Meet the Toc Toc dancer you replace
Your photo takes the place of one dancer in a living room: knee up, arms out, a hop on one foot and a bounce on every knock, with a straight face the whole time. The room, the camera and the timing stay the same; the face, hair, body and clothes become yours.
The 10-second reference, from the public “Living Room Take” sample on toctocdance.com. Your photo replaces this dancer; it is source footage, not a result made with this tool. Play it with sound to hear the song your video keeps.

Toc Toc AI dance examples from TikTok
The trend comes in two versions: a solo dance at home, like the video this page makes, and a line of dancers in blond bobs and suits charging the camera. These clips were posted on TikTok while the trend took off and are cut to the finished dance. They were made with other tools, mostly CapCut templates, and are credited to their creators; none was made with this tool.
Want the exact moves from a Toc Toc video you saw?
The built-in clip is the solo living-room version. If you found a different Toc Toc video, such as a dance line, another room or a different camera, use it as the reference instead: switch the source to your own upload, add your photo and write one line saying who it replaces, for example “Image 1 replaces the dancer in the brown suit”. The result follows that clip’s moves, camera and timing, and keeps its sound.
- Upload an MP4 or MOV from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, up to 50 MB, then pick the section to use.
- Seedance 2.5 edits up to 30 seconds of it; MiniMax H3 and the Seedance 2.0 models follow up to 15 seconds.
- Use a clip with one clear dancer and few cuts for the most faithful result. Every model generates new frames, so expect the same dance, not a frame-perfect copy.

What is the Toc Toc AI dance trend?
The song is “Toc Toc” by the French entertainer Patrick Sébastien, a 2015 party track built around a knock-knock joke. In autumn 2026 a TikTok challenge brought it back: a dance credited to the creator Nooah Prvv that hops on one foot to the beat and mimes knocking on a door at the chorus. It is also tagged Kicékéla. Patrick Sébastien talked about the revival with
Sud Radio
.
The AI version followed. Posts tagged #toctoc, #jeanphildance and #aidance put people into the dance, or the AI character
Jean Phil
with his blond bob and suit, often through CapCut templates. That is why people search for it as the Jean Phil dance and ask whether Jean Phil is real: he is an AI-made character. This page makes the most copied format, one dancer doing the routine, with your face instead of his.

Photo tips for a better Toc Toc AI dance
The model keeps what it can see in your photo, so the photo matters most.
- Front-facing, sharp and evenly lit, with one person and nothing covering the face.
- Waist-up or full-body works best: the dance is all knees and arms.
- Hair and clothes follow the photo, so pick the outfit you want to dance in, or add a short instruction such as “a brown retro suit”.
- Avoid group photos, tiny faces, pets, celebrity photos and film stills.
If the face drifts in the fast hops, try a clearer photo, a shorter window or Seedance 2.5.
