What Is Toosie Slide AI? The Dance Video Trend Explained

What the Toosie Slide AI video trend is, why people make it, and how it differs from a filter or an AI song of the same name.

Toosie Slide is a dance. The person slides left and right, crosses their feet in a criss-cross, then steps back, and repeats the pattern. It needs no props and no partner. "Toosie Slide AI" usually means the version where an AI video model does the dance with someone's photo.

Video or song?

The words "Toosie Slide AI" can mean two things online. One is this: a short video of the dance. The other is an AI-made track that shares the name. They are different things. The clip we make is a video with no music and no vocals.

Where it came from

The dance is tied to a song of the same name, and people filmed their own versions of it, mostly at home. We can't point to a single first post, and we can't say when the trend began or how many people have made it. We won't guess at those numbers.

Why people make it

  • The steps are simple and look good: a slide, a criss-cross and a step back.
  • It is short and easy to post.
  • The fun is in seeing yourself, or a friend who said yes, do a routine you never filmed.

Toosie Slide AI and a filter

These are different things.

  • A filter changes a video you filmed. You still have to learn the steps and film yourself.
  • Toosie Slide AI makes a new clip. You give one photo, and an AI video model animates the person in it through the routine. You don't film anything.

The trade-off is control. You don't choose the room, the moves or the camera angle.

Make one

Put Me In makes a Toosie Slide AI video from one photo of you: 14 seconds, 16:9 widescreen, silent, labelled AI generated. The scene is a luxury living room with a black grand piano. This template is for people only, so pet photos are not allowed.

Put Me In is an independent tool. We have no connection with the artist, the song or anyone who owns them. "Toosie Slide" is used only to describe the trend.
