeared in college football games, at an LPGA tournament and at Saturday’s UFC heavyweight title fight, which Trump attended.

Fighter Jon Jones, who did the Trump dance after winning the title belt, let Trump hold the belt during his celebrations, according to The Washington Post.

Here are some sports-related Trump dance clips making the rounds on social media.
