TikToker makes African auntie dance tutorial

In another development, a creative TikToker @enoody took over the internet with his electrifying dance moves that imitate how African aunties dance at events.

In the TikTok video, @enoody was dressed in a red long-sleeved hoodie with a black bandana covering his head and a pair of black trousers as he gave the tutorials.

Sharing the steps, he noted that before one could completely do the moves, they would have to first point two fingers, squeeze their face and tuck in their lips.

He added that once those gestures have been made, the next step is to go down, move your body and hands in opposite directions.
