The last dance takes over New York it's “Reemski,” and its Brooklyn creator and the Bronx rapper whose song it's linked to are ecstatic about its popularity.
If you are beaten on the latest dance trends in New York, you've no doubt heard of “Reemski.” Gaining viral popularity thanks to posts with over 1 million views and counting on TikTok and X, formerly Twitter, the dance has taken on new forms, such as as a joke about the MTA's performance, and forbidden in the Russian Republic of Chechnya as part of activities that are very fast. Even Kai Cenat has figured it out. The creator of the dance, Kareem Gadson, is happy with all of this.
“I just got tired of doing the dances I was seeing out here,” Gadson said of creating the hit dance, which he says he did in 2016. “So I decided to do my own.”
The aspiring rapper from Brooklyn calls his dance “Reemski” because the footwork is similar to that of downhill skiers. “As you go down, you have to move sideways like you're skiing,” says Gadson. The dance is usually performed to Cash Cobain's track “Fisherrr”, a collaboration song with Bay Swag, and requires the dancer to get down on the ground by bending their knees as the song's bass drop kicks in while moving their chest and shoulders . in unison. “If you ever see someone skiing and then watch me dance, then you're like, 'Okay, I see what story you're talking about.'
For Elijah Hicks, the man who used “Reemski” in a joke about Jesus coming out of the grave, he suggests not getting too caught up in the technical parts of the dance. “You just roll your shoulders, but the point is the fall,” he said. “Falling is what makes it fun. Everything is like a movement. Anyone can do it, because it's so easy to do,” before adding, “Your grandma and grandpa could do it. All they have to do is roll their shoulders.”
Hudson is particularly pleased that the dance has not attached itself to infamy. “I like that it has nothing to do with violence,” he said in an interview. “It's a lot about having fun and enjoying yourself.” As for Cash Cobain, he enjoys the dance due to the relative fame of his single, calling the time for “Reemski” to go viral “perfect.”
