In one video that hit social media right before the pandemic swept across the United States, a group of police officers stands in front of a camera as they prepare to dance their hearts out, and they do – until the K-9 dog takes over and entertains the world with its dance moves.
During the summer of 2019, “The Git Up” challenge became extremely popular. It was created by Blanco Brown, whose initial video amassed more than 43 million views in a matter of months. He even created a tutorial video to show other people how to perform the dance move so they could upload their own videos to YouTube and other social media channels.
Because Blanco Brown’s tutorial video made it very easy to pick up the dance moves, many people started performing in front of the camera. In a matter of months, The Git Up challenge was accepted by groups across the country, but it was particularly popular among groups of staff members in hospitals and in firehouses. But it was also popular in at least one police department, as became clear from the appearance of this video.
