A fresh collaboration on MTV OK DanceOke
Imagine being featured on Bruno Mars’ That’s What I Like music video! To promote the new season of its popular programme, MTV OK DanceOke, MTV will be hosting a series of challenges on Musical.ly that ultimately gives fans the opportunity to be featured on actual episodes of MTV OK DanceOke. To join, fans had to follow a specific dance move from artist music videos selected by MTV Asia. MTV Asia would then select the top 50 videos in terms of popularity and the accuracy of the dance move, finally interweaving dance moves from fans and the actual videos.

As promotion for the latest season of the MTV show Ridiculousness, MTV partners up with Musical.ly to host a series of fun challenges to promote the stunt.
