About TocToc AI

TocToc AI is the toc toc dance generator - one photo of you or your pet becomes the viral toc toc AI dance video. Here is why we built it and how it works.

Last updated

Toc toc. Who's there? You are.

The "toc toc" dance is one of those clips you can't stop replaying: one dancer, one narrow hallway, a phone propped on the floor, and eleven seconds of knee kicks, hair touches, shrugs and a proud strut, all landing exactly on the beat. Everybody wants to try it. Not everybody has the moves, the hallway or the nerve.

TocToc AI fixes that. Upload a single photo, press one button, and a few minutes later you get your own toc toc dance video, starring you, a friend who said yes, or your very confused cat.

What we make

  • One photo in, one dance out. No prompts, no editing, no timeline. The choreography, the hallway and the camera are already worked out.
  • People and pets. Pets are anthropomorphised: they stand up on two legs and dance like a person, while keeping their own fur, markings and very serious face.
  • Ready to post. An 11-second vertical MP4 with the original sound, sized for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

How it works under the hood

Each toc toc AI dance video is made by a state-of-the-art generative video model (ByteDance Seedance). We give it your photo, a silent motion reference of the dance and the beat, together with a beat-by-beat storyboard: the lens kick, the hair-touch pose, the shrug bounce, the profile strut and the ta-da finish. The model renders the video without sound, and we then lay the original audio back on top so every step hits the beat.

What we care about

  • Consent first. Only upload yourself, people who agreed, or your own pets. Read our Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Safety by design. There are no free-text prompts, every generation goes through AI safety filters, and our team reviews every report.
  • Fair pricing. Pay per pack or subscribe, and failed videos always give your credits back. See pricing.
  • Your data stays yours. We don't sell it and we don't train AI on your face. See our Privacy Policy.
