Ba Ba Ba Dance Takes to Remix
Every clip dances the same routine, so the difference is who and where: J5’s original in the school library, the most-liked duos in school lobbies and stairwells, a dad and his daughter, a sister and her brother, sisters at the office, nurses in scrubs, a Dancing with the Stars pro, a group of friends, and Joe Jonas on his own. Pick the one closest to who you are putting in, one dancer, two or a group, and it becomes the reference for your ba ba ba dance video.

@realjmoney12 on TikTokWhat Is the Ba Ba Ba Dance?
The ba ba ba dance is a two-person TikTok routine. Dancer J5 (@otr.j5) posted it with a friend in a school library, captioned "Ba ba baa": the pair start side by side close to the camera, each takes a short solo, then they finish the routine in sync. The hook everyone sings along to is the chanted "ba ba ba" that gives it its name.
The sound is "original sound - iproducedit", a remix of "Don’t You Worry ’Bout a Thing" as Tori Kelly sings it as Meena in the film Sing, which is why people search for "the ba ba ba dance from Sing". Tori Kelly posted her own take ("Meena goin viral again").
The biggest takes are duos: best friends in a school hallway, sisters, twins, a dad and his daughter in the kitchen (over 720,000 likes), a couple roasting each other, nurses in scrubs, a Dancing with the Stars pro. Groups of three and four learn it too, and some dance it alone. A ba ba ba dance AI video takes any of those takes and swaps the dancers for the people in your photos, so you keep the moves, the room and the song without learning a step.

How to Make a Ba Ba Ba Dance Video with AI
- 1
Pick a take
Choose the reference on the right: the original in the school library, a dad and daughter at home, sisters, a couple, a trio. The AI copies its moves, camera and timing beat for beat.
- 2
Upload your photos
One full-body photo per dancer. The first photo takes the dancer on the left, the second the next one. One photo works too: you replace one dancer and the other stays.
- 3
Create and post
Your ba ba ba dance video keeps the remix from the take you picked, so it lands on the same sound as the rest of the trend when you post it.
Tips for a Better Ba Ba Ba Dance Video
Head-to-toe photos
The ba ba ba dance is all legs and arms, framed full body from the first beat. A standing photo from head to feet gives the AI your outfit and proportions; a selfie leaves it guessing.
Left to right
Photos fill the dancers from left to right as they stand at the start. Whoever should take the first solo, check which side that dancer starts on in the take and put their photo in that slot.
Match the number of dancers
Pick a duo take for two photos, the trio for three, a solo take for one. Fewer photos than dancers is fine: the rest stay as they are, which makes a fun "me with the original dancers" video.
Choose the room to fit the pair
A school hallway or library for friends, a kitchen or living room for family, a hospital corridor for coworkers. The AI keeps the setting of the take you pick.
Pricing
Each ba ba ba dance video is one use (700 credits), whether you pick 8 or 15 seconds. The price is on the button before you start, and nothing else is added.
A single use is $9.90; packs of 4 and 8 uses, or a monthly plan that posts trend videos to your accounts for you, cost less per video. A render that fails is refunded automatically.
Autopilot plans
Every month we turn the newest trends into meme videos and post them to your accounts. Each post is one of the plan’s videos, and any you make yourself come out of the same count. Cancel any time.
One-time video packs
Pay once and use them on any trend template, at any length. The credits never expire, and the other video tools can spend them too.
Use it responsibly
- Only upload photos of yourself, of people who said yes, or of your own pets.
- Do not use it to make someone look like they did something they did not.
- Label the result as AI when you post it; TikTok and Instagram both have an AI-generated tag.
- Use photos of yourself and people who have agreed to be in the video, and do not pass a made-up dance off as real footage of someone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ba ba ba dance?
A two-person TikTok dance from October 2026: two dancers side by side, a short solo each, then the routine in sync on a chanted "ba ba ba" hook. AI can put you and a friend into it from two photos.
Who started the ba ba ba dance?
Dancer J5 (@otr.j5), who posted it with a friend in a school library on 2 October 2026 with the caption "Ba ba baa". Many takes credit the choreography to him with "dc: @otr.j5".
What song is the ba ba ba dance?
"original sound - iproducedit" on TikTok, a remix of "Don’t You Worry ’Bout a Thing" as Tori Kelly sings it as Meena in Sing. It is not Sean Paul’s "Ba Ba Bad", the older "Baba" dance sound, or Just Dance’s "Hangover (BaBaBa)", which share the name.
Is the ba ba ba dance from TikTok?
Yes. It started on TikTok in early October 2026 and spread there first as a "two-person dance to learn"; reposts on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts followed.
Can I do the ba ba ba dance alone, or with 3 or 4 people?
Yes. Pick a solo take and upload one photo, or a trio take and upload up to three. Photos replace the dancers from left to right; anyone without a photo stays as in the take.
How many photos do I need?
One per dancer you want to replace. A duo takes two, the first for the dancer on the left and the second for the one on the right. With a single photo, only the left dancer is replaced.
Is there a ba ba ba dance tutorial?
On TikTok, search "ba ba ba dance tutorial" or "ba ba ba dance easy": dance accounts post it mirrored and slowed down part by part. If you would rather skip the practice, a ba ba ba dance AI video gets you the finished dance from your photos.
Does it work with pets?
Yes. Upload two pet photos and pick a duo take; your pets stand up and dance the routine in place of the dancers. Full-body pet photos work best.
Is this a CapCut template?
No. A template pastes faces onto a fixed clip. Here AI renders each dancer from your photo inside the take you choose, so faces, bodies, outfits and moves all match.
What is the Ba Ba Ba Dance AI prompt?
The duo at home prompt is in the AI Prompts section below. It starts: "Image 1 and Image 2 are the Dancers." Paste the rest into any AI video tool that accepts your photos.
Who Is Your Ba Ba Ba Partner?
Pick a take, add your photos, and post your ba ba ba dance while the trend is everywhere.

Ba Ba Ba Dance AI Prompts
The prompts behind every ba ba ba dance video: the remix prompt that swaps the dancers in a take, and four text prompts for the open generator (a duo at home, a school hallway, a solo, two pets). They describe the routine part by part, so they work in any image-to-video model that takes your photos as Image 1 and Image 2.
Duo at home
Image 1 and Image 2 are the Dancers. A vertical phone video, full bodies in frame, the camera fixed at chest height, bright everyday light, crisp and real. No text, no captions, no logos. In a bright living room with a sofa and a ceiling fan, the two people from the images perform the ba ba ba dance: the two start side by side close to the camera, bouncing and clapping on the "ba ba ba" hook; then one steps forward for a short solo of arm waves, a body roll and a hop while the other grooves behind, the other takes the next solo, and both finish side by side doing the same steps in sync, arms swinging, shoulders bouncing and a little kick on every "ba", the one from Image 1 on the left, in casual clothes. Keep each person’s face, hairstyle, skin tone and build exactly as in their image and never swap them. Audio: an upbeat remix of a soul-pop song with a chanted "ba ba ba" hook, no dialogue.
