JoJo Siwa and mom Jessalynn put their dance knowledge to the test
Siwa takes a break from Dancing With The Stars to play our game, "Dance Fad Or Fib?" with mom Jessalynn
Whether or not you consider Dancing With The Stars “appointment television,” you’ve likely seen clips of teen music sensation JoJo Siwa absolutely tearing up the dancefloor in the competition’s latest season. Alongside dance partner Jenna Johnson, Siwa has expertly executed the Cha Cha to Gaga, dropped jaws as a jazzy Pennywise The Clown, and given the long-running ABC reality series some of its most-watched routines of all time.
Her dominance of the competition is no surprise considering she’s been performing most of her life. Siwa first appeared with her mom Jessalynn in Lifetime’s Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition when she was just 10 years old, then later joined the cast of the network’s infamous Dance Moms before going on to become a social media maven, a teen pop star, and a multi-faceted lifestyle brand unto herself.
In other words, JoJo is very busy. Yet somehow she’s found time to launch a new series with Peacock, Siwas Dance Pop Revolution, in which she and her mother hold auditions for the teen pop group that will open her next tour.
In support of that series, The A.V. Club decided to put JoJo and Jessalynn’s dance knowledge to the test with a game called “Dance Fad Or Fib?” We presented the mother-daughter duo with a series of dance moves, and they had to tell us whether it was real, or if it was a fake one we made up (bonus points if they came with some fake moves for it anyway). Will they be fooled by “The Alfredo”? Do they know about the Macarena-wannabe “The Ketchup Song?” Watch the video below to find out.
