TikTok Preps for World Domination
TikTok dances continue to garner world attention, especially since families were quarantined at home. The fun, stress reliever is expected to continue to flourish this year.

As more celebrities join twitter and social media influencers start to use the platform, TikTok’s popularity is expected to continue to flourish in 2021, predicts Oberelo, an online resource for entrepreneurs. Fred Astaire Dance Studios expects people to continue to embrace the fun break from reality by showcasing their dance skills.
