"Dracula" is a disco and electropop song by Tame Impala, the project of the Australian musician Kevin Parker. It came out on September 26, 2025 as the third single from the album *Deadbeat*, and its hook "daylight makes me feel like Dracula" made it a natural TikTok sound. On February 6, 2026 a faster, clubbier remix with JENNIE of BLACKPINK followed, as NME reported, and the song took off a second time. Dance creators turned it into a trend in early 2026. Choreographer @shae.butta posted her routine on February 26, dance classes such as @aom.dance filmed big group combos (one passed 5 million views in March), and solo takes spread under #draculadance and #draculatrend, which each have more than 16 million views. With its vampire title, the dance comes back as a Halloween pick in October. The clip on this page is by @yanlixx.k, posted on March 31, 2026: a solo dance filmed as a silhouette against a lit wall, with almost 4 million views. On AI Dance, the template copies the moves onto your own photo: your face, clothes and background stay, and your body follows the dance beat by beat. ### The moves A loose, moody routine: one arm thrown up over the head, a quick turn with a hair flip, a wide stance with the arms swinging out, sharp arm hits in front of the chest, small hops from foot to foot, then a low, bent-knee groove with the shoulders rolling and one arm reaching up to finish. ## How to make the Dracula video 1. **Add your photo.** Upload one clear photo of you or a friend, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can. 2. **Tap Make my video.** The Dracula dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes. 3. **Download and post.** You get a 11 second 9:16 MP4. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts and add the sound inside the app. ## Best photo for Dracula - Use a full-body photo, standing, facing the camera, with your feet in the frame. - Leave space around you: the dance has wide arm swings and turns. - Baggy dark clothes look closest to the original clip; a vampire costume works for Halloween. - A plain room with an even background works best. A very dark photo hides your face, so use normal light. - One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame. Avoid: - Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge - Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow - Blurry or very dark photos - Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo ## Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts - Your video comes without music. Add "Dracula" by Tame Impala, or the JENNIE remix, in TikTok or Reels. - Post it in October with a vampire costume for a Halloween version. - Use the trend tags people search for: #dracula, #draculadance and #tameimpala. - Name the dance in your caption, so people searching for it find your video.
