@shakira #TeFelicito ya esta en la calle, @rauwalejandro ♬ Te Felicito – Shakira & Rauw AlejandroThis particular choreo was used in a hilarious challenge she took part in on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where she and the famous late night TV host faced off to see who could recreate viral TikTok dance moves.
However, there was a catch to this competition — the stars could only watch the choreography one time before making their attempt.
The first dance was the ‘Money Don’t Jiggle’ trend. Shakira basically nailed the routine perfectly, but Fallon stumbled a little bit in his recreation.
The second dance was Shakira’s own Te Felicito choreography. She obviously had no trouble pulling off the robotic moves — and Fallon, surprisingly, managed to pull off the dance after just watching it once, earning a round of applause from his celebrity ‘opponent.’
