The rules of the challenge are that the participant needs to dance for 15 seconds or donate a minimum of $10 to UCF. Additionally, they must challenge at least three of their friends and loved ones to partake.

Lopez, challenged by Today‘s Hoda Kotb, filmed her dance challenge video at one of the train platforms at New York’s Madison Square Gardengrounds.

And J.Lo took it to a grander scale. She put her well known choreography talents to the test as she and her dancers broke out in some wild moves in the subway station.

Other celebrities who’ve taken the challenge include Thomas Rhett, Kelly Clarkson, and many more.
