The Bad Times dance is short and easy to recognise: four poses, a walk up to the camera and an argument at close range. This is the 20-second routine in Oakgen's template, move by move, with what each stretch asks of your photo and why the timing stays exactly as it is.
Standing upright at full-body distance, the dancer presses both front paws, or hands, to the sides of its head with the head bowed, then throws both up beside its face with the pads or palms facing the camera. This is the first look at the whole body, so the coat, the markings and the build need to match your photo from the start.
The dancer turns its body side-on and keeps its head toward the camera, one paw at the side of its head and the other on its hip, swaying on the beat. The side of the body and the tail show here, which a photo taken slightly from the side helps with.
Half-turned with the head to the side, the dancer holds both paws up palms-out and pushes them away in time with the beat, like refusing something. The paws are in front of the chest and easy to see, so this is where to check that a pet's paws stay paws.
The paws drop, the dancer straightens and strides toward the camera until the face fills the top of the frame. The camera stays where it is; only the dancer moves closer, so the kitchen behind becomes soft.
The vocal hook comes in and the dancer argues at close range: leaning into the lens, tilting its head, wagging and pointing a paw at the camera, and swinging a paw toward the lens and back. This is the longest stretch and the one people remember, and it is the hardest for the face, because it is biggest on screen.
The dancer steps back to mid distance with a paw raised and a quick tongue flick, then leans straight back in and stares into the camera as the beat returns. The video ends on that stare; the template adds no bow, wave or new ending, and every move keeps its original timing so it stays on the song.
Add a photo for the dancer.
Upload one clear photo of your pet, or of yourself or someone who agreed to appear. A full-body photo with the face, ears, legs and paws visible works best, and the face needs to be sharp for the close-up.

Watch that the face, coat and markings stay your pet's when it leans into the lens and that its paws stay paws, then download your portrait MP4 with the original song.
One photo casts the dancer. A dog stays a dog and a cat stays a cat, with its own face, coat, markings and tail, standing upright on its hind legs. A person can take the role too and does the routine with hands and feet.
Paws pressed to the head, paws thrown up, a paw on the hip, the palms-out push, then the walk up to the lens and the close-up argument with a paw pointed at the camera.
All 20 seconds in one continuous take, timed to "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, from the first pose to the stare into the lens as the beat drops back in.

It is a 20-second portrait clip of a dog standing upright on its hind legs in a bright kitchen and dancing to "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel: paws pressed to the head, paws thrown up, a paw on the hip, a palms-out push, then a walk right up to the camera to argue at close range, pointing a paw at the lens, before it steps back and leans in for a stare. Oakgen's template puts your pet, or you, in the dog's place and keeps the kitchen, the moves and the song.
After the song. Cats, dogs and people all post the routine as the Bad Times trend, and searches such as "bad times dog trend" and "bad times ai dance" show up as suggestions. Oakgen calls the template Bad Times Dance.
"BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, identified from the audio. Your video keeps that original soundtrack. Nobody in the video sings or lip-syncs; the dancer only dances and gestures.
Yes. The template keeps the uploaded animal's species, coat and markings and has it stand upright on its hind legs for the whole routine. Bodies very different from a tall, long-legged dog vary more, and paws reaching toward the lens are the hardest moment, so review the video before sharing.
Yes. A person takes the dancer's place and does the same poses and the close-up argument with hands and feet, in the same kitchen. Use your own photo or one of someone who agreed to appear.
The first 20 seconds of the sound the trend uses: the beat under the poses, then the vocal hook from about 11 seconds while the dancer argues at close range, ending as the beat drops back in. Longer posts of the trend carry on with more of the routine; this template stops at that drop.
