"Chubina" is an instrumental track by East Duo, a group of Georgian songwriters who mix the folk music of Georgia with simple, cinematic arrangements. According to an interview in Magnetic Magazine (February 12, 2026), the duo recorded it in 2021 on an iPhone 6, at home, with no studio. They put it online in early 2024 with no label and no campaign, and it spread on its own: it entered Shazam's Global Top 200, reached the iTunes Top 20 in the US, the UK and Germany, and passed 130 million streams on Spotify. There are no words in it, which is a big part of why it travels. People from any country can feel it, and it became a favorite sound for slow, emotional or graceful videos. In US Google searches, "chubina" alone gets several hundred searches a month, mostly from people trying to find the song they heard. Our Chubina template turns that feeling into a gentle twirl. The dancer turns in a slow circle with both arms held out, lifts one arm now and then, and takes light steps on the beat, like a small folk dance. There are no jumps and no sharp hits, so the result stays soft and sweet. It is one of the original baby dances on AI Dance, and it works on dogs too: our page has a dog example. ### The moves A slow turn in a circle with both arms held out to the sides. Now and then one arm lifts up or crosses the body, and the feet take small, light steps on the beat. A skirt or a loose onesie swings out with the turn. Smooth and happy, with no jumps. ## How to make the Chubina video 1. **Add your photo.** Upload one clear photo of a baby or a dog, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can. 2. **Tap Make my video.** The Chubina dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes. 3. **Download and post.** You get a 10 second 9:16 MP4. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts and add the sound inside the app. ## Best photo for Chubina - Use a photo where your baby stands on their own, with the whole body in view. The turn needs the legs and feet. - A dress, a skirt or a loose onesie looks lovely in the twirl, because the fabric swings out. - Pick a photo with the arms a little away from the body, so the AI can lift them cleanly. - Avoid photos where an adult holds the baby. The AI animates the biggest person in the photo. - For a dog, use a photo of the dog standing or sitting up, facing the camera, with a plain background. - Soft light suits this dance. Harsh flash makes the slow turn look less gentle. Avoid: - Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge - Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow - Blurry or very dark photos - Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo ## Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts - Your video comes without music. Add the "Chubina" sound by East Duo in TikTok or Reels. Its slow start fits the first turn. - This is a calm video, so a soft caption works better than a joke: a name, an age, a heart. - Post it as a loop. A slow twirl looks good on repeat in Stories and Reels. - Make a pair: your baby and your dog doing the same twirl, side by side. Caption idea: Little dancer.
