Smalltown Boy AI is the AI dance video trend where two dancers at a red wooden fence take turns wailing up close to the camera, hands on their heads, while the other dances behind, swapping places halfway, to the "Smalltown Boy" song. People also call it the Smalltown Boy AI dance, the Smalltown Boy dance trend, the Smalltown Boy cat dance, the Smalltown Boy dance filter and the small town boy dance.
"Smalltown Boy" is the 1984 debut single of the British synth-pop band Bronski Beat, released by London Recordings on their debut album The Age of Consent, with Jimmy Somerville singing falsetto. It reached No. 3 on the UK singles chart, No. 1 in the Netherlands, and was a No. 1 dance hit in the US. In 2026, the song plays in a dance scene in the Netflix series Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, which is a different dance from the Smalltown Boy routine.
On October 2, 2026, @bellvtrix.ai posted a TikTok of two cats, a ginger-and-white cat and a grey cat, doing the routine at a red fence to the "Smalltown Boy" song. The clip passed 11 million views and 1.2 million likes. People then remade it with their own pets, with couples and best friends, and with cartoon, film and superhero character duos. One superhero duo version passed 1.6 million views on TikTok.
You make your own version with two photos, one for each dancer: the one who wails first and the one who takes over after the trade. You can use pets, couples, best friends and character duos. The red fence, the moves and the cut stay the same.

The Smalltown Boy AI trend is the viral dance video trend where two dancers at a red wooden fence take turns wailing up close to the camera, hands on their heads, while the other dances behind, swapping places halfway, to Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy". On October 2, 2026, @bellvtrix.ai posted it on TikTok with two cats, and it passed 11 million views and 1.2 million likes. People now remake the dance with their own pets, couples, best friends and character duos, and the whole routine and song come built into our Smalltown Boy AI generator.
The red-fence routine, the wail up close and the trade of places come from @bellvtrix.ai's two-cat TikTok posted on October 2, 2026, and every Smalltown Boy AI video keeps those exact moves. The song itself comes from Bronski Beat in 1984, and in 2026 it also plays in a dance scene in the Netflix series Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, which is a different dance.
"Smalltown Boy" is the 1984 debut single of the British synth-pop band Bronski Beat, released by London Recordings from their debut album The Age of Consent, with Jimmy Somerville's falsetto. It reached No. 3 on the UK singles chart, No. 1 in the Netherlands and No. 1 on the US dance chart. Every video made here comes with the original "Smalltown Boy" song from the first second, using the exact sound from the trend.
No. One photo is enough to make your video. When you upload one photo, our Smalltown Boy AI generator creates a matching partner for you: a second pet of the same kind with a different coat, a character in the same style or a friend. You can add a second photo to pick your partner yourself, and one photo or two photos cost the same.
Dancer 1 from photo 1 wails first. They perform the close-up right at the camera while your partner dances behind at the fence. On the cut at 7 seconds, the two trade places so your partner takes the second close-up, so place the dancer you want to wail first in photo 1.
Yes. Your cat or dog dances the routine up on its hind legs, like the two cats that started the trend. You can add two photos to feature two cats or a cat and a dog together. If you upload one pet photo, your pet gets a matching partner of the same kind with a different coat.
Yes. A cartoon character, an anime character, a game character, a superhero-style character or an AI-made character image all work, and each keeps its own style. When you upload one character photo, its partner is created as a character in that same style.
One 14-second 720p video is $9.90, and one $9.90 credit pack covers it. The same pack covers a 480p video too. A 1080p video uses 1,480 credits, about $23.60 at the $39.90 pack of 2,500 credits, with the rest of the pack staying in your balance. One photo or two photos cost the same. Credit packs are a one-time payment with no subscription, and credits stay valid for 12 months. You buy with no sign-up, and sign-up is free with no card and adds 40 starter credits. The price shows on the Create button before you pay, and a render that fails returns its credits automatically. The Seadanse pricing page lists every credit pack.
Yes. Everyone keeps the look from their own photo, including face, hair or fur, and clothes. The background of your photo is left out so you stand right at the red fence, and a real photo comes out photoreal. For the best result, upload a clear photo of one person, pet or character facing the camera in good light.
The video runs 14 seconds, from the first close-up to the end of the second close-up, with the "Smalltown Boy" song. It exports as an MP4 in vertical 9:16 for TikTok and Reels at 480p, 720p or 1080p. There is no watermark on your exported video, so you can share it immediately.
Every video made on this page is an AI video. AI makes the whole scene again, putting the two dancers from your photos into motion at the red fence so it plays like the trend videos.
