What is the Keep On Steppin dance trend and how do you make one?

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

The Keep On Steppin trend is a group dance clip where a few people repeat the same simple steps together. In Rift, add a clear full-body photo of each dancer, tell Spark, Rift's video agent, to copy the steps from a clip you share, check the Draft and tap Make for a video of up to 15 seconds.

Add a full-body photo of each dancer and share the trend clip; Spark copies the steps onto your group. Two to four people side by side is the usual line-up.

How the format works

Details of this trend change from one clip to the next, so check the version you want to copy.

Why it works

Matching moves are satisfying to watch, and a group gives each friend a share of the clip. It is also easy to copy, which is why it spreads.
