What is the group dance from one photo trend?

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

The group dance trend takes one ordinary group photo, from a wedding, an office party or a family holiday, and makes everyone in it break into the same dance. The contrast between the stiff pose and the moves is the joke. In Rift, add the group photo, share the dance you want or name it, and tell Spark 'everyone does this'. Tap Make for a video up to 15 seconds.

Add one group photo and tell Spark “everyone does this”, and Rift gets the whole group moving. Name the dance, or share the clip and have Spark copy its moves.

Why it spreads

It’s made for group chats: the whole family or team sees itself, and everyone forwards it.

What makes a good one

A posed photo. The stiffer, the funnier.
Everyone visible, full body if possible.
A simple dance with moves that read at a glance.
