Three friends on a misty green hillside above a lake. They groove, slap their hands onto their heads on the beat, one of them gets a pouting close-up, and they walk straight at the camera. That's the "wassup in a minute" dance, and you can make it from one to three photos without flying to Switzerland or learning the moves.
What is the wassup in a minute dance?
It's a 15-second trio dance that took over TikTok at the end of October 2026. It comes from a post captioned "swiss side quest" by creator Niana Guerrero, filmed with two friends on a hillside in Switzerland, set to a mix by @zbee. On TikTok it spreads under tags like #wassupinaminutewassup and #inaminutewassup, and people search for it as "wassup in a minute" or "what's up in a minute".
Our Wassup In A Minute template generates it from photos. It follows the moves, the camera and the cuts of the original, not the people in it.
How to make it
- Open the Wassup In A Minute template.
- Add one to three photos, one person each. Photo 1 dances in the middle and gets the close-up. Photo 2 dances on the right, photo 3 on the left.
- Only have one photo? That's fine: the other two dancers are generated as ordinary people who don't look like anyone in your photos.
- Pick a version and generate. Premium or Balanced, at the quality you want. Both render the whole 15 seconds.
- Download the MP4. It comes with the trend's mix. To use your own sound, turn Include the song off or use Download without music.
- Post it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts and tag your friends.
What happens in the video
15 seconds, 16:9 widescreen, four shots cut on the beat:
- 0–3.6 s, hands on heads: a medium shot of the three of you in a row. You groove, then all slap both hands onto your heads on the same beat.
- 3.6–7.2 s, the close-up: photo 1 up close, pointing at the lens, pouting, then breaking into a grin, while the other two wave behind.
- 7.2–10.8 s, the walk: a wide shot of all three walking at the camera side by side, then stepping in place on the beat.
- 10.8–15 s, the freestyle: very wide, the three of you spread across the hillside and freestyle to the end.
Every version keeps the hillside, the lake and the clouds on the mountains, whatever your photos show.
Photos that work best
- Faces clear and toward the camera. Above all for photo 1: the close-up is the shot everyone watches.
- One person per photo. Crop group photos so each one shows a single face.
- Good light. Daylight or a bright room keeps skin tone and hair colour true.
- Your outfit stays. Everyone keeps the clothes from their photo. For the trend's look, use a photo in a puffer jacket and wide trousers.
- Glasses only if you wear them. The original dancers wear sunglasses; your video only shows glasses that are in your photo.
- Only photos of people who agreed to it.

Want to film it for real?
Go for it: the moves are simple and it's made for groups. Find an open space with a view, put the friend with the best face for the camera in the middle, film in landscape, cut on the beat at about 3.6, 7.2 and 10.8 seconds, and use the trend's sound from TikTok. The AI version is for when your friends live in three different cities, or it's raining.
