The incredible popularity of the Fortnite video game has led to a new craze known as “flossing”.
Social media is alight with clips of the dance routine, which has been around for a while but has exploded since it was featured in the chart-topping video game, which has more than 40m players worldwide.
Fortnite players can get their character to perform the Flossing dance to goad opponents or celebrate a win.
The Battle Royale version of the shoot-em-up is available to download for free. In it, up to 100 players fight it out to the death until one is crowned the winner.
Our colleagues at North Wales’ Daily Post have rounded up how the floss became a cult hit.
What is flossing?
The act of ‘flossing’ is a peculiar dance, involving a lot of fast arm and hip swings, mimicking the action of using a huge, invisible strand of dental floss. Somehow, that’s become a thing.
Stranger Things star Millie Bobbie Brown is among those who have got involved.
And it’s actually a lot harder than it looks.
The tricky part of the Floss is the coordination needed to do it.
So, if you want to show your younger counterparts you’re ‘down with the kids’ - or you want to embarrass them - here’s a step by step guide to get you flossing in no time at all.
How to floss
Essentially, to floss, you need to swing your hips in the opposite way to your arms and then back again, and then repeat on the other side.
Step one
Face front, shoulders forward, feet slightly apart, make fists with your hands.
Step two
Swing both arms to the left, keeping them straight, while swinging your hips to the right.
Step three
Keeping arms straight, pull your them back towards your body and to the right of your body in a sharp smooth movement, with one arm finishing in front, the other behind, while thrusting your hips to the left at the same time.
Step four
With arms to the right, hips to the left, repeat the above two steps moving your arms to the left and hips to the right in one movement.
Step five
Repeat all of the above, increasing speed as you get more confident.
Step six
Show your kids your newly gained skills and watch them marvel at your smooth moves and trending knowledge. It might even stop them doing it.
