A solo traveller named Resego Mosang taught a group of Americans the Magumba dance in slow motion, capturing social media attention. However, instead of doing the original fast-paced choreography, they effortlessly did it in slow motion.

While the internet admired their participation, they were more focused on the handsome men.

Resego uploaded the video on her TikTok account on 17 August, 2025. A few of the men in the group followed her moves, and another deadlocked man put a spin on the original dance moves. He didn't realise he had to point in a specific direction.
