Short answerLearn the routine in sections, set the phone at waist height with full-body framing, play the track from the same phone you film with, do a full practice run, then film several takes and pick the best.

Film it
- Full body with space above and below.
- Light from the front.
- Music from the phone you’re recording on.
Post it
Use the platform’s version of the sound so the challenge is linked.
