How to Make the Toosie Slide AI Video
Right Foot Up, Left Foot Slide
Drake released "Toosie Slide" in April 2020 and danced alone in his mansion. The dance was engineered for TikTok from the start — Drake sent the hook and a verse to dancer Toosie, who choreographed the moves with Ayo & Teo and Hiii Key in 45 minutes. Drake texted back: "This is it. You don't need to do nothing else." The challenge was viral before the song officially dropped.
Now the AI version puts you in the same setup — luxury room, grand piano — doing the full routine to the song. One photo. The Toosie Slide template handles the rest.
How to Make the Toosie Slide AI Video
- Open the Toosie Slide template on Summrs.
- Upload one photo — face visible, no sunglasses. Whatever your hairstyle is in the photo is what shows up in the video.
- Pick your quality — 1080p or 720p.
- Generate. Landscape 16:9, about 14 seconds, with the song.
What Changes and What Stays
Your photo replaces the original dancer entirely — face, hair, build, and outfit:
- Your face and hair carry over throughout the performance, including different angles and the final turn.
- Your outfit carries over from your photo. Whatever you are wearing is what the dancer wears.
- The room is fixed. Luxury living room, grand piano with a red-and-black lid, white curtains, low sofas, white floor with a dark marble band.
- The choreography is fixed. The same slides, the same arm positions, the same turn, the same walk-off.
- The song plays over the video. "Toosie Slide" is built in.
The funnier the outfit mismatch with a luxury piano room, the better the clip lands.
The Routine
The 14-second clip is one continuous take:
The camera swoops in while the dancer opens both arms. From about 3.5 seconds the slides begin, with both hands raised at chest height. Around 10 seconds the dancer crouches and turns toward the piano, then walks into a final pose.
The dance lines up with the lyrics. When the song says "right foot up," the right foot goes up. The timing is the joke — the AI dancer hits every beat the way a real dancer would, wearing your face and whatever you had on in your photo.
Why Toosie Slide Still Works in 2026
The original challenge was one of the biggest TikTok moments of 2020. Over six years later, the song is still instantly recognizable — the first three seconds of audio tell you exactly what you are watching.
What changed is the format. In 2020 you had to learn the dance and film yourself. Now you upload a photo and the AI handles the choreography. The people posting it are not dancers. That is the appeal — a grandparent in a hoodie doing the Toosie Slide in a luxury piano room with perfect timing is funnier than a dancer doing it well.
Landscape, Not Vertical
This template outputs 16:9 landscape, not the usual 9:16. The room and the piano are part of the shot — a vertical crop would lose the setting that makes it recognizable.
If you are posting to TikTok or Reels, you have two options:
- Letterbox it. Post the landscape frame on a blurred or black background. The full room stays visible.
- Center crop. Works from about 3.5 seconds onward when the dancer is centered, but you lose the swooping opening and part of the final walk.
FAQ
What song plays? "Toosie Slide" by Drake (2020). The audio is built into the video.
Does my outfit show up? Yes. Whatever you are wearing in your photo is what the dancer wears in the video.
Is it vertical? No — landscape 16:9. The room and piano are part of the visual, so vertical would cut them out.
Do I need to know the dance? No. The choreography is built into the template. Your photo controls appearance only.
