Russell Dickerson has arguably delivered the hottest country song of the summer with “Happen to Me” and part of its global success comes from the infectious dance that accompanies it. Fans everywhere are trying to master the moves, but according to Russell, it all started with a little freestyle fun.

Russell was just goofing around in a hotel gym when he came up with the initial moves.

But it wasn’t until a weekend beach trip with his wife Kailey and her friends that the dance really took off.

RD says, “There’s no tutorial. People are just doing it because it’s a freestyle.”

That’s where the appeal of this viral dance comes from…fans didn’t need instructions they just jumped in and added their own spin, making it a perfect example of how spontaneity can spark a worldwide craze.
