KANIMAA DANCE TUTORIAL | VIRAL KOLLYWOOD DANCE
14Ready to groove? In this step-by-step Kanimaa dance tutorial I break down every shoulder-roll, kuthu-stomp and wrist-twirl from Santhosh Narayanan’s 2025 Tamil hit “Kanimaa”—the second single from Suriya & Pooja Hegde’s film Retro that sparked the #KanimaaChallenge on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Released on March 21 2025, the wedding-floor folk-pop banger shot up the charts and flooded feeds with duet chains and dance covers almost overnight.
Since then, thousands of short clips have dubbed it “the easiest Tamil hook-step of 2025,” but if you’ve tried copying it off a 15-second reel you know those heel-toe pivots and shoulder pops can be sneakily tricky. This video slows everything down, counts it out on 8s and shows you exactly how to nail the viral groove—whether you’re a first-time dancer, a Kollywood music buff or just looking to add some festive kuthu flair to your moves.
