The dance is being dubbed ‘The Beckham Test’ but where did this new trend come from?

What is The Beckham Test?

The Beckham Test came about after the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham.

At the end of the heartwarming series, David puts the song on and Victoria started dancing.

She makes eye contact with her husband who makes his way over to her and immediately falls into step.

The romantic moment went viral and people in the comment sections suggested it should be a benchmark for other relationships.

TikTokers and celebrities started to put their unknowing partners up for the challenge.

To pass the Beckham Test, their other half has to channel David and start dancing with their ‘Victoria’.

What is the Beckham documentary?

Beckham was named the best sports documentary of all time after it was released in October last year.
