If you’ve seen Netflix’s Matilda the Musical, you’ve been treated to one of the best choreographed dance routines of the year! Since its release, this particular scene has spurred a TikTok challenge in which users from all over are trying their hand at the dynamic dance moves.

The dance scene in question takes place as the school children revolt against their tyrannical headteacher, Miss Trunchbull, expertly played by Emma Thompson.

In an interview with Variety, the film's choreographer, Ellen Kane, said that she wanted the sequence to feel explosive – “like a flood, like dams bursting". She had no idea the dance would blow up in the way it has, saying “I know that dancing is popular on TikTok, but I didn’t really understand quite how popular." Now that same choreography is being replicated all over the app with impressive precision.
