The trend

What is the RainDance AI trend?

Updated October 7, 2026

The RainDance AI trend is a short two-person music video set to “Raindance” by Dave and Tems: one person waits on a wooden dock, the other sings to them on the beach, and it ends with the two side by side at sunset. Since late September 2026, people on TikTok and Instagram Reels have been recreating it with AI, starring themselves, their partners and their best friends.

What happens in a RainDance video

Every RainDance video follows the same setup, which is why it is so recognisable in a feed:

  • The opening: on a sunny day, one person sits alone at the end of a wooden dock over the sea.
  • The singer: the other person sings to them in close-ups by the sea and dances on the dock, and the two sit together on the sand.
  • The ending: the two sit side by side on the beach at sunset, seen from behind, then close together on the sand.
  • The sound: “Raindance” by Dave and Tems, added in TikTok or Reels.

Why the RainDance trend took off

The format is simple to read in one second - two people, one serenade, a sunset - and it works for almost any pairing. Couples use it as a love note and friends use it as an inside joke. The more unexpected the pair, the more it gets shared.

How people make RainDance videos with AI

Filming at a real dock and beach is hard to arrange, so most creators use AI instead. With RainDance AI you upload two photos - person 1 waits on the dock, person 2 sings - and get the trend video back with both of you in it, shot for shot. The step-by-step guide is in how to do the RainDance AI trend.
