As millions worldwide are at home practicing self-isolation, [quarantine](https://time.com/5800379/coronavirus-quarantine-morality/) or [social distancing](https://time.com/5800442/social-distancing-coronavirus/), Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are here to remind you that we’re all in this together. Literally.

The two [_High School Musical_ legends](http://content.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1854099,00.html) (who are friends in real life, so please don’t pit Sharpay and Gabriella against each other) have both been sharing their experiences while self-quarantining in the hopes of curbing the [coronavirus pandemic](https://time.com/5803980/coronavirus-ethics/) outbreak.

Tisdale, who oftens posts [dancing videos on TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleytisdale?lang=en), shared one very memorable [piece of choreography on Monday](https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleytisdale?lang=en): “We’re All In This Together,” the finale from the first _High School Musical_ movie. “My workout while on self quarantine. I can’t believe I remembered it,” she said.

Fans felt the moves were fabulous, with one commenting, “This is the most iconic Tik Tok ever.” Others quickly requested that the star re-enact some of Sharpay Evans’ most iconic moments, including “Bop to the Top” and “Fabulous.”

Her co-star, Hudgens, shared a side-by-side with Tisdale’s clip on her own Instagram, with one catch. She wasn’t doing the memorable “We’re All In This Together” moves, but was singing with a bottle of wine.

“Well, it’s come to this,” Hudgens [said on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/B90g4dAhPio/?igshid=1gl2u3y9dvrqg). “Maybe I start getting into TikTok.”

Hudgens later [drew criticism online](https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2020/03/vanessa-hudgens-backlash-saying-people-dying-from-coronavirus-inevitable) for separate comments she made in an Instagram Live about the spread of coronavirus, saying that it “is terrible, but like, inevitable?”


The actor apologized for her comments in a statement posted to Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

> [](https://twitter.com/VanessaHudgens/status/1240014528366043136)

“I realize my words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation our country and the world are in right now,” she said. “This has been a huge wake up call about the significance my words have, now more than ever.”
