What Is the Hop Hop Hop Dance?

The hop hop hop dance is a two-person TikTok dance gag where one of you points back, the other hops far behind and gets pressed flat, then a hard cut swaps you for the payback. One friend grins right at the phone while the other hops on the beat far back, ducking under a flat hand on three "hop" hits until they crouch squashed. People also call this routine the Hop Hop Hop AI Dance, the gabi trend and the Her Boyfriend dance.

On October 18, 2026, a TikTok duo post of two friends doing the point, the hops and the squash passed 3.8 million views, and people started calling it the gabi trend. On October 25, 2026, an AI-made TikTok reel of two Russian folk-hero characters doing it in a night parking lot passed 2.6 million views. The song is «Её парень» ("Her Boyfriend") by the Russian artist Shluzov, slowed down, and its sound has been used in more than 100,000 TikTok videos.

The routine runs on tight beats and simple visual tricks. The one up front grins and points back over their shoulder, while the one far back hops with little kicks. A flat hand comes down a step on each of the three "hop" hits until the far one is crouched low, and at about 4.3 seconds a hard cut swaps you for three more presses. It is forced perspective, so the hand never touches anyone.

People make their own with a best friend or a partner, and the joke is the contrast between how hard each of you goes. The top comment under the TikTok duo post reads "100% and 10%" (112,474 likes). Under an AI-made duo video, the top comment is "are ppl fr its ai" (21,241 likes).

Seadanse builds the point, the hops, the presses, the hard cut, the night parking lot and the trend's original sound into our hop hop hop dance AI. Add photo 1 for the one up front and, if you like, photo 2 for the one far back, or add one photo of the two of you, or one photo of you alone to play both parts. Everyone keeps their own face, hair and clothes. Place a person, a cartoon, anime or game character, or a dog or cat in either spot. You get an 8-second vertical 9:16 video for TikTok and Reels in 480p, 720p or 1080p with no watermark on exported video, for $9.90 for one 720p video, with no sign-up.

What happens in my hop hop hop dance video?

You get an 8-second video with one hard cut. The one up front grins into the lens and points back at the one far back, who hops with little kicks. A flat hand presses down on each of the three "hop" hits until the far one crouches low. At about 4.3 seconds, a hard cut swaps your places for payback, and three more presses leave the first one squashed in a night parking lot under street lamps, with the trend's original sound.

Yes. Add your photo as photo 1 and your friend's photo as photo 2, or upload one photo of the two of you where the person on the left starts up front. Tick the box to confirm you have the right to use the photos and that any person in them is 18 or older. Each of you gets squashed once, both of you keep your own face, hair and clothes, and one photo or two cost the same.

Can I use a costume, a cartoon or game character, or my pet?

Yes. A photo in a costume dances in that costume. A cartoon character, an anime character or a game character works in either spot, and when photo 1 is a character, the whole video takes that style. A dog or cat stays on four legs, lifts a front paw to point, and drops flat onto its belly when squashed.

How long is the video, does it have the sound, and will it fit TikTok and Reels?

Your video is 8 seconds long with one hard cut at about 4.3 seconds. It comes with the trend's original sound from the first second, complete with the three "hop" hits on the presses.
