The Chipmunks Dance is a TikTok dance of October 2026: three people stand in a row, usually outdoors, and dance to a speeded-up song. They spin on the spot, draw circles in the air with a finger, swap places and, at the end, rush the camera and jump. The post we follow is @bopieandjo’s video of 27 October 2026, three sisters on a green court at sunset, with about 5.8 million views.
The trend name comes from Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Chipettes, whose chipmunk voices sing the sped-up mix of a Dead or Alive song and a will.i.am song that the dance is set to. The dance took off in mid-October, and @kimberlykimpena (30 October, about 5.8 million views) and @ablitwinz (a two-person version, about 1.5 million) followed. We recreate 15 seconds of the 25-second original.
MimicZip makes your own version from one to three photos of adults, pets, toys or drawn characters, in a 15-second video. The court, the sky and the clothes are generated; your photos supply the faces, and the number of photos sets the number of dancers. MimicZip is an independent template tool: your video is generated from your own photo and is not made, endorsed or licensed by @bopieandjo or anyone in the original post. MimicZip is an independent template tool, not made, endorsed or licensed by Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Chipettes, Dead or Alive, will.i.am or anyone behind the characters or the songs.

What happens in a Chipmunks Dance AI video
A 15-second video is one continuous take from a fixed wide camera, with the dancers in a row on an outdoor court at sunset. Timings are approximate, and the 5-second preview shows the same scene at lower quality.
01 · 0–3s
Spin in a row
You stand in a row facing the camera, bounce on the beat and spin round on the spot with your arms out.
02 · 3–6s
Finger circles
The beat speeds up. Everyone keeps spinning and draws circles in the air beside the head with one finger.
03 · 6–10s
Swap places
The two on the outside cross past the one in the middle with big steps, and then the row forms again.
04 · 10–13s
More spins
More spins, hair swinging, quick finger circles and big smiles at the camera.
05 · 13–15s
Rush and jump
Together, you rush toward the camera and jump up with your hands in the air.
Your photos decide who dances where: the first photo is the lead in the middle, the next two stand on the left and the right. The court, the camera and the order of the beats are fixed, and every result comes out a little different. The mouths smile, nothing is heard, and the AI sound has no voices.
How to add the original sound in TikTok
Open the clip marked above, tap Use this sound, upload your video and keep the sound at 0s.Show the full how-to
Our videos come with an AI-made original soundtrack. To use the trending sound instead, add it inside TikTok when you post: that also puts your video on the sound's page, where people following the trend look. You can also download a silent version from My videos and put the original sound on that.
- Open this clip in TikTok: our video follows it. Tap the sound name at the bottom, then tap Use this sound.
- Tap Upload and pick the video you downloaded from us.
- Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or download the silent version from My videos.
- To line up the beat, use the scissors (trim) to start the sound from 0 seconds, then post.

Choose your options
Pick 9:16 or 16:9, the place, the clothes, the sky and the ending, tick the photo-consent box and log in. Every pack includes bonus 5-second previews, so you can check your photos before spending a credit.
Make the full video
Spend 1 credit on a 15-second 720p video. Download it and add your sound in TikTok.
Which photo works?
One to three photos are accepted: the lead’s photo is required, and the two dancers beside them are optional. Everyone is seen full-length in a wide shot and moves fast, so a sharp, well-lit photo of each gives the best match.

- Whole body or head to knees, in good light
- A plain background
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, 300 to 6000 pixels per side

- Sunglasses, masks or anything hiding the face
Limits: width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5. Upload only subjects you own or have permission to use.

Chipmunks Dance AI: frequently asked questions
What is the Chipmunks Dance trend?
It is a TikTok dance of October 2026: three people stand in a row, spin, draw circles in the air with a finger, swap places and rush the camera at the end, to a speeded-up song. The explainer guide has the background.
How do I make the Chipmunks Dance video from my photos?
Upload one to three photos of adults, pets, toys or drawn characters, pick 9:16 or 16:9, choose the options and start. A few minutes later you get a 15-second 720p MP4. The how-to guide lists each step.
Is it free to try?
Not at the moment. MimicZip has no free tier or free preview; one full 15-second 720p video costs 1 credit, and packs start at $4.98. Every pack includes bonus watch-only previews so you can check your photos before spending a credit. There is no subscription, and the full video has no watermark.
Which sound goes with it?
The posts we follow are set to a sped-up mix of two pop songs. We do not include it: our video has its own AI beat. Pick the sound in TikTok when you post, or download the silent version first. The sound guide shows how.
Can I use pets instead of people?
Yes. Dogs and cats can be any of the dancers and spin upright like people, drawing the circles with a front paw. Toys and drawn characters work too; children do not.
Is the original AI-made?
No. It shows three real people, and it has no AI label on TikTok. Our version is AI-generated from your own photos, so keep the platform’s AI label on when you post.
How popular is this trend?
Very. The post we follow, of 27 October 2026, had about 5.8 million views when we checked, another post of 30 October about 5.8 million, and posts from mid-October reached millions too.
How many photos do I need?
One to three: the lead’s photo is required, and up to two more fill the row. Use JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 10 MB. A face-forward photo on a plain background works best.
More questions (7)
What if I have only one or two photos?
It still works. With one photo you dance solo, and with two the lead and a second dancer do the same routine side by side, swapping places in the middle.
Can I add a fourth dancer?
No. The row has up to three dancers: the lead in the middle and one on each side. For a bigger group, try another template.
Is this connected to the TikTok author?
MimicZip is an independent template tool: your video is generated from your own photo and is not made, endorsed or licensed by @bopieandjo or anyone in the original post.
Is there a watermark, and can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
A bonus preview wears a PREVIEW badge and can’t be saved, while the full video has no watermark. Yes, you can post it: pick 9:16 for TikTok and Reels and add the sound you like in the app. Keep the platform’s AI-generated label on.
Can I change the place, the clothes, the sky and the ending?
Yes, from presets: six places (an outdoor green court by default), five outfits (your own look by default), five skies and five endings. The scene, the camera and the timing stay the same, and the options do not change the price.
Do I have to write a prompt?
No. This is a fixed template, so there is no prompt box: you add photos and pick the options and the video shape. Prefer your own tool? Copy the ready-made prompt from the Kling prompt page.
What if a video fails, and how long are my photos kept?
A failed generation returns its credit automatically, and unused packs can be refunded within 7 days; see the refund policy. Photos are stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
