What makes a good photo?

You need one photo: yourself for Human, your pet for Pet.

  • Human: shot from the waist up or full length, with clear facial features, facing the camera in strong lighting. Your clothing appears in the video, so choose what you want to wear while dancing.
  • Avoid sunglasses, hats covering the face or beauty filters.
  • Pet: a clear shot showing the entire animal, from ears down to paws. Fur patterns and colors are taken from your photo. Dogs match the reel most closely; cats and other pets will stand on hind legs for the choreography.
  • Background doesn't matter: the reel provides the setting.
  • Only use photos of yourself, consenting adults, or your own pets. Never use images of celebrities or strangers.

Origin of the Nicole Kidman Dance trend

ADÉLA released "Nicole Kidman" on her first album PRIMA on 4 September 2026. The chorus line "baby girl in control, I feel like Nicole Kidman" became an instant TikTok hit. Billboard reported over 1.5 million TikTok videos using the track by 24 September, noting the song climbed from No. 45 to No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated 26 September.

The choreography features a brief routine set to the chorus. Dance tutorials on TikTok attribute the moves to choreographer Kyler Irby; a slow-motion tutorial posted 21 September reached 944,900 views by 11 October. Nicole Kidman herself posted a TikTok on 6 October from a Chanel event in Paris, joined by Dua Lipa, Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig. That video hit 32.6 million views within five days.

AI-generated versions remain uncommon. The account @humantix posted an AI dog performing the dance at a bus stop on 1 October, while @hanaseo.ai shared an AI dancer doing the choreography in a nighttime alley on 9 October. Both versions on this page recreate those two reels.

  1. ADÉLA's debut album PRIMA drops, featuring the track "Nicole Kidman". Billboard

  2. Billboard documents over 1.5 million TikTok videos using the track and notes the viral dance phenomenon, plus the song's rise from No. 45 to No. 22 on the Hot 100 dated 26 September. Billboard

  3. AI pet account @humantix shares a video of a dog performing the dance at a bus stop, among the earliest AI interpretations of the choreography. TikTok

  4. Nicole Kidman shares a TikTok set to the track from a Chanel event in Paris, featuring Dua Lipa, Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig; the post reaches 32.6 million views and 7.9 million likes by 11 October. TikTok

  6. US Google searches for "nicole kidman dance" reach nearly triple their 27 September volume, with "adela nicole kidman" ranking as the top related query, according to Google Trends data retrieved that day.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same narrow alley at night with brick walls, pipes, stairs and doors, the same warm orange street lamps, the same handheld wide-angle phone camera that moves backward in front of the dancer, the same framing, timing and dance moves. The ONLY change: the young woman who dances toward the camera is now the person in [Image 1]. The dancer = the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] - face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo. The same real person in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends instantly recognize them, also when the face comes close to the camera. Never morph, never drift back to the original dancer's face, never add or remove facial hair. No long black hair unless [Image 1] shows it. The dancer has the body and the clothes of the person in [Image 1], never the black tank top and the black leggings of the original dancer; if [Image 1] shows only the head or the upper body, invent the rest so it matches naturally. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: 0-2 s: walks toward the camera and points at the lens, smiling. 2-4 s: leans close to the camera, then puts both hands flat on the chest. 4-7 s: sways the hips, slides the hands down to the waist and up to the shoulders. 7-10 s: walks on, hands at the waist, a small shoulder shimmy. 10-12 s: hands by the head, then both arms straight up overhead. 12-13 s: spins around with a hair flip. Anatomy rules: one head only, on the dancer's shoulders. Two arms and two hands, no extra limbs. No text, no logos, no watermark, no extra people.

[Video 1] is a motion guide only. Copy its camera moves, timing and dance moves, the sunny city sidewalk with tall palm trees, the bus stop with a bench and a glass shelter, the red curb, the bus that drives past, the traffic and the green hills in the distance, filmed with a handheld phone camera. Do NOT copy the dog in [Video 1]: not its tan fur, face, ears or black collar. Replace it completely. The dancer is the pet in [Image 1], standing upright on its hind legs like a person the whole time. Keep the face, fur colors, markings, ears and body from [Image 1] in every shot, with no collar unless [Image 1] shows one. The pet waits at the bus stop while the bus drives past, then turns to the camera and dances on the beat: low squats with the front paws at the chest, side steps, a hip sway, a front paw waved in the air and a little hop, then it stands tall and looks down the street. Photorealistic, like a real phone video on a sunny day. One continuous shot. No text, no letters, no signs with words, no logos, no watermark, no extra animals.

Best subjects for the Nicole Kidman dance

This trend captures the fun of feeling famous for 13 seconds, working best with subjects who wouldn't normally perform it. These options work well:

  • You. The standard approach: your outfit, your facial features, complete choreography, zero practice needed.
  • Your dog. The bus stop reel features a dog, so canines match it best. Serious, calm dogs create the best comedy.
  • Your cat. A cat standing upright and moving its hips offers an unexpected twist that surprises viewers.
  • A friend or partner. Create it as a birthday gift, with their permission.

Caption suggestions: "Every single night", "Baby girl in control", "My dog feels like Nicole", "Me after one compliment". Or create your own.

Do I have to learn the dance?
No. The choreography comes from the source reel, so the person or pet in your photo performs the complete routine. You only upload one photo.

Human uses Seedance 2.5: it places you into the source reel at 720p, with the original shots, camera work and mouth movements, requiring up to several minutes. Pet offers two quality levels. Standard is default with lower cost: Seedance 2.0 Mini creates a fresh vertical 720p clip following the reel's choreography and timing, though your pet may look less like the photo. Best costs more: MiniMax H3 Max Recast places your pet into the source reel at 768p.
Will Nicole Kidman or ADÉLA be in my video?
No. Both versions recreate AI reels from TikTok creators, with your photo replacing their dancer. Neither Nicole Kidman nor ADÉLA appear in your video and have no affiliation with Smew AI.
