Cast board
The Toc Toc AI dance is a costumed crew bursting through a front door one by one, knocking on thin air and hopping at the camera to Patrick Sébastien’s “Toc toc”. Your three photos take over the three costumes in the order they come in; swap two photos to swap their parts. Moves and order below are from the trend clip.
Photo 1 · first through the door
Pushes the door open, hops at the lens with a fist up and comes back for a second round. Your first photo gives this dancer a face, skin tone and build; the curly wig, blazer and cream trousers come with the part.
Photo 2 · second in
Follows close behind, swings both fists and gets nearest to the camera, so this is the part where a face is easiest to read. The blonde bob covers your own hair.
Photo 3 · last in
Arrives last and punches the air on “toc toc”. After a second round, all three squeeze into the doorway side by side for the finale, still not smiling.
Three things share the name. Outside France the song is often called “Kicékéla”, after its line “qui c’est qu’est là?”. It isn’t Tung Tung Tung Sahur, Lee Hyori’s “Toc Toc Toc”, the Toca Toca dance or the Spanish film Toc Toc.

The moves
Four things make the dance recognisable in the trend clip, and the template asks the model for each of them. They are described, not copied frame by frame, so your crew’s timing can wobble a little.
On “toc toc”
A raised fist raps the air twice on the hook, “toc toc, on frappe à ma porte”. It’s the move that gave the dance its name.
Every beat
Each dancer springs forward on one leg with the other knee lifted and the arms loose, crossing the hallway in small bouncy hops.
Near the lens
Right in front of the camera the hop turns into a quick forward kick and a fist pump, which is why a head-to-shoes photo helps the first dancer most.
Last seconds
The trend clip ends with the crew squeezed into the doorway, knocking together with a deadpan stare. The template ends on the same three-person shot.
Each photo lends one dancer a face, a skin tone and a build; the wig and outfit come with the costume. Pick photos with the part in mind, and remember any of you can take any of the three.
1st Blazer: head to shoes
This dancer strides through the door and kicks at the lens, so a full-length photo keeps the height and legs believable.
2nd Bob: a clear, straight face
The blonde bob covers the hair and this dancer gets closest to the camera, so the face does the work. Look into the lens; no smile needed.
3rd Robe: waist up is enough
The velvet robe hides most of the body, so a waist-up photo with a clear face and relaxed shoulders gives the model what it needs.
Three people in one photo
Each slot casts one person. A group shot leaves the model guessing whose face goes where, so crop each person into their own photo.
Hats, sunglasses, hands on the face
The wig sits on the head and needs an uncovered face underneath. Take off hats and dark glasses.
Dark, blurry or tiny photos
Use a sharp, well-lit photo at least 512px on the short side. The dancers move fast, and a soft photo loses the face first.
Only use photos of adults who have agreed to be in the video. Don’t upload photos of children, strangers or public figures.
How to
No template link to hunt for and no prompt to write: upload, check the price, generate.
Add photo 1 for the 1st Blazer, photo 2 for the 2nd Bob and photo 3 for the 3rd Robe. Swap two photos to swap their parts.
The default is 12 seconds, 9:16, 768p: room for two rounds of entrances and the doorway finale. The price on Generate updates whenever you change a setting.
Watch the result in the preview, download it, and pick the Toc toc sound in TikTok or Reels when you post.
Sound
No. The download carries a soundtrack the model makes for each video, not Patrick Sébastien’s recording. For the hook the trend is known for, add the song where you post.
In your download
The model makes the audio along with the picture, so every video sounds a little different. It won’t sing “Toc toc, on frappe à ma porte”, and the beat may not land exactly on the hops.
When you post
On TikTok or Instagram, pick Patrick Sébastien’s “Toc toc” from the in-app music library if it’s offered where you are, then slide it so the first knock lands on the hook. A song downloaded from elsewhere doesn’t come with permission to post it.

Every template works the same way: add your photos, press Generate and get a shareable video without writing a prompt.

Adding photos, watching the trend clip and checking prices are free. A video costs 216 to 850 credits depending on length and resolution, and 283 credits for the default 12-second 768p clip. New accounts get 10 free credits, which won’t cover a full video on their own.
Both. The knock-and-hop dance was started by real people on French TikTok in late August 2026. The costumed crew that made it an “AI dance” comes from AI-generated character accounts such as Léopold Delarue, part of the wave of AI characters that followed Jean Phil; their crew clips took off in late September.
It’s “Toc toc” by Patrick Sébastien, released in 2015. The trend uses the hook “Toc toc, on frappe à ma porte, qui c’est qu’est là?” (“Knock knock, someone’s at my door, who’s there?”). “Kicékéla” is how viewers outside France spell “qui c’est qu’est là”.
No. This is an independent fan effect. Oeneo AI isn’t affiliated with Patrick Sébastien, his label, the creators of Jean Phil or Léopold Delarue, or any token linked to those accounts.
No. Your photo gives the dancer your face, skin tone and build, while the wig and outfit come from the costume: the curly wig and navy blazer, the blonde bob and houndstooth suit, or the black bob and red robe. That’s what keeps it looking like the trend.
Adults who agreed to be in it, one per photo. Any of you can take any part, whatever your hair, height or gender. Don’t upload photos of children, strangers or public figures.
Yes. The effect needs three photos, but they don’t have to be three different people. Put the same photo in two or three slots and you appear in each of those costumes; how alike the faces look varies from run to run.
The trend clip guides the hallway, the entrance order and the steps, but the video is generated fresh, so hops, kicks and timing can differ, and a face can drift when a dancer turns or comes very close. Sharp, front-facing photos help; if a run comes out wrong, try again or swap photos.
Neither. CapCut templates run inside the CapCut app from a template link. Here you upload three photos on this page and the model makes a new video of your crew in the costumes, guided by the trend clip, rather than pasting faces onto the original footage.
The credits are refunded automatically and you can try again. A finished video you simply don’t like isn’t a failure, so check your photos before you generate.
