Answer first

What Toc Toc AI is

Updated : new page.

Toc Toc AI is an AI video of you doing the Toc Toc dance. The dance comes from France: a teenager from Compiègne named Noah made up a routine to "Toc toc", a 2015 song by Patrick Sébastien, and in October 2026 it went around the world, French media reported. People hop on one foot and knock on an invisible door on every "toc toc", French for knock knock. College students in the US made it a hallway video, friends bursting out of a door one by one: the best-known one had about 47 million plays on 1 November 2026.

The AI version followed. CapCut templates turn a photo into the same dance, and the most used one, made on 3 October 2026, put faces on everyone from Santa to wedding couples. On this page you add one photo, pick a scene, and the video model follows a credited TikTok take of that template beat by beat. You are the one dancing, in your own clothes, and the song is on the finished clip.

RapVideo.ai has no connection to Patrick Sébastien, TikTok or CapCut.

Why do people call the Toc Toc song "Kicékéla"?

The chorus asks who is at the door, in fast French. People who do not speak French heard it as one word, "Kicékéla", and it became the song’s nickname abroad. More in what is the Toc Toc song.

Do I need CapCut for the Toc Toc AI trend?

No. TikTok tutorials open a CapCut template link and import photos. Here you do it in the browser: one photo in, a Toc Toc AI MP4 out, with the song on it.

The Toc Toc AI dance, second by second

We watched the clips the effect follows every half second. All 3 scenes share the routine of the trend’s most used CapCut template, and your 10 seconds keep it beat for beat:

SecondsWhat you do
0 to 1Right at the lens, leaning in with one knee up, then a step back.
1 to 3Full body in the room: hop on one foot with the other knee lifted, switch feet, and knock twice on an invisible door with your fist.
3 to 4.5Arms out wide, palms up, a shrug on the beat.
4.5 to 8.5A turn to the side, hopping and kicking a knee forward, knocking at shoulder height.
8.5 to 10Back to face the camera, arms wide, one last hop and a grin.

Pick your Toc Toc AI scene

The Toc Toc AI effect has 3 scenes. Each follows a different TikTok post, credited at the top of the editor when you pick it; the price is the same:

SceneWhere you dancePeople
SantaAn empty room with a white door, the clip of an AI Santa doing the danceOne photo
BarbershopBetween blue barber chairs, the same routineOne photo
Las Vegas weddingSide by side at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, a couple’s takeOne or two photos

The Santa scene follows an AI clip, not a real person, and the Santa suit is not kept: you dance in your own clothes. In the wedding scene, with one photo you dance alone where the groom was.

Tips for a better Toc Toc AI video

  • Use a full-body photo: the hop and the knee lift are below the waist, so from a close-up the model has to make up your legs and shoes.
  • Face the camera with your face clear: the first second is a close-up at the lens.
  • Wear what you want to dance in. In the Santa scene you keep your own clothes, not the suit.
  • For the wedding scene, two separate photos with similar framing work best.
  • Your own photo, or a friend’s with a yes. Faces of famous people and of children are not for this.
