The mannequin challenge is the new viral craze that is sweeping the world. Everywhere you see people... pose as still as possible... for no apparent reason?
It all started in a classroom in Florida, last month, was popularized by a hip hop duo called Black Beatles, and then First Lady Michelle Obama jumped on the trend, too. And now the Arab world is all over it too.
1. How it all started
The first mannequin challenge started off by a student, Emili from Jacksonville, Florida.
"One day I just went to the front of the class and stood there. That's when my friend A'laynah said, 'Hey, you look like a mannequin.' Then my friend Bre'Onna and Jasmine joined and we started doing all these crazy poses," said Emili.
And so it began.
