What is the Toc Toc dance?
It is built around one move you recognize in a second: both fists pumping in front of the chest, as if knocking on a door, while you hop on one foot with your knees up. Simple, a little silly and easy to copy, which is why it spread.
The version this template recreates is the group one: dancers line up on a stage and run at the camera one at a time. Each gets about a second of close-up, pulls a face and leaves the frame for the next. Halfway through, the line comes round for a second lap.
The trend is set to "Toc Toc", a French party song, and posts usually carry #toctoc. This site is independent and not affiliated with the artist or the original creators.
How many photos do you need?
One is enough. The template has three places at the front of the line:
| Photos | Who's in the video |
|---|---|
| 1 | You lead the line and come back on the second lap; every other place goes to background dancers. |
| 2 | Photo 1 leads, photo 2 is second, and both come back on the second lap. |
| 3 | Photos 1, 2 and 3 take the first three places, and 2 and 3 come back on the second lap. |
The price is the same whichever you choose.
How to make it
- Open the Toc Toc template.
- Add one to three photos. Photo 1 leads the line. One person per photo, face sharp and front-facing.
- Pick a quality and generate. The clip is about 10 seconds in 9:16.
- Download or share. The song is already in the MP4.
The theater stage, the blue lights and the moves come with the template; faces, hair and outfits follow your photos.
Photo tips
- Sharp and front-facing. Everyone runs right up to the lens.
- Hair you like. It is kept down to length, curl and color.
- Bright clothes stand out against the dark curtains.
- Funniest friend in photo 3. That place gets the biggest close-up face.
What does it cost?
Balanced is 10 credits at 480p and 20 at 720p, one of the cheapest templates on the site. Premium is 20 at 480p, 40 at 720p and 70 at 1080p. Without an account, one video starts at $7.99. No watermark, and failed renders are refunded automatically.
Caption ideas
- "Us arriving at the party like"
- "The group chat when someone says 'I'm outside'"
- "Knock knock. It's us."
