# How to make the That's My Dawg dance AI video (club and hallway versions) > Make the That's My Dawg dance AI video from one photo, as the floral shirt dancer in a club or solo in a hallway at home, with steps, photo tips and the cost. Source: https://vswp.app/guides/thats-my-dawg-dance-ai-video/ · Updated 2026-10-06 To make the That's My Dawg dance AI video, pick one of its two versions on vswp, the [club cut with the gray-haired man in a floral shirt](/trend/that-s-my-dawg-club/) or the [solo dance in a hallway at home](/trend/that-s-my-dawg/), and add one photo to the dancer. Each clip has one person to replace and nothing to film: the moves, camera, light and sound stay as in the original. You can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes. ## What is the That's My Dawg dance? The meme started in October 2023, when Roldan Dançarino, a Brazilian freestyle dance account, posted a phone video of a gray-haired man in a floral shirt and white shorts dancing at a party in Brazil. Days later the parody account Eggs Tyrone reposted it over Lil Baby's 2017 debut single "My Dawg", and its hook became the dance's name. "That's my dawg" is slang for "that's my guy", what you shout when a friend does something bold. It's also known as the floral shirt dance or, after a joke on football pages, the Mourinho dance. [vswp](/) has two versions as ready trends: a 4-second cut of the original party clip and a 27-second home take in a hallway. ## Club or hallway: which should you pick? Both have one dancer to replace. | | Club | Hallway | |---|---|---| | The dancer | Gray-haired man in a floral shirt and white shorts | Young man with an afro, dark hoodie and red pants | | Length | 4 seconds | 27 seconds | | Around him | A packed dance floor under colored lights | Nobody, just a bright hallway in daylight | | Free preview | Only part of the clip | About 5 of the 27 seconds | **The club version is the meme everyone knows.** One burst of loose, confident freestyle in a crowd that stays as filmed. It's funniest with someone nobody expects to dance like that: your dad, your most serious coworker or the friend who never dances. **The hallway version is a full solo.** Almost half a minute of moves and nobody else in the frame, so all eyes are on whoever you put in. Send it to them with "that's my dawg" as the caption. **The price follows the length.** With one dancer in each, the 4-second club cut costs less than the 27-second hallway video at the same quality. Can't choose? One good photo works in both: start with the [floral shirt dance in the club](/trend/that-s-my-dawg-club/), then make the other. ## How do you make your version? 1. **Ask first.** Use only a photo of someone who agreed to it. 2. **Open the trend.** Both are in [Trends](/trend/) with the dancer already found. 3. **Sign in with Telegram.** No password needed. 4. **Add the photo to the dancer.** In the club, everyone else stays as filmed. 5. **Choose the look.** With "Keep the original look" on, the floral shirt and shorts, or the hoodie and red pants, stay and only the face and hair change. With it off, the look comes from your photo. 6. **Try the free preview.** Press "Make the free preview" first; on the club cut it covers only part of the clip. 7. **Create the full video.** Check the price and press "Create the full video", at 480p or 720p. 8. **Download the MP4.** It keeps the clip's own sound, and on a phone you can share it straight to Telegram or your stories.

One person per photo, sharp, well lit, with the face clearly visible. ### The club version - **A bright, open face.** He dances under dim colored lights, head down, so use a well-lit photo with the whole face visible: no sunglasses, hands or hair over it. - **Keep the outfit.** The floral shirt and white shorts are half the joke, so leave "Keep the original look" on. Then a sharp portrait is enough. ### The hallway version - **Full body for your own clothes.** A full-body photo of one person carries clothes, hair and silhouette best; turn the look off to dance in your outfit. - **Your hair, not his.** Hair changes with the face, so the afro becomes the hairstyle from your photo. A daylight photo suits the bright hallway. More tips: [which photos work best for swapping a person in a video](/guides/best-photos-for-ai-video-swap/). ## What if something looks off? It's generative AI, so a take can miss. In the club, fast steps and the crowd can blur a hand or the face. In the hallway, the slim dancer's wide moves are harder for a very different build. Try a sharper photo with "Remake with other photos", and if the face doesn't look like them, see [how to fix the likeness](/guides/ai-face-swap-does-not-look-like-you/). ## How much does it cost? You can [start for free](/guides/free-ai-video-face-swap/): every new user gets one free preview, about 5 seconds at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark. The full video is paid in Telegram Stars (⭐) and has no mark. 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 automatically. ## FAQ ### Is the That's My Dawg dancer José Mourinho? No. Football pages joked that the gray-haired man from the 2023 party clip in Brazil was Mourinho, hence the Mourinho dance. The hallway clip shows a different, younger dancer. ### What song is the That's My Dawg dance? The meme is known for "My Dawg" by Lil Baby (2017), not "Mikolton (Dat's My Dawg)" by Dear Silas (2024). vswp keeps each clip's own sound. ### Can I make it with a group of friends? Each clip has one dancer, so make one video per friend, or see [how to swap a group of friends into one video](/guides/swap-a-group-of-friends/). ### Can I post it on TikTok or Reels? Yes, if the person in it agrees. Add an AI label: the EU AI Act's disclosure rule for deepfakes applies from August 2026, and rules differ by country, so this isn't legal advice.
