Dancing Chinese Waiters

Dancing Chinese Waiters , also known as Chinese Waiters Dancing , refers to a series of viral videos from TikTok showing a group of male Chinese waiters standing in a line and dancing to the song "Carry the Gun and Let Go of the Sheep" by Half Ton Brother. The dance involves walking forward, pointing a finger and shimmying one's hips and head (among other moves). Although many on TikTok called them waiters because they were shown dancing in a restaurant while wearing all black, the men are instead a popular dance group in China called the Post-80s Dream-chasing Men's Group. The group is viral on the app Douyin (China's TikTok). In early 2024, western TikTokers performed the dance, replicating the original video.
