Milkshake AI Dance

"Milkshake" by Kelis came out in 2003, and two decades later it is still one of the songs TikTok returns to. In 2019 it was the first sound of the Triangle Dance Challenge, which Know Your Meme says was called the "Milkshake Challenge" for its first five weeks. In 2025 it came back again when the girl group KATSEYE danced to it in a campaign video that went viral, and streams of the original jumped, as Billboard Brasil reported.

Our Milkshake template is a solo routine with a lot of attitude. It starts side-on, bouncing and pulling the bent arms back and forth, then snaps to face the camera in a wide stance with a hair whip. From there it turns smooth: hip sways from side to side, arms swinging across the body, a hand pointing to the head, a fluid arm wave toward the camera and a final pose with the arms out to the sides.

In US Google searches, "milkshake dance" averages a few thousand searches a month, with peaks whenever the song resurfaces.
