# Single Ladies Dog Dance: The Song, the Viral Reel and How to Make Your Pet Dance Like Beyoncé

> Everything about the Single Ladies dog dance: the song, the trio reel it copies, the dachshund post that passed 40 million views, which pets work best and how to make yours from one photo.

Two dancers in a dark studio flip their hair to "Single Ladies", and in the middle spot, where the lead dancer should be, a long-haired dachshund dips, tilts and tosses its head on every beat. That clip passed 40 million TikTok views in a week and turned "make your dog dance like Beyoncé" into one of the biggest pet trends of October 2026.

## What song is it?

Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", released in October 2008. Its music video dance was choreographed by Frank Gatson Jr. and JaQuel Knight after a 1969 Bob Fosse routine. The TikTok trend uses an edit of the song dancers have used since November 2023, when the routine came back as a trio dance.

## Where did the dog version start?

- **15 September 2026:** @beridzelenee posts the routine with two other dancers in a dark studio, filmed from a low camera. It passes 5.8 million views.
- **Late September:** AI versions start putting a pet in the middle dancer's spot, and a CapCut template spreads the idea.
- **4 October:** the dachshund account @king_odiee posts its long-haired dog in the middle spot: "I learned some new dance moves from my girl". By 12 October it has 40.7 million views and 1.2 million shares.

## What happens in the clip

- **0–3 s:** the pet bows its head with the dancers, then pops up and looks into the lens.
- **3–10 s:** it sits in front and dips, tilts and lifts its head while the dancers behind do the moves.
- **10–15 s:** a big head toss on the same beat as the dancers' hair flips, fur flying, then a straight look at the camera.

The joke is the contrast: two dancers give it everything, and your pet does a few serious head moves like the star of the show.

## Which pets work best?

- **Fluffy or long-eared dogs.** The fur and ears fly on the head tosses, like the dachshund's.
- **Calm, serious faces.** A dog that looks unimpressed gets the biggest laughs.
- **Cats.** The twist nobody expects. A cat keeps its own face and gets gentler head moves.
- **Short-haired dogs.** They work too; the head and ears carry the moves.

Use one sharp photo with the whole body in view, from ears to paws, and only one animal in it.

## FAQ

### Is the dancing dog real?

No. The dancers are from a real reel; the pet in the middle is made with AI from one photo.

### Will Beyoncé be in my video?

No. The reel is a TikTok creator's own post, and your pet takes the middle dancer's place.

### My pet came out with long brown fur. Why?

That is the dachshund of the reel coming through. Use a photo where your pet's own coat and ears are clear and run it again.
