  1. Upload your photo

    Click "Create your own" and upload your pet's image. Snap a new one with your camera or select from your gallery.

    The button displays the cost. Seedance 2.5 inserts your photo into the Single Ladies dog dance format and recreates it frame by frame for 15 seconds, including the original soundtrack. No prompt required.

Which photo works best?

Each format requires one photo:

  • Pet: one clear image of your pet showing the complete body, from ears down to paws. The facial features, fur length, coloring and patterns are extracted from this image. Dogs match the source reel most closely; cats also work, though with subtler head movements.
  • Human: you from the waist up or full figure, with a clear face in adequate lighting. Your clothing is pulled from this photo, so dress as you'd like to appear dancing.

One subject per image, no sunglasses and no headwear covering the face. Use images of your own pet, yourself or someone who has given permission. Never use celebrities or strangers.

Where did the Single Ladies Dog trend start?

"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" is Beyoncé's hit from October 2008. Its music video dance was choreographed by Frank Gatson Jr. and JaQuel Knight after a 1969 Bob Fosse routine. On TikTok the dance came back in late 2023 on an edit of the song posted on 5 November 2023; a version by three members of TWICE from 26 December 2023 has 43.6 million views.

On 15 September 2026 @beridzelenee posted the routine with two other dancers in a dark studio. It had 5.8 million views and 978,300 likes by 12 October. Two weeks later, AI versions put a pet in the middle dancer's place: the first ones we found are from 29 September, and a CapCut template ("Swap your pet in for this Beyoncé dance trend") spread the idea.

The biggest one came on 4 October: the dachshund account @king_odiee put its long-haired dog in the middle spot, "I learned some new dance moves from my girl @Beyoncé". It reached 40.7 million views, 5.1 million likes and 1.2 million shares by 12 October. A how-to by @miso_ara from the same day had 12.7 million views.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same dark dance studio with a reflective floor and warm spotlights, the same two female backup dancers behind with their own faces, outfits, hair tosses and positions, the same low camera angle and continuous shot, the same timing. The ONLY change: the long-haired brown dog in the center foreground is now the pet in [Image 1]. The dancer = the pet in [Image 1], whole body, in every frame: the same species and breed, head shape, muzzle, eyes, ears, fur colors, natural fur length, markings and body proportions as in [Image 1], so its owner instantly recognizes it. Never drift back to the dog of the original video: no long brown fur and no long feathered ears unless [Image 1] shows them. It follows the reference dog's head dip, upward lift, side tilts and head tosses at the same moments, with natural neck movement and fur that responds to each move. Keep all four paws on the floor. If [Image 1] shows a cat, it stays clearly a cat with a cat's head and ears, with gentle head dips, lifts and tilts. The moments, matching the reference second by second: 0-1 s: the head dips low toward the floor. 1-3 s: the head lifts up and looks at the camera. 3-6 s: a big head toss up and back, then side tilts. 6-10 s: head tilts left and right on the beat while the dancers behind toss their hair. 10-15 s: a second big head toss, then looks straight at the camera. Anatomy rules: one head only. Four legs, no extra legs or paws, no human arms. The backup dancers keep their own faces. No text, no logos, no watermark, no extra animals, no cuts.

[Video 1] is a motion guide only. Copy its camera, timing and choreography, the dark dance studio with a pale floor, the low camera angle and the continuous shot. Do NOT copy the people in [Video 1]: not their faces, hair, skin tone or clothes. Replace all of them. The lead dancer in the center foreground is the one in [Image 1]. Keep the face, hair, skin tone, body and clothes from [Image 1] in every shot, also in the hair tosses, with no gray crop top and no wide plaid pants unless [Image 1] shows them. Follow the reference dancer's head dip, upward lift, hip sways, hand on the hip, hand turns by the face and head tosses at the same moments. The two backup dancers behind on the left and the right are new young women in casual dance clothes, not the ones in [Video 1], who do the same choreography in the same positions. Photorealistic, like a real phone video in a dance studio. One continuous shot. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no extra people, no cuts.

What happens in the Single Ladies dog dance, shot by shot?

The exact cost appears on the Generate button before any charge. Each generation is a fresh take, so outcomes vary.

Which pets work best, and what makes it funny?

The humor comes from juxtaposition: two dancers performing with full commitment, while your pet executes a few solemn head movements like the headliner. The strongest candidates are:

  • Fluffy or long-eared dogs. Fur and ears fly during hair tosses, like the dachshund in the source reel.
  • Calm, serious dogs. An unimpressed expression generates the biggest reactions.
  • Cats. A cat as center dancer is an unexpected choice. It receives softer head movements appropriate for a cat.
  • Short-haired dogs. These work well too; the coat remains short, with head and ear movements carrying the performance.

Want your pet dancing on hind legs? Check the AI dancing pet video or the Pet option of the Nicole Kidman dance AI.

Caption ideas: "Why is my dog serving harder than the backup dancers?" (from the 30 September template post), "I learned some new dance moves from my girl", "My cat heard Single Ladies once", "Main character, backup dancers". Or craft your own.

Which sound and hashtags should you post it with?

Both formats include the audio from their source reel: the trend's edit of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", so your video is post-ready. You can mute the track on the results screen and add audio during posting instead. The song is owned by its rights holders, and Smew AI grants you no license to it. Music policies vary by platform, so review them before using the video in advertisements or sponsored content.

Hashtags: #singleladies is the primary tag, with 494,710 TikTok videos and 5.1 billion views on 12 October 2026, mostly human performances. Pet posts of the format also use #dancingdog (124,436 videos) and #dogtok. Maintain the platform's AI disclosure label.

FAQ

Single Ladies Dog trend questions

What is the Single Ladies dog dance trend?
It's a viral AI format from late September 2026. AI places a pet as the center performer in a trio executing Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" choreography inside a dark studio: two dancers flip their hair while the pet bobs and swings its head on beat. The largest post, by @king_odiee on 4 October 2026, reached 40.7 million TikTok views by 12 October.
What song is the Single Ladies dog dance?
Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" from 2008, in the edited version TikTok dancers have adopted since November 2023. Pet and Human include the music from their source reel, and you can mute it on the results screen. The song is owned by its rights holders, and Smew AI grants you no license to it.
How do I make my dog dance like Beyoncé?
Click "Create your own", keep Pet selected, and upload one clear photo of your dog showing the complete body. Click Generate; the button displays the cost first. You receive a 15-second vertical video of your dog in the center position, with backup dancers and music. No prompt writing required, and the video appears in your Library when complete.
Does it work with a cat?
Yes. Select Pet and upload a cat photo. The prompt retains the cat's facial features, whiskers, coat and markings while giving it softer head movements suited to a cat. The source reel features a dog, so dogs match it most accurately.
Can I be in the middle spot myself?
Yes. Select Human and upload one photo of yourself. It replicates the original trio reel by @beridzelenee, placing you as the center dancer with two performers beside you. Standard costs less and creates a new video following the reel; Best inserts you into the source reel itself.
Is the dancing dog real?
No. The dancing in these videos is AI-generated: the tutorials for this format begin with one pet photo and a choreography reel. Many viewers raise this question in comments, so apply your platform's AI disclosure label where required.
How long is the video and what format is it?
Both formats produce 15 seconds as a vertical 9:16 MP4 file with the trend music: 720p for Pet, and 720p (Standard) or 768p (Best) for Human. You can mute the audio on the results screen.
Will Beyoncé be in my video?
No. The source reels are TikTok creators' original posts, and your photo replaces the center subject. Beyoncé does not appear in your video and has no connection to Smew AI. Do not use images of her or other celebrities.
