The trend

What is the Chipmunks Dance (the Alvin and the Chipmunks dance)?

The Chipmunks Dance is a TikTok routine for three people, also called the Alvin and the Chipmunks dance or the chipmunk dance. Three friends or sisters stand frozen in a line, burst out on the beat, take turns coming up to the phone, spin, and rush the camera, all in one take of about 25 seconds. The sound is a sped-up “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”. College dance teams started it in late September 2026, and the Chipmunks Dance trend took off in October 2026 with a post by three college dancers in Nashville, the first to pass 10 million plays. Chipmunks Dance AI puts your own trio in it: three photos, our own AI-made template, the whole routine.

There are no cartoon characters in it: just friends, sisters and roommates doing the same moves to the same sound, while the comments under the big posts argue about who is who.

Chipmunks Dance Trend is an independent tool that makes that video from three photos. It has no connection to Alvin and the Chipmunks or its owners.

On TikTok

The Chipmunks Dance on TikTok: three originals

Same sound, same moves, a different trio every time: college dancers in Nashville, three guys on a night sidewalk, three bridesmaids. These are real posts, credited to the people who made them, not AI and not made by us.

Reference clips from TikTok, not made by this site. Each belongs to its creator, who can ask us to remove it. Plays as shown on TikTok on November 3, 2026. contact@chipmunksdancetrend.video

The sound

What song is the Chipmunks Dance?

A sped-up “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”, the 1984 Dead or Alive single, most likely in the Chipmunks’ 2009 cover.

On TikTok it is a user upload, “original sound - Spotifyremixes_”, first posted as “You spin me round x big and chunky”. “original sound - keiford” is the same recording.

It runs at 130.7 beats a minute from 0:00. The dancers hold still for five beats and burst out on the 6th, at 2.35 seconds, so the sound has to start at 0:00.

Your download is silent, on purpose: add the sound in TikTok when you post, start it at 0:00, and every move lands on its beat. The song belongs to its artist and label; we have no connection to either.

Middle, left, right

Who takes the middle in your Chipmunks Dance

Each photo takes one dancer’s place for the whole routine. Put whoever wants the spotlight in the middle.

  • Middle: the lead

    Leads from the front

    Hands behind the head, then back to the camera (4.2–8 s), a quick turn up close (14.4 s) and the centre of the rush. The face you see most, so give it your sharpest photo.

  • Left

    Beside the lead, then up close

    Dances at the lead’s side, with one turn up close to the phone, waist-up.

  • Right

    Up close, the spin, the rush

    Mirrors the left dancer, with one turn up close of their own. Then the spin at 18.5 s and the rush at the camera with everyone.

The two side turns up close come at about 12.6 and 15.2 seconds; which side goes first can change from one video to the next.

Each photo takes one of the three places. The people here were made with AI.

Places

8 places, one picked for every video

Each video happens somewhere of its own: one of these 8 places, picked at random, and each of your videos goes somewhere new until you’ve had all of them. The moves and the camera stay the same; the floor, the walls and the light are the place's.

  • The backyard deck place: the weathered wooden deck behind a suburban house on an overcast day, with a white railing, a lawn and tall trees behind it

    Backyard deck

  • The night street place: a city sidewalk at night beside an old red-brick wall, under warm street lamps

    Night street

  • The living room place: an apartment living room with a grey sofa, a rug, a floor lamp and afternoon window light

    Living room

  • The hallway place: a hallway in an apartment building, with doors on both sides and ceiling lights

    Hallway

  • The sunset court place: an outdoor basketball court at sunset, with a chain-link fence and low golden light

    Sunset court

  • The kitchen place: a home kitchen in the evening, with white cabinets, an island and warm ceiling lights

    Kitchen

  • The campus lawn place: a grassy college quad with red-brick buildings and big trees, in midday sun

    Campus lawn

  • The driveway place: the concrete driveway in front of a suburban garage door, in late-afternoon sun

    Driveway

You can’t pick the place yet. Make another video and your trio lands somewhere new.

Your photos

Photos that work best for your Chipmunks Dance

Head to toe is best: the whole dance is full-length, and the AI copies what it can see, from the face and hair down to the shoes. Every dancer also comes right up to the camera, so each face has to hold up at full size.

  • Head to toe, clear face

    Head to toe, clear face

  • Cut off at the waist

    Cut off at the waist

  • Face in shadow

    Face in shadow

  • Sunglasses or a filter

    Sunglasses or a filter

Good to go

  • One adult per photo, three photos
  • Head to toe, standing: the clothes and shoes come from the photo
  • Face sharp and turned to the camera
  • Daylight or a bright room; JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB

Leave these out

  • Cut off at the waist: the AI has to invent the rest
  • Sunglasses, masks, heavy filters or a face in shadow
  • Group photos or tiny faces far away: one person each, close enough
  • Kids, public figures, or anyone who didn’t agree

Adults only, and only people who agreed to be in it. Every photo and every video is checked automatically, and uploaded photos are deleted after 2 days. The full rules are in the acceptable use policy.

Good questions

Chipmunks Dance AI FAQ

Can I put myself and two friends in the Chipmunks Dance?

Yes. Add three photos, one adult in each: the middle photo is the lead, then left and right. Chipmunks Dance AI puts the three of you into the whole routine, a 25-second 9:16 MP4 at 720p with no watermark, for $9.90. Everyone in the photos must be an adult who agreed to be in it.

Who goes in the middle, and which photos work →

Can I do it with only one or two people?

No, not yet: every video is the trio routine, so it takes three photos, one adult in each, and it can’t leave a place empty.

Will it keep our faces and clothes?

Yes, as far as each photo shows them: every dancer gets the face, hair, skin tone and clothes from their own photo, a strong likeness, not a twin. Nobody is turned into a chipmunk or put in a costume. A full-body photo shows the whole outfit; with a face-only photo the AI has to guess the rest.

How long does it take?

It is usually under 15 minutes for the whole 25-second video. You can close the page: the video waits in My videos for 14 days.

How to make the video, step by step →

Is this official?

No. Chipmunks Dance Trend is an independent, fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Bagdasarian Productions, 20th Century Studios, Dead or Alive, will.i.am, TikTok or the creators who started the dance. Our template is our own, made with AI-made dancers, and your video shows your trio, not cartoon characters.

What song is the Chipmunks Dance?

A sped-up “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”, the 1984 Dead or Alive hit, most likely in the Chipmunks’ 2009 cover. On TikTok it is a user upload, “original sound - Spotifyremixes_”, whose first post is captioned “You spin me round x big and chunky”, naming will.i.am’s “Big and Chunky” as the other half of the mix; “original sound - keiford” is the same recording. It runs at 130.7 beats a minute from 0:00, and the dancers burst out on the 6th beat, at 2.35 s.

The Chipmunks Dance song →

Can I use one group photo?

No. Each dancer takes one place in the routine, so the generator asks for three photos, one adult in each. If all you have is a group shot, crop it into three photos, one person each, with every face sharp and not tiny.

Where will our Chipmunks Dance video take place?

In one of 8 places, picked at random for each video: backyard deck, night street, living room, hallway, sunset court, kitchen, campus lawn or driveway. Each of your videos goes somewhere new until you’ve had all of them, and you can’t pick the place yet. The moves and the camera are the same everywhere.

Is there a free version?

No. There is no free video and no free preview: one video is $9.90, or $7.98 each in the 5-video pack, and credits never expire. If a video fails, its credits come back automatically.

What is free elsewhere →

Your trio, the whole Chipmunks Dance
