The "renegade" refers to a viral dance performed on the social media platform TikTok where people dance to the song Lottery by K Camp. This routine is made up of choreographed arm and upper body movements that are put together. Once the dance is learned, TikTok users will usually proceed to post a video of themselves doing the dance.

  5. 5

    Put hands up in front of you. Do this as if you were signaling someone to stop, but with both hands. Make sure your palms are facing away from you.

  6. 6

    Swing your arm and snap. Keeping hands in fists, swing one arm from one side to the other. Use both hands to snap.

    Lean to the front, side, and back. Keeping your arms parallel with fists at your shoulders, lean your body forward, then lean to the side, then lean back simultaneously crossing your arms in front of you.

  8. 8

    Push outwards 3 times. Face one side and using both hands flat with palms facing upwards and elbows touching your waist, swing your arms back. Push your hands out in front of you. Then do the same thing again, but with your hands closer to your shoulder. From this position, you will move your hands above your head and back down to your shoulders with your palms facing down.

  9. 9

    Snap twice and dab. Snap with one hand while moving that hand away from you. Snap with the other hand while moving it away from you as well. Then dab.

    Swing your arm and cover your face while rolling your head back. Swing your arm in front of you, keeping it parallel to the ground. Roll your head back at the part where the song goes "Woo" while covering your face with both hands.

    Push your hands outwards and breathe out. Breathe out while pushing hands one by one away from your face at the part where the song goes "Ah". Only do this twice, once with each hand.

  12. 12

    Pop your hips. Place your hands behind your head and pop your hip 2 times to the beat. Move your hand from behind your head to your waist, crossed to the beat. Pop your hip once and then uncross your arms, keeping your hands on your waist and pop your hip again. Move one hand behind your head while keeping the other one on your hip and pop your hip again.

    Many people like to modify the dance to suit their own style. If you don't want to do the dab, feel free to omit it! It's entirely up to you.
