Overview

  • NBC’s Law & Order: SVU social media accounts reshared Mariska Hargitay and Kelli Giddish performing Vann’s choreography and credited him for the original routine.
  • The New York Liberty mascot Ellie the Elephant and the Savannah Bananas baseball club have integrated the dance into recent game-day entertainment.
  • Vann has fielded requests to choreograph routines to other TV themes, including The OC and Grey’s Anatomy, and hopes to collaborate with Hargitay and Giddish.
  • The trend underscores TikTok’s algorithmic power in turning spontaneous user-generated content into mainstream pop culture sensations.
  • The routine’s surprise appeal stems from Vann’s impromptu bus stop performance set to Mike Post’s seldom-danced SVU theme.
