Feb. 26, 2026. United Kingdom. All those “dancing nurses” videos from March 2020 are being re-examined. Investigative journalist Jacqui Deevoy has been investigating the videos for years. The journalist has repeatedly asked nurses and doctors if they participated in the videos or know anyone who did participate. It seems that no British nurses seem to be able to identify any of their coworkers who participated.
On Deevoy’s X thread, commentators report that a handful of the videos were uploaded to TikTok by legit nurse groups in the weeks AFTER the initial barrage of dancing nurse videos. Other commentators recall reading online ads seeking actors/dancers who looked like amateurs prior to 2020. Still others recall vans pulling up with ‘nurses,’ directors and stage lights–from out-of-town. Almost no one recognizes anyone in the videos. And many of the videos appear to have some professional videography (including tracking cameras and even drones filming from above).
This begs the question: How did all those dozens of dancing-nurses videos get produced? And when?
