What is the Toc Toc dance trend?
Someone puts a phone on the floor, then people dance toward it one at a time. The moves are goofy and fully committed, and that is the joke. The song is called Toc Toc.
The AI version
An AI template lets you lead the dance without gathering a group or rehearsing. Both styles start from one adult’s photo and make a 10-second vertical clip without music.
Your Look
Keeps your face, hair and clothes as you burst through a door, with friends following behind.
Retro Bob
Adds a bowl-cut wig and a 1970s suit, with two lookalikes copying the dance behind you.
Ways to do the Toc Toc trend
You can film the dance, edit footage or use a photo. Each route needs different preparation.
| Way | What you need | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Film with friends | A phone on the floor, friends and a routine | Your group performing the dance |
| An editing app’s template | Photos or footage to fit its edit | The sequence that template offers |
| A reference-based video tool | A photo, a dance clip you can use and prompts | A dance based on your reference |
| A one-photo AI template (Vidlark) | One adult photo | Your Look or Retro Bob, with the scene and dance set |

Ideas for your Toc Toc video
The joke works best when the lead dancer looks like the last person who would do it. With Your Look, try a photo in a work uniform, a suit or a very loud holiday shirt; the outfit comes from your photo. Retro Bob suits anyone who wants the full costume without owning a wig. You can also make one for a friend who agreed to it and post it on their birthday.
Best photos for the Toc Toc trend
Use a photo that shows your legs as well as your face. Adults only, with permission from the person pictured.
Knees-up or full body
A photo from the knees up or head to toe gives the dance more to work with than a close selfie.
Face clear
Choose daylight on your face, with no sunglasses covering the eyes.
Your outfit counts
Your Look uses the clothes in your photo. A loud shirt adds to the joke.
