Top 5 Fortnite dances inspired by TikTok

#5 - "The Renegade" Fortnite Dance

The Renegade is perhaps the most well-known TikTok dance trend as it was catchy and caught the attention of thousands because of the drama surrounding it. As one of the first viral dance trends featured on TikTok, the dance was done by millions of people on the app including those more famous.

The original creator of the Renegade was not receiving credit for creating the dance as more popular creators were doing it and receiving millions of views. Eventually, though, Jalaiah Harmon's supporters spoke out enough and she gained the attention and the credit she deserved.

The Fortnite emote features choreography by Jalaiah and a snippet of the song "Lottery (Renegade)" by K Camp.

While MACDADDYZ are credited with creating the choreography, The Weeknd's song titled "Blinding Lights" has taken both Fortnite and Twitter by storm. The catchy song, paired with a simple and fun dance, still manages to trend almost a year after its creation.
