(CNN) When the beat drops, these health care workers know it's all about the footwork.

Medical professionals across the country are participating in dance challenges on social media. It's helping them share smiles and blow off steam during the demanding coronavirus pandemic.

In scrubs and swag, nurse Kala Baker lip-syncs and dances in social media challenges to hits like "Savage" by Meg Thee Stallion at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri.

Baker says her challenges, which she films after clocking out, help create solidarity with health care professionals across the country, especially in states hit hardest by coronavirus. She sees it as a way to "bring joy to a really dark place right now."

"I have never felt more connected with health care workers; we all feel like we are all one big team all over the world," she explains.
