248,000 times in a matter of days.

I posted it to my Snap story and then later on at night to Twitter ...
it exploded and went everywhere," Olivar told ABC News, adding that she
"did not expect it to do that."
"I
was up all night because the notifications would not stop coming and
it's unbelievable how a six-second video got to this where we are now,"
she added.
Olivar
said that she has received a lot of comments saying that the video was
doctored or that she used ropes or even a glass box, but assures that it
is, "totally, 100 percent real," and went broke down how you can pull
off the dance move at home on "GMA" today.

"So
you pat ... not too high, because then you have to step up that high,
so I do maybe a foot off the ground maybe," she said. "Pat it and
remember where your hand is."
2. Flex your foot and 'stand' on the box

Next,
Olivar said to stand up and "place your foot right there," where you
initially patted, "as if you are about to stand on a box." She adds that
you have to keep the foot that is stepping on the imaginary box still
during the entire time you move your other foot. "Keep your foot flexed
like if you are standing on a box," she said.
3. Jump up with your other leg

Olivar
says to then jump up off of your other leg and bring it higher than the
leg that is suspended on the imaginary box. "You have to have enough
force and leg strength" to get your other foot higher than the foot on
the box, she added.
"It's
all just kind of one motion, just keep this leg in the air the whole
time in the same exact spot," she added of the leg placed on the
imaginary box.
"As
you can see, when I came over, this leg was still here as if it planted
on the box," she said of her suspended foot. "So, that's about it for
my invisible box challenge. Hope ya'll can do the same at home!"
