What is the The Jawn trend?

"The JAWN" is a house track by the producer Jerri, released on May 29, 2026 on Boom Records. A lyric clip of it was already on TikTok a few days before, and by the end of June people were posting their own easy routines to it, often with the caption "that's the jawn". "Jawn" is Philadelphia slang for almost anything, here something you love.

In July a backyard video of a woman holding a drink and waiting for the drop passed 18 million views, and in August CapCut AI dance templates made the sound one of the biggest of the summer, with the top template post at more than 6 million views. Real dance posts kept coming into the autumn.

The clip on this page is by @rachnpink, posted on June 28, 2026: a solo take of the routine in her hallway, credited to its choreographer in the caption, filmed from the knees up. 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 bouncy, playful house groove: hip pops side to side, the wrists flicking at the waist, a turn to the side with a big arm sweep up over the head, then hands shaking out in front, elbows pumping and a shoulder shimmy on "that's the jawn".

How to make the The Jawn video

Everything runs in your browser. No editing app and nothing to film.

Step 1: Add your photo

Step 2: Tap Make my video
The The Jawn dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes.
Step 3: Download and post
You get a 11 second 9:16 MP4. It comes with the dance's music. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts, and swap the sound inside the app if you like.

Best photo for The Jawn

The photo decides most of the result. These tips are for this dance.

Works well

A photo from the knees up works, like the clip on this page, but a full-body photo with your feet in the frame gives the smoothest result.
Leave space above your head: the dance has a big arm sweep up high.
Loose trousers and a plain fitted tee look closest to the original clip.
A hallway or a plain room with even light works best.
One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame.

Gives weak results

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 with the dance's music. To use the official sound or another one, turn the original sound down when you post. Add "The JAWN" by Jerri in TikTok or Reels.
Start the video on the drop, right before "that's the jawn".
Use the trend tags people search for: #thejawn, #thatsthejawn and #jerri.
Name the dance in your caption, so people searching for it find your video.

Add The JAWN by Jerri from the sound library of the app you post to, so your video uses the official track.
