Night exterior of a dark brick apartment block seen from across the street; only one window is warmly lit. In it, small at mid-frame, the woman from the first reference stands on the LEFT and the French bulldog from the second reference stands upright on its hind legs on the RIGHT, next to a small pink cube speaker on a table, a long dark curtain at the right edge. Keep both faces, fur and clothes. Vertical 9:16 cinematic night photo. No text, no logos, no real celebrities.

Window dance trend samples at the lit window
A solo dancer and a dancer with a dog, remixed from 10-second Seedance 2.0 Fast originals.
Alone at the lit window starts from one portrait of a man in a mustard sweater. You and your dog at the window starts from two photos: a woman in green pajamas and a French bulldog. Behind each card is a 10-second Seedance 2.0 Fast original (720p, 9:16) from October 26, 2026. For this page each one was trimmed to about 9 seconds, reframed with a slow zoom and given new color and speed, never mirrored. They were not made in this page's maker and cost no credits. Both people are invented adults; no celebrity faces.

Alone at the lit window
A man in a mustard sweater in the only lit window of a brick block: the camera moves in, he dances by a pink speaker, smiles when he spots it, and a dark curtain covers the glass.
A woman in green pajamas dances in the lit window while her French bulldog stands upright beside her; she looks at the camera, smiles and reaches for the curtain.

Your photo
Pick a sharp, well-lit shot with your face toward the lens and no sunglasses. By the end the window fills the screen, so your face needs to stay large; a far-off full-body photo loses it. Whatever you wear in the photo is what you dance in.

The window
The effect is already selected when the page opens. One photo goes in and the maker builds the night shot: a dark building, a single warm window, you inside. Use the preview to confirm your face is readable before you generate.

The curtain
Press Create video. The push-in from across the street, the dance, the glance at the camera and the closing curtain are part of the shot; you do not type any of it. The button shows the credits each run takes.
US how-tos say window peeper dance; Spanish tutorials say baile en la ventana.
US guides also use peeking-through-the-window dance, French ones say la tendance Window Dance, and the tags #windowpeeperdance and #danceofthewindow appeared on October 24.
The window peeper, October 20
A CapCut template dropped people into a night view of the one lit window in a dark block, eating a burger until they noticed the camera and drew the curtain.
English: window peeper, window peeper dance
Spanish: told as the start of the baile en la ventana
Date: October 20, 2026
The dance, October 22
UK account @dancevault14 posted the Window Dance template clip: same window, someone dancing by a small speaker, a grin at the lens, curtain shut. It had 975,600 views by October 25.
Use one sharp photo of the animal alone; pet takes started on October 25, 2026.
The first pet versions showed up on October 25: a dog in a red tracksuit and a cat in a tuxedo dancing in the lit window.
Just the pet
Upload one clear photo of the animal with no people or other pets in it and its face in good light. The maker above treats it like a portrait: your pet takes the window, dances, notices the camera, and the curtain comes across.
With two photos, one of you and one of your dog, first build the frame of both of you in the lit window in Image, then animate it in Video. That is how the You and your dog sample was set up. Shoot both photos face-on and well lit so the faces stay big.
Window dance trend with a closed-curtain last frame
On Video, set the lit window as the first frame and the closed curtain as the last.
The original runs about 12 seconds in one move: a continuous push-in from across the street until the window fills the frame, carefree dancing, the dancer notices the camera, smiles and pulls a dark curtain. To lock that ending, open Video and choose a model that takes a first and a last frame.
First frame: the brick facade at night with your window lit and you inside, like the left image. Last frame: the same window behind the dark curtain, like the right image. Make both pictures in Image, upload them in Video, and the model fills in the dance between them.
One night shot that glides toward the single lit window of a dark building. Someone inside dances next to a little speaker, realizes they are being filmed, grins and yanks the curtain closed.
How is it related to the window peeper clips?
It reuses the same window. The October 20, 2026 template had a person eating a burger there; two days later the Window Dance version swapped the burger for dancing before the curtain.
Which photo gives the cleanest result?
A sharp, bright shot with your face toward the lens and no sunglasses. Once the window fills the screen your face must still read, and your outfit in the photo carries into the clip.
Is a famous person's face okay to use?
Lots of template posts lean on star or character faces, but putting a real person's face in without their okay is the part to skip. Stick to your own face, a friend who said yes, or your pet.
What do Spanish speakers call it?
Baile en la ventana. US guides also say window peeper dance, and French ones say la tendance Window Dance.
How were the sample clips made?
Each is a remix of a 10-second Seedance 2.0 Fast original from October 26, 2026: trimmed, reframed and regraded. No credits were spent on them for this page.
