What is Gymskin’s Into The Groove TikTok trend?
The trend essentially involves dropping your shoulders and dancing to Into the Groove, just like Gymskin does in the clip. Given that Madonna’s classic banger is one of the greatest dance-pop records ever made, it’s not too hard to join in. Just remember her sage advice from the song: “Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free.”
Who is Gymskin?
Gymskin is a British fitness influencer/online personality who’s especially popular on the livestreaming platform Kick. He also has 1.2 million followers on TikTok.
He’s responded positively to the chart resurgence he sparked, telling his followers: “I think that’s great for her, man. I think she is a great artist. She is absolutely iconic, I love her tracks, I love her music.
“So, the fact that me dropping the shoulder, and knowing that one of her tracks is in my favourite playlist, that’s a w[in] getting her track back into the charts.”
Who’s done the viral Into The Groove social media trend?
Influencers including Cruz Beckham, Fin Morse and Angela, and George Baggs (who did it with his mum) have already got involved. At this stage, the only question is “who’ll jump on the trend next?”

When was Madonna’s Into The Groove released?
Into the Groove was released in July 1985 as a standalone single. Though its release was tied to Desperately Seeking Susan, Madonna’s first major foray into acting, it’s technically a demo version of the song that appears in the film. The single version that is enjoying a resurgence now is slightly different.
Where did Madonna’s Into The Groove peak on the UK chart?
Into the Groove became Madonna’s first (of 13 to date) Number 1 singles in the UK, spending four consecutive weeks on top. When it stormed back into the Top 40 last Friday (March 6) at Number 40, this marked its first appearance on the Official Singles Chart since 1986.
