“He Stole the Show”: Internet Impressed As Woman’s Brother Becomes Her Backup Dancer in Viral Trend

• A TikTok user showed herself and her brother taking part in a trend where her younger sibling acted as her backup dancer
• In the viral clip, the woman noted that she had promised to give her brother something if he participated
• The teen's dance moves impressed thousands of social media users worldwide, including the South African rapper Cassper Nyovest

As part of the backup dancer TikTok trend, budding content creator Dolly Rosa had her brother dance in the background, promising him money to spend at the tuckshop. While the video may have been made for fun, the siblings, especially the young man, captured the attention of millions.

Although Dolly uploaded the post on 2 October, 2025, it continues to make the rounds on the popular social media platform. The duo danced to DJ Reg's Jersey Club remix of Britney Spears' classic hit, Gimme More. As Dolly lip-synced, her brother pulled out epic dance moves that many TikTok users have since replicated in their own videos.
