Are emergency rooms ready for a surge in patients with "WAP" Dance-related injuries?
“Never doing the WAP dance again,” sniffed a Cardi wannabe named Allison (@lib_bbbbbbb) on TikTok. She was hospitalized after dislocating her left knee attempting to do the choreography for the viral dance created by Brian Esperon.

TikTok users are reporting back and leg injuries as well as bruises and carpet burns caused by the dance, which was inspired by the racy “WAP” video by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.

Esperon asked if anyone else suffered injuries – and he was flooded with responses.
“You’re not going to be able to wear shorts or a skirt for at least a week because your legs are covered in bruises,” warned @tonkatrace, “and you’re also going to pinch your neck. But you will feel super sexy – and I don’t think that’s going away.”
Another user, @itsyagurl.mitzz claimed she “somehow broke my toe nail off and sprung my pinkie.” @krisdahn1216 said she pulled a leg muscle and @milliwonka1 said she “can’t walk or move my arms” two days after doing the dance.

“I twisted my knee!! I was in pain for like 3 days,” revealed @jazzyyy.xx3.
One TikTok user shared advice for others hoping to try the choreography. “Listen if you ain’t flexible or don’t know how to split don’t do it,” commented @clarissa_finesse.
Check out the "WAP" Dance by Esperon, who has since come up with choreography for an easier version:
