To make the Hideaway tractor dance video, open the [tractor dance trend on vswp](/trend/hideaway-tractor-dance/), add a photo of the dancer and one of the friend who bursts into the frame, and start. Both people are already found in the 13-second clip, so there's nothing to film and no beat to hit. The tractor, the moves, the camera and the sound stay as in the original, you can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes.

## What is the Hideaway tractor dance?

It's a short vertical video for two. One person dances with total commitment in front of a parked tractor, as if it were a music video, while a friend keeps barging in right in front of the camera, pulling faces and singing along, then vanishing again. By early October 2026 it was known in Russian as «ИИ танец на фоне трактора» (the AI dance in front of a tractor), and it's set to Kiesza's 2014 hit Hideaway, the song whose own video is one long take of her dancing down a Brooklyn street.

In the clip on vswp, a red-haired guy in glasses and a black T-shirt dances in a parking lot at sunset, with a blue tractor and apartment blocks behind him. His friend in a maroon sweater pops into the frame again and again, so close that his face fills half of it.

## Who should dance, and who should burst in?

- **You and your best friend.** The classic: one of you takes it seriously, the other ruins it.
- **A couple.** One dances, the other photobombs. It works both ways round.
- **Brothers and sisters.** The sibling who always gets in the way finally gets the part.
- **Coworkers.** With their permission, the team chat will love it.
- **The friend who photobombs every picture.** Give them the role they were born for.

Anyone can play either role, whatever they look like. A woman's photo can take either place too, and she keeps her own hair from the photo.

## How do you make your own version?

1. **Ask both people first.** You'll put two faces on a viral video, so make sure both are in on the joke.
2. **Open the trend.** Go to the [tractor dance trend page](/trend/hideaway-tractor-dance/).
3. **Sign in with Telegram.** There's no password to create.
4. **Add the photos.** Put one on the dancer's card and one on the friend's card. A card without a photo keeps its person as filmed, so you can also replace just one of them.
5. **Choose the look.** With "Keep the original look" on, the black T-shirt and the maroon sweater stay and only faces and hair change. With it off, the clothes come from your photos.
6. **Try the free preview.** Press "Make the free preview" to see about 5 seconds, at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark.
7. **Make the full video.** Check the price and press "Create the full video", at 480p or 720p.
8. **Download the MP4.** It keeps the original sound. On a phone you can share it straight to Telegram or your stories.

## Which photos work best?

**The friend: a sharp face.** He comes right up to the lens, so his face takes up a big part of the frame. A clear, front-facing photo in good light, with nothing covering the face, makes those close-ups look like the person.

**The dancer: full body.** The dancer is a few meters from the camera and seen almost head to toe, so his face is small. A full-body photo of one person carries the silhouette and, with "Keep the original look" off, the clothes.

**One person per photo.** If two people are in a picture, crop it so only the one you want is left. Glasses in a photo are kept in every shot.

More tips are in [which photos work best for an AI video swap](/guides/best-photos-for-ai-video-swap/).

## What can go wrong, and how do you fix it?

- **Blurry hands.** The dance is quick and the arms fly, which is hard for any AI video. Another take often fixes it.
- **The friend doesn't look like them.** He moves fast and very close to the lens. Use a sharper photo where the face is large; see [what to do if the face doesn't look like you](/guides/ai-face-swap-does-not-look-like-you/).
- **The roles are mixed up.** Check that each photo is on the right card: the dancer is the one by the tractor, the friend is the one who bursts in.

## How much does it cost?

You can [start for free](/guides/free-ai-video-face-swap/): the preview is about 5 seconds of your video at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark. The full video is paid in Telegram Stars. The price depends on the length, the quality and the number of people, and you see it before you start. If a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back.

## FAQ

### What song is in the tractor dance trend?

The trend is set to Kiesza's Hideaway (2014). vswp keeps the sound of the clip on the trend page, so your version plays exactly what you hear there.

### Can I make it alone, without a friend?

Yes. Put your photo on the dancer's card and leave the friend as filmed, or play both parts yourself with two different photos.

### Do I need a tractor?

No. Nothing is filmed: the tractor, the parking lot and the sunset come from the original clip, and only the people change.

### Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?

Yes, if both people in it agree. Add an AI label: rules on labeling generated videos are spreading, including the EU AI Act's transparency rules for deepfakes from August 2026, and they differ by country, so this isn't legal advice.
