The Wipe Me Down dance is the one with the grinning blond guy in a pink trench coat on a paved square: a laugh straight into the camera, a big lunge to the side, a hop, a low bounce with both hands sweeping at the ground, a two-footed jump and a shimmy to finish. The clip is AI-generated, it spread through CapCut templates in October 2026, and now everyone wants their own face — or their cat — in it. This guide covers where it comes from, what the moves are, and how to make your own version from a single photo — you, a friend or your dog, in your own clothes.

Every clip in this post was made with the Wipe Me Down Dance AI generator on Viberot.

Where the Wipe Me Down dance comes from#

The song is "Wipe Me Down", the 2007 Baton Rouge anthem by Foxx with Lil Boosie and Webbie, and the remix is the version almost every video uses. The song has been a dance meme for years — the masked Louisiana Michael Myers videos do a version of it in churches, weddings and aquariums — but the clip that took over in October 2026 is different: an AI-generated video of a blond guy with a bowl cut, in a pink double-breasted trench coat, dancing alone on a grey square in front of a white townhouse with flower boxes. He laughs into the camera, lunges, hops, drops into the low bounce, jumps and shimmies, all in 13 seconds.

It spread the way AI dance clips do now:

  • CapCut templates. "Wipe me down original dance" templates that drop your photo or a character into the clip. The hashtag is full of them.
  • Character versions. Phineas and Ferb, Call of Duty operators, the Rumpelstiltskin imp from the tip toeing in my Jordans trend.
  • Halloween. The song's older Michael Myers meme means Jason, Chucky and Art the Clown versions are circulating at the same time.

The moves, beat by beat#

If you want to learn it for real, here is the 13-second routine everybody copies:

  1. The laugh. Close to the camera, laughing straight into it, then a step back.
  2. The lunge. A big lunge to the side with both arms swinging across the body, then a low scuffing step with the knees bent.
  3. The hop. A small hop with both feet together, landing in a crouch.
  4. The wipe. Stay low, knees bent, bouncing on the beat while both hands sweep across in front of the knees and flick down at the ground. This is the part everyone recognises.
  5. The jump. Straighten up, arms swinging, and do a two-footed jump.
  6. The shimmy. A loose side-to-side sway with a shoulder shimmy, a point at the camera and a laugh to finish.

Why the AI version works#

Asking a video model for "a person dancing to Wipe Me Down" gets you a random shuffle. The versions that look right copy the movement from a reference performance and only swap the dancer. That is how the Wipe Me Down Dance AI template works:

  1. Motion from the original clip. The laugh, the lunge, the hop, the low wipe, the jump and the shimmy all follow the original, in the same order and timing.
  2. Your face, your clothes. Your face from the photo stays in every frame, and you dance in the outfit you uploaded — hoodie, jacket or Halloween costume. The pink trench coat stays with the original. If the photo stops at the waist, dark trousers and white sneakers are filled in.
  3. The same square. The grey paving, the white townhouse and the flower boxes from the original, in daylight.
  4. The sound is on it. The Wipe Me Down audio is added to the finished clip, so the moves land on the beat and the file is ready to post.

Step by step: how to do the Wipe Me Down dance trend with AI#

  1. Open the template. Go to the Wipe Me Down Dance AI page and sign in.
  2. Upload one photo. A clear, front-facing photo of yourself, a friend or your pet. A full-body photo gives the most accurate outfit.
  3. Pick format and quality. 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube. Standard 720p is the default; 480p is cheaper for a first try; Fast, Pro and Ultra add detail, with Pro and Ultra going up to 1080p.
  4. Generate. It usually takes a few minutes.
  5. Download and post. You get a 13-second MP4 with the sound already on it.

Tip

The AI keeps whatever you are wearing, so a Halloween costume photo gives you a costume video — Michael Myers, Chucky or anyone else.

Picking a photo that works#

Works well Causes trouble
One person or one pet, facing the camera Group photos where your face is small
Full body or at least down to the waist Extreme close-ups with no clothing visible
Even light, a plain background Heavy filters, very dark photos
A pet standing or sitting up A pet curled up with its face hidden

Expressive faces help. The dance is half attitude, so a photo where you are already grinning tends to come out livelier than a passport shot.

Note

Photos that appear to show minors or public figures are rejected before any credits are charged. Use photos of yourself or people who agreed to be in your video.

Ideas for your post#

The audio is already on the clip, so the caption and the casting carry the joke:

  • "Me vs. the original." Post the pink-coat clip and your version back to back.
  • The family version. Your dad, your grandma, the one friend who never dances.
  • The pet battle. Cat vs. dog, posted back to back with a "who wiped it down better?" caption.
  • Halloween. Upload a costume photo and join the Michael Myers, Jason and Chucky dance-offs.

Wipe Me Down AI vs. CapCut templates#

Most "Wipe Me Down dance" CapCut templates paste your photo over the original clip with zooms and stickers. Your face sits on top of someone else's body, and the outfit, the lighting and the room are theirs.

The Wipe Me Down Dance AI generator makes a new video in which you are the dancer, in your own clothes, with the motion copied from the original and the sound added on top. It runs in the browser, no app or template link needed.

How much it costs#

A Standard 720p Wipe Me Down video costs 218 credits; 480p costs 105. Higher tiers cost more, and the exact price is always shown next to the Generate button before you start. Credit packs are one-time payments — no subscription — start at $9.90 for 600 credits and never expire. If a generation fails, the credits go straight back to your balance. See the pricing page for details.

Frequently asked questions#

What song is the Wipe Me Down dance to?#

"Wipe Me Down" by Foxx featuring Lil Boosie and Webbie, from 2007. The remix with all three verses is the version used in almost every trend video.

Who started the Wipe Me Down dance trend?#

The October 2026 wave comes from an AI-generated clip of a blond guy in a pink trench coat dancing on a square, which spread through CapCut templates. The song itself has been a dance meme for years, including the masked Louisiana Michael Myers videos.

Does the AI video include the song?#

Yes. The Wipe Me Down audio is added to the finished clip. Having audio in a downloaded file is not a music licence, so follow your platform's rules on music and on labelling AI-generated content.

Can I use my cat or dog?#

Yes. Pets stand on their hind legs and do the bounce with their front paws, keeping their own fur and collar.

Is this an official product?#

No. Viberot is an independent AI tool and is not affiliated with Lil Boosie, Foxx, Webbie, Trill Entertainment or the creator of the original dance clip.

Yes. Try the Rumpelstiltskin tiptoe dance or the Bulin 47 freestyle, both from one photo.
