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.
