Did the 'CoComelon' teacher know about the 'Water' dance first?
It's cool to see people paying reference to Tyla's water dance in mainstream media.
As South Africa welcomes star-studded performer Tyla home, we are giddy with excitement over her immense success in what feels like a short space of time.
But what's even greater is that Tyla's 'Water' dance has left people doing their versions and also trying to master the dance the star has made popular.
We came across a short video on TikTok that showed a snippet from a popular kid's series, 'CoComelon'.

@helenagomessss Not Miss Appleberry doing the water challenge before all of us 😭 @CoComelon @Tyla #cocomelon #missappleberry #waterchallange #tylawaterchallenge #tylawater #fyp ♬ Water - Tyla
The episode of 'CoComelon' showed Mrs Appleberry teaching the kids directions, left and right.
But the fact that this TikToker could see the resemblance to the 'Water Challenge' is a great indicator of what Tyla has done as a pop star.
She has created a culture around the dance where people are paying reference to it as they go about life.
