Dancing Queen! Ciara Praised For Debuting Choreography That ‘Stuck’ With Viewers

The matter came up as a result of Pop Crave inquiring, “What’s a dance move or piece of choreography in pop culture that has stuck with you?”

In turn, the replies and quote tweets were inundated with noteworthy choreography routines.

From MC Hammer and Aaliyah to Beyoncé in “Sweet Dreams” and Lady Gaga in “Bad Romance,” there were plenty of examples of noteworthy stars servin’ up some iconic moves.

We recorded this video on VHS off BET that summer and didn’t stop rehearsing until we had it down packed.

However, there was one star who swiftly stole the show: Ciara.

Ciara fans began to cite some of her noteworthy performances. One user proclaimed the “Ciara walk” exhibited in the “Goodies” video had him “in a chokehold.”

A similar move she pulled off for the “One, Two Step” vid was also given a shoutout. In fact, someone went as far as declaring, “Missy and Ciara changed my life.”

idk what dance move this is called, but when i tell you after seeing Ciara do it, it had me in a chokehold growing up https://t.co/ayhy6O83JH pic.twitter.com/O4OgXyxYIe

Another noteworthy moment involved “dat car scene,” — which involved Ciara crawling on a vehicle during “Oh,” a collaboration with Ludacris.

Another collaboration that featured Chamillionaire, “Get Up,” also received plenty of love. After all, “It’s Ciara time!”
