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.
