Nia Long Participates In The Viral “Backup Dancer Challenge”

On Tuesday, October 21, celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins took to Instagram to share a clip from her apparent session with Nia Long and her friend Daphne Wayans. Furthermore, Jenkins captioned the clip, “So how did they do? I told @iamnialong and @daphnewayans that they don’t have to do their last set if they would be my back up dancers! #Love#stephaniemillschallenge #goodvibes”

To note, the “backup dancer challenge” seemingly sprouted on social media by way of creators telling their friends and family to dance in their background while they lip-sync to a song of their choice. In this clip, Jenkins, Long, and Wayans also appear to incorporate the “Stephanie Mills challenge,” which has gone viral through a remix of her 1980 hit song, “Never Knew Love Like This Before,” making waves on social media.

Check out how Nia Long got busy in response to her friend’s challenge below.

Before Participating In The Viral “Backup Dancer Challenge,” The Actor Spilled The Tea On Her Relationship With Ime Udoka

Before participating in the viral “backup dancer challenge,” the actor spilled the tea on her relationship with Ime Udoka. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this month, Long spoke exclusively with The Cut and opened up about co-parenting with her former fiancé following the 2022 cheating scandal that ended their romance.

At the time, Long shared that there’s a lot of “healing” to be done in their relationship. But she added that she and Udoka have a “mutual respect” for one another.
