Chipmunks Dance AIYour version.

What is the Chipmunks Dance trend?

The Chipmunks Dance is a TikTok routine in which three people trade the front spot. They bounce, spin, twirl a finger and take turns coming close to the camera. People also call it the Chipettes dance or the You Spin Me Round dance. The name comes from the high-pitched sound and the costumes in some versions.

The routine was circulating before its 2026 revival. ClipNav traced a living-room trio by @icm_triplets to April 2024. The creator links below show how later groups adapted the dance for a court, a hallway and a street.

How do the Chipmunks Dance moves go?

Watch the 15-second sunset court excerpt by @bopieandjo. In roughly the first five seconds, the trio faces the camera, bounces, raises their arms and turns. Then the dancer who starts on the right takes the front. Around ten seconds, the opening lead moves close to the lens again, followed by more turns and another close approach. If you are learning the dance, start with the opening bounce and rehearse the lead change before adding the camera approach.

The silent preview shows the performers who filmed the reference.

Which Chipmunks Dance versions are there?

The sunset court trio is the reference for this template. The Chipettes take by @wenersisters uses coordinated costumes in a hallway. @jamestanner9 keeps the trio and moves it to a campus street. The @ablitwinz duo adapts the spacing and lead changes for two performers. Follow the original clips below to compare how each group uses the frame.

Choose photos for the center, left and right

The center photo sets the opening lead, who starts nearest the camera. Optional left and right photos match those starting positions as you see them in the preview. The template assigns each photo to one dancer for the full clip. An empty side gets a fictional adult dancer. Add one photo for the lead, two for the lead and a friend, or three to cast the whole trio.

Use one consenting adult per JPG, PNG or WebP. Each image can be up to 3 MB and needs at least 340 px on its shorter side. Show the face, hair and outfit clearly. A full-body photo gives the model more information for steps and turns.

How to make a Chipmunks Dance AI video

Open Make this dance, sign in and add the center photo. Add friends to either side if you want, then confirm that everyone in the photos is an adult and gave permission. Choose the frame shape and resolution, check the credit quote and press Generate. The template supplies the court, choreography and timing, so you can start without recording the dance or writing a prompt.

Video length, format and credits

You get a 15-second MP4. The default 480p and 9:16 setting costs 25 credits. At 720p it costs 50 credits. Choose 9:16 for a vertical TikTok or Reel, 16:9 for a wide frame, or 1:1 for a square post. The quote depends on resolution and stays the same across all three photo counts and frame shapes. Review it in the creator before submitting.

What song is used in the Chipmunks Dance trend?

The TikTok trend is associated with high-pitched edits of “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).” Dead or Alive recorded the original, and The Chipmunks covered it for the 2009 film The Squeakquel. Different posts can use different remixes. Open the audio label on the specific TikTok you want to match. To add music when posting, choose a track you have permission to use and check what is available for your account.

Check the lead change before you post

Watch the full clip at normal speed, then pause at the first turn, the lead change and the close approach near the end. Check that the same faces and outfits follow their dancers through overlaps and that the selected framing keeps the trio visible. Faces and timing can vary across generations. Leave room for captions, ask the people pictured before sharing and follow the platform’s AI labeling rules.
