The Shoot Dance originated from American rapper BlocBoy JB in his 2017 song 'Shoot' and gained massive mainstream recognition following the 2018 hit 'Look Alive' featuring Drake. Characterized by a rhythmic kicking motion and synchronized arm pump, the dance became a cultural phenomenon when it was added to the popular battle royale game Fortnite as the 'Hype' emote. Beyond the gaming world, the Shoot Dance is widely used across social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram as a visual shorthand for victory, excitement, or simply 'vibing.' It remains one of the most recognizable dance trends of the late 2010s, symbolizing a blend of hip-hop culture and digital gaming trends.
