Pikki Pikki dance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pikki Pikki dance is a viral South Korean cheerleading dance routine, popularized in 2022 by the cheerleaders of the KBO Baseball team Kia Tigers, based in Gwangju.[1][2]
The dance is simple:[3] it entails moving each hand in turn in a thumbs-up position up and down.[1] It is named onomatopoeically after the style of its music.[4]
The music is from a remix by Indonesian DJ Prengky Gantay of "My Lecon" by the K-pop group jtL from their album Enter the Dragon (2001). The original song was written by Tony Ahn. "My Lecon" had been popular in Indonesia since its release. Gantay's remix was first popularised as part of a different TikTok challenge in 2021, the Olive Beat Dance Challenge, which then became popular in South Korea in 2021 as the Escalator Dance Challenge.
