[Lindsay Lohan](http://time.com/5135301/lindsay-lohan-mean-girls-lines-video/) is ushering in a new era of her life and her career as the proprietor of the [Lohan Beach Club in Mykonos, Greece](http://time.com/money/5239262/lindsay-lohan-lawyer-com/), something that will be documented in her upcoming [MTV reality tv show](https://people.com/tv/lindsay-lohan-mtv-reality-show-lohan-beach-club/) that shares the same name as her beach club.

Viewers eager for the show to debut got a taste of the delights that La Lohan will be revealing during her turn as a reality tv star when a video surfaced of Lohan dancing a seemingly choreographed routine (complete with a very dramatic hair flip!) at her club while clad in a glamorous silver jumpsuit. Lohan’s moves captivated fans, including a very enthusiastic Busy Philipps and Kelly Oxford who posted a video of themselves doing Lohan’s dance, which was subsequently dubbed the “Mykonos challenge” by the web.

Philipps and Oxford weren’t the only ones captivated by Lohan’s dance; as others quickly took to the routine.

Lohan herself took to Instagram to set the record straight; while she heartily approved of people taking on her iconic routine, she wanted people to know that they should “Do the Lilo.” Noted!
