The Woah (or 'Hit the Woah') is a viral dance move that originated in the late 2010s, largely attributed to the Dallas, Texas dance scene and popularized by artists like 10k.Caash alongside social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The move involves moving one's hands in a circular motion and sharply 'locking' them in front of the body on a specific beat. In meme culture, the dance is frequently depicted using animated characters—most famously Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants—to signify a moment of sudden celebration, confidence, or rhythmic perfection. It has evolved from a simple dance challenge into a versatile reaction image used to express success or a perfectly timed response to good news.
