Does the Toc Toc AI dance video come with sound?
Yes. The Toc Toc AI dance video keeps the audio from the trend clip, lined up with the knocks and knee lifts, so it is ready to post. To use a different sound on TikTok or Reels, mute the clip's audio in the editor and pick another track. The included audio is part of the meme format and does not grant any music rights.
What is the Toc Toc dance trend, and what song is it?
The Toc Toc dance is a TikTok trend set to "Toc toc", a 2015 party song by the French entertainer Patrick Sébastien; "toc toc" is French for "knock knock". The dance is deliberately silly: bounce in place, lift one knee and then the other, keep the arms loose and knock on an invisible door. In October 2026 the TikTok challenge spread from France around the world, which Patrick Sébastien himself called a surprise in an interview with Sud Radio, and AI versions quickly followed, putting AI characters and then ordinary people into the same routine. A Toc Toc AI dance video on LeafReel generates a new performance by the person in your photo; it does not reuse anyone's original clip.
