What is the La Calabaza AI dance?
La Calabaza is the dancing-cats meme of autumn 2026: three tiny kittens stand up on their hind legs on a roadside at night and dance in perfect sync to the song "La Calabaza" ("The Pumpkin"), one in a cowboy hat and one in round glasses. People now put their own cats and dogs into it with AI.
This template makes it from one photo. The video follows a depth map of the original clip, so the stand-up, the sync dance and the turn land on the same beats; all three dancers become your pet, with its fur, markings and face. Videos start at 10 credits.
What the template recreates
One continuous low shot, 14 seconds, on the original's timing.
- 0–2.5 s
Sitting by the curb
Three of your pet sit hunched by the curb, heads down, as the camera creeps in.
- 2.5–4 s
Stand up
They look up, stand on their hind legs and lift their front paws. The middle one lets out a little meow.
- 4–9 s
The sync dance
A side-to-side sway with paws held out, in step with each other, as the camera moves closer.
- 9–14 s
Turn and close-up
All three turn their backs, turn round again and keep dancing; the clip ends close on the one in the hat.
Where the La Calabaza dance came from
The kittens are AI-made. The account @meowtakeover posted a trio of AI kittens dancing by a road on 28 June 2026, and on 27 August 2026 posted them again in a cowboy hat and round glasses, dancing to "La Calabaza". A green-screen copy of the kittens went up the next day, and its sound is the one most videos now use.
Then everyone joined: people pasted the kittens over their own dance videos, did the dance themselves, and turned the trio into their own pets with AI — a dachshund version posted on 9 September 2026 is one of the best known. With Halloween on 31 October, the pumpkin song is everywhere.

Photo tips for the best La Calabaza video
Show the whole body
A photo of your pet standing or sitting, whole body in frame, gives the dance the right shape.
Face sharp and forward
Eyes and nose clearly visible, so all three copies look like your pet.
Bright, even light
Daylight or a well-lit room keeps fur colour and markings right under the street lamps.
One animal per photo
Crop group shots to the one pet you mean; two animals in one photo can blend.

La Calabaza AI dance FAQ
A viral dancing-cats meme: three AI kittens stand up on a roadside at night and dance in sync to the song "La Calabaza", one wearing a cowboy hat and one round glasses. People remake it with their own pets, by dancing themselves and with AI.
The AI kitten account @meowtakeover. It posted a kitten trio dancing by a road on 28 June 2026 and the hat-and-glasses version set to "La Calabaza" on 27 August 2026; a green-screen copy the next day spread the sound.

This template is made for pets: the dancers are small animals standing on their hind legs, so a photo of a person would look odd. Use a photo of your cat or dog.
Yes. The middle copy wears the little black cowboy hat and the right one the round glasses, like the original; the one on the left wears nothing.
