How to Make the Pimp Walk Entrance Trend: The Walk, the Door and the Video From Your Photos

TL;DR — Here's how to make the pimp walk entrance trend: someone holds a shop door, you come through low and slow with the pimp walk, slide past the camera and pose in about 14 seconds. You can film it with a friend, or make it from one or two photos with nobody filming. Seadanse's Pimp Walk Entrance AI page does it in three steps, with the trend's original sound, for $9.90 at 720p.

The clip is everywhere on feeds right now, and viewers want their own. Under one tutorial, a viewer asked, "How do people do this".

Most how-to answers teach the old pimp walk on its own, a 1970s strut, and leave out the door, the dip and the pose that make this trend.

Below, you'll see the video beat by beat, how to do it by hand, and how to make it from your photos in three steps.

Here's what's below:

• The beats: the 14 seconds, timed.
• By hand: the moves and the shot.
• From photos: three steps.
• The FAQ: the song, CapCut, cost.

What the Pimp Walk Entrance Trend Looks Like

The pimp walk entrance trend is one handheld shot from inside a small shop, facing its glass door, where one person holds the door and the other comes in with the pimp walk.

Here's how our 14-second version plays out:

• At the door (0 to 2 seconds): the door holder bounces and grooves beside the open glass door. You wait outside in the dark, then walk up to it.
• The threshold (2 to 4 seconds): you step through the door with bent knees and a little red cloth in one hand, dropping lower with every step, hips swinging.
• The low walk (4 to 8 seconds): you cross the black mat toward the camera in a low, wide-knee walk, one hand near the floor. Your head bobs, your hair bounces, and the door holder keeps grooving behind you.
• The slide (8 to 12 seconds): still low, you slide sideways past the camera, which turns to follow you, then lean right into the lens.
• The rise (about 12 seconds): you stand up to full height in one move.
• The pose (12.5 to 14 seconds): you flick the little red cloth at your face and pose with a grin at the lens, while the door holder laughs and grooves behind you.

The trend's original sound plays from the first second, and nobody speaks.

How to Do the Pimp Walk Entrance by Hand

To do the pimp walk entrance by hand, you need two people and one phone held inside the shop, facing the door.

Here are the moves, in order:

• The door: one person stands inside the shop's glass door, holds it open and grooves to the beat, hyping the other one in.
• The lean: the other comes in from the dark with the pimp walk: lean back, knees loose, a bounce on every step, lower with every step through the door.
• The dip: across the floor toward the phone in a low, wide-knee walk, almost down to the floor, head bobbing.
• The slide: still low, a slide sideways past the phone, then a lean right into the lens.
• The pose: a rise to full height in one move and a pose at the camera.

It's one take in real time, about 14 seconds, from the door to the pose.

The pimp walk itself is a slow, swaggering strut with a lean back and a bounce on every step, known since the 1970s from funk dancing and locking.

With photos, you skip the shop, the door and the person holding the phone when you make the pimp walk entrance from your photos.
