Build the scene in Image

Prompt ready for Image (editable there)

Use the first reference for the woman on the LEFT and the second for the woman on the RIGHT; keep both faces, hair and clothes. They stand side by side, head to knees, at night under a white wooden canopy on a pale concrete plaza, red-brick campus buildings behind, hands together at the chest. Vertical 9:16 phone photo from a low fixed angle. No text, no logos, no real celebrities.

The credit cost shows on the Image button before you generate.

Puerto Rican mami dance solo and duo samples

A solo dancer on a porch and two friends under a canopy, remixed from Seedance 2.0 Fast originals.

Solo on the porch starts from one original portrait of an adult woman standing and facing the camera. Two friends under the canopy starts from two portraits, one person each: photo 1 on the left, photo 2 on the right. Both originals were made with Seedance 2.0 Fast on October 26, 2026, as 10-second vertical 9:16 clips at 720p.

For this page about 8 seconds were cut from each original, with a gentle reframe, a color grade, a small speed change and the ghibliia.com mark in the top left. Nothing was mirrored: the friend in grey starts on the left, as in her photo, and ends on the right after the place swap. No credits were spent on these samples. Use this photo →

Solo on the porch

A woman with curly hair, a white tee and jeans dances on a brick porch under a lit lantern: hands at the chest, fists by the shoulders, then a hand down to the knee.

Two friends under the canopy

Two friends in a grey and a black hoodie dance at night under a white pergola: hands at the chest, hands to the knees, and by the end they have traded sides.

Puerto Rican mami dance from your photo

Upload a head-to-knees photo with room to move, check the preview, press Create video.

  1. 1

    The photo

    Pick a head-to-knees or full-body shot with space on both sides. The routine throws the arms wide and ends with the hands on the knees, so both need to fit in the frame. One person per photo, face to the camera, good light.

    • No sunglasses, masks or filters
    • The clothes in the photo are the clothes in the clip
    • Adults only
  2. 2

    The preview

    After the upload, the maker shows your photo in the 9:16 frame with this dance effect already selected. Check that the hands and knees are inside it; a waist-up crop drops the final move, so swap the photo before you generate.

  3. 3

    The dance

    Press Create video. The model, length and credit cost follow the site's current setup and show on the button before each run. When the clip is ready, download it or press Add music to make an original track for it.

Puerto Rican mami dance moves in order

Hands at the chest, arms wide, shoulders, arms crossed, knee lift with a slap, hands to the knees.

Seven moves run back to back on the Baby On The Track beat. Use them to check your clip: when a move is missing, the photo usually hides that arm or that knee. The duo version adds a place swap halfway through.

01

Hands together at the chest

Start still, palms pressed together at chest height, eyes on the camera.

02

Chest to open arms

From the chest, the arms fling out to the sides with the palms up.

03

Hands by the shoulders

The hands come up next to the shoulders and the shoulders shimmy on the beat.

04

Shoulders into crossed arms

Right after the shimmy, the arms cross in front of the body.

05

Knee and slap

Lean to one side, lift a knee and slap it with the hand.

06

Arms wide again

The arms open out a second time, the same as move two.

07

Hands to the knees

The finish drops both hands to the knees. In the porch sample it shows as a side lean with one hand on the knee.

Puerto Rican mami dance for two friends

Put photo 1 on the left and photo 2 on the right on Image, then animate the scene on Video.

The original routine is a duo, and it travelled under tags like #2persondance, #duo and #bff. The maker at the top takes one photo, so the two-person version runs in two steps: first a still of both of you on Image, which accepts several reference photos in one request on models that support it, then that still as the first frame on Video.

Photo 1 on the left

Add the photo of whoever starts on the left first: one person, head to knees, facing the camera. Ask in the prompt for that person on the left of the vertical frame, with room between the two of you for the swap.

Photo 2 on the right

The second photo takes the right side under the same rules: face visible, no sunglasses or filters, adults only. Once the still looks right, use it as the first frame on Video and describe the seven moves with the swap in the middle. The Two friends under the canopy sample follows the same order: two portraits, one still, then the clip.

What mami means in the Puerto Rican mami dance

Mami is mom in Puerto Rican speech and a warm way to call a woman; the trend plays on both.

Mami and boricua

In everyday Puerto Rican Spanish, mami means mom, and it is also an affectionate way to address a girl or a woman. Boricua is the name Puerto Ricans use for themselves, taken from Borikén, the Taíno name of the island. Spanish speakers search the trend as baile de la mami puertorriqueña or baile mami boricua.

Not bomba, not plena

It has nothing to do with Young Miko's older song Puerto Rican Mami. It is not a folk dance either: Puerto Rico's traditional dances are bomba and plena, and this is a TikTok routine. If you would rather start from your own scene than from the effect, make the still and bring it to life on Video.

Puerto Rican mami dance questions

Which TV show is the line from?

Everybody Hates Chris. Rochelle says it to her husband Julius in season 2, episode 16, "Everybody Hates Chain Snatching" (2007). The clip turned into a TikTok sound in early October 2026, and the hashtag built on the line began on October 13.

What sound do people dance to?

A beat by producer Baby On The Track, posted on October 16, 2026, with the sitcom line laid over it. That is the audio the routine is set to.

Is this Young Miko's Puerto Rican Mami?

No. Young Miko released a song with that title earlier; it is a separate track and has no link to the TikTok sound or the routine.

Who came up with the routine?

Two college friends in North Carolina, @_kenyaad and @brebre. They posted it on October 17, 2026 with the caption "OUR DC", which is why it spread as a two-person dance.

What kind of photo should I upload?

A head-to-knees or full-body shot of one adult facing the camera, with room for the arms. Leave out sunglasses, masks and filters; for the duo version, use one photo per person.

How were the clips on this page made?

They are remixes of two Seedance 2.0 Fast clips from October 26, 2026: trimmed, reframed and color graded, not mirrored. Making them cost this page no credits.
