The routine, beat by beat

01

0 to 4 seconds: the small groove

Both dancers stand side by side facing the camera and bounce in place. The hands stay close to the chest: palms pressed together, hands rolling, a quick point forward. It reads as calm, almost casual, which is the setup for the bigger moves.

02

4 to 7 seconds: the big arms

The arms open up. Both swing their arms out wide on the beat; the dancer on the right throws one fist straight up above the head with the other arm pointing out, while the dancer on the left folds both arms low across the body. It is the frame Oakgen uses as the poster on the trend page.

03

7 to 9 seconds: arms wide, first steps

Both open their arms wide again, then bring the hands together and start stepping. The dancer on the left lifts one knee, which leads into the crossover.

04

9 to 11 seconds: the crossover

The left dancer steps forward and to the right with a high knee and a wide arm swing while the right dancer slips behind to the left. For about a second the two overlap. When it clears, they have traded sides. In an AI version this is where to look hardest: each face should come out on the far side on its own body and outfit.

05

11 to 13 seconds: hand to the forehead

From their new places both raise a hand to the forehead, partly covering the face, then drop it. It lands like a reaction to the line in the sound.

06

13 to 15 seconds: the finish

Both groove in place with the hands at chest height and end standing side by side, facing the camera, on the opposite sides from where they started. There is no bow or freeze at the end; the clip simply stops.

07

Why the template keeps the timing

Every move sits on the beat of the original sound, and the video keeps that sound. Speeding up or trimming any part would put the moves off the beat, so the template follows the reference frame for frame, holding only the final frame as padding that is cut before you download.

    Review quality and price

    Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, both photo preparations and three scene preparations.

  3. 03

    Check the switch

    Watch the crossover at about 10 seconds: each face should stay with its own body and outfit on both sides of the frame. Then download your portrait MP4 with the original sound.

01

Two of you, full body

Each photo casts one dancer: face, hair, build and the outfit you are wearing in the photo. Nobody from the reference clip stays in your video.

02

The whole routine

All 15 seconds from a fixed camera: the small grooves, the big arm swings, the knee lifts, the crossover where you trade places and the hand to the forehead, on the beat.

03

The original sound

Your video keeps the clip's audio, the "Puerto Rican Mami" beat by Baby On The Track. Nobody on screen talks or lip-syncs; you just dance.

04

A real dance as reference

The preview is a duo version of the dance from TikTok, used only for its moves and timing. It is not an Oakgen result.

Photo tips

  • One person per photo
  • Full body, head to shoes

  • Even light, no heavy shadows
  • Check faces after the switch

Questions & answers

What is the Puerto Rican Mami Dance AI trend?

It is a 15-second duo dance that took off on TikTok in October 2026: two friends side by side, full body, grooving and swinging their arms on the beat, trading places in the middle and finishing with a hand to the forehead. Oakgen's template puts you and a friend in the two dancers' places and keeps the moves, the hallway, the camera and the sound.

Where does the name come from?

From the sound. The dance is set to "Puerto Rican Mami" by Baby On The Track, a beat built on a chopped line of dialogue from the TV sitcom Everybody Hates Chris: "Is that what you tell your little Puerto Rican mami?" People post the dance with that line as the caption and the hashtag #puertoricanmami, so the dance goes by the same name.

Is this the Young Miko song?

No. Young Miko has a different song with the same title. This trend uses the "Puerto Rican Mami" beat by Baby On The Track, the sound the dance videos are posted with.

Is Oakgen connected to the show or the producer?

No. Oakgen is not affiliated with Everybody Hates Chris, its makers or Baby On The Track. The show is only where the line in the beat comes from.

Do I need two photos?

Yes. Dancer A and Dancer B each need a photo, so neither of the dancers in the reference clip appears in your video.

Which dancer is which?

Dancer A starts on the left and Dancer B on the right. At about 10 seconds Dancer A steps forward to the right while Dancer B passes behind to the left, so you finish on opposite sides. Each dancer keeps their own face and outfit the whole time.

What do we wear?

Whatever you are wearing in your photos. Each dancer's outfit comes from their own photo, so full-body photos in the clothes you want work best.

Do we have to say the line?

No. The line is part of the sound. In the video nobody talks or lip-syncs; both dancers only dance.

Whose photos can I use?

Your own, or photos of people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.

How long is the video?

15 seconds in portrait 9:16, one fixed shot from the first groove to the last pose.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. It is a duo version of the dance from TikTok, shown for its moves and timing, not an Oakgen result. Its dancers are never reused: both roles come from your photos. Review both faces after the switch before sharing.

How much does it cost?

3,365 credits per 720p video. The quote includes both photo preparations, three scene references and the complete video. Check it before generating.
