Although Mr Raymond started dancing alone, he has now amassed a fervent fan base that will travel across Singapore to join him in his dance.

Dancing TikTok man uploads videos every day with his fans

The latest TikTok sensation from Singapore goes by the handle @raymondl88.

Although he started posting TikTok videos in late-2021, his now-iconic dance routine only gained traction this April.

One of his first videos to go viral, amassing over 570,000 views at the point of writing, is of him breaking into his dance routine amidst a crowd of people crossing a junction in Ang Mo Kio.

Since then, he has uploaded videos of the same dance routine every day. Sometime in April, he started getting people involved in the videos.

Fans join dance, request photographs

Most folks who make appearances in his videos are students. While not necessarily familiar with the dance, they do their best to follow the routine.

Although a fair few of them feel paiseh about dancing in public, it’s wholesome seeing them give their all into the dance.

However, there are still fans clamouring to meet the man himself. They are even requesting him to head down to specific locations so fans could join in on the action.

There’s even a cute encounter of Mr Raymond signing a student’s PE T-Shirt. The girl ran off gleefully after having her shirt autographed.
