Have you ever thought of being able to air walk? The viral TikTok slick back dance has been testing people’s air walk skills, from athletes, TikTokers, and K-pop idols. Isn’t it worth knowing if there are any tricks on how you can do this dance? Well, good news, because we may have what you’ve been searching for and impress people with your video doing it!
TikTok Slick Back: The Air Walk
Imagine being able to move like floating in the air. This TikTok Slick Back dance had just done that, and now, people are going wild for it! Honestly, we don’t think there’s any way easier to pull off this dance, so there’s nothing better than practicing it repetitively. Along with that, sliding and timing are also the keys to doing it smoothly. And certainly, you want to know the basics first before practicing. Luckily, we have a few steps you can follow to start trying if you’re a TikTok Slick Back natural.
- All you have to do is ready your sliding skills. In the first step, lift your right leg (just like you’re marching, but not too high), and with force, stretch and step your toe down and slide it to your right.
- Second, do the same using your left leg. After lifting and stepping your foot down, slide it to your right as well. This would give the illusion that you’re air walking around. Then, continue doing it alternatively.

Is it a slick back or jubi slide?
With the rise of this new dance trend on the platform, TikTok people have been arguing whether this is called the slick back or jubi slide. While it rose to fame by being called slick back, other users believe it is the jubi slide.
- Jubi slide dance move originated from TikTok user @jubi2fye way back in 2022. The dance move is like moonwalking but sideways, making him look like he’s sliding across the floor. He used Aye Bay Bay by Jersey Anniversary as the sound.
- But this year, user @kiingjojo.inc posted with the same move. The difference? King Jojo used a different sound, A Pimp Named Slick Back by LAKIM. Hence, the TikTok Slick Back dance.
Whatever it is called, we can say that user @jubi2fye may have started that dance move trend on TikTok. But, of course, there’s another person that the TikTok world can give credits to: Korean user @wm87 .4.
- Their TikTok Slick Back dance video earned over 200 million views on the platform. It also reached 23.1 million likes, 2.1 million saves, and more than 130,000 comments. It definitely looks like they’re just floating in the air. Have you checked it out?

K-pop idols have entries, too, and user @beatricebng did the honors of ranking and compiling them. Many boy group members tried it, while we’ve only seen MAMAMOO’s Solar and Moonbyul do it (and failed). With all those trying so far, the smoothest Slick Back award goes to EPEX AMIN!

TikTok dance challenges aren’t really challenges without those who can’t perform them. And here goes some who thought the challenge would be easy. We thought it was doable, too, but not everyone is talented in dancing (specifically in Slick Back).

All you have to do is enjoy doing it! It’s better to perform it as smoothly as possible so you can take the time to practice until you perfect the TikTok Slick Back, AKA Jubi Slide!
