The dance created by Jalaiah Harmon that went viral on TikTok in 2020 was the Renegade.
Harmon choreographed the routine in September 2019 to “Lottery,” a song by Atlanta rapper K Camp. She first posted herself performing it on Funimate and Instagram before the dance spread to TikTok. Its fast arm movements, footwork, and sharp transitions made it easy for other users to imitate.
The dance became especially famous after popular creators including Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae performed it. That visibility helped make “Lottery” one of TikTok’s defining sounds of the period, but it also created controversy because Harmon was not initially credited as the choreographer.
A common mix-up is confusing the dance’s name with the song title. “Renegade” refers to the choreography and challenge; the accompanying track was originally called “Lottery,” later sometimes marketed as “Lottery (Renegade).” Harmon was eventually publicly recognized and performed the routine at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.
