What is the Copines trend?

"Copines", French for "girlfriends", is a song by the French and Malian singer Aya Nakamura. It came out on August 24, 2018, from her album Nakamura. It spawned a dance trend on Instagram Reels in early 2021, and it never really left: by April 2026 the song had passed 17.6 million video creations on TikTok and ranked among the 50 most-used songs on the platform worldwide.

In 2026 the dance came back through "then and now" videos, where a new wave of dancers does the routine next to an older version. The chorus, with "bombarder" and "bom bom", is the part everyone dances to. Searches for the dance are strongest in France and Brazil, and the sound travels well everywhere else because the moves need no words.

The Copines routine is short and precise, which makes it a great AI template. The moves are clear, the poses are strong, and a still photo turns into a dancer who hits every accent. It also turns the dancer around twice, so you get the back view and the front view in one clip.

The moves

The dancer starts with her back to the camera, jumps around to face front with fists up by the chest, then spins again with hands behind the head and swaying hips. Back to the front, the hands come down sharp to the chest, one hand touches an ear, and the clip ends side-on with arms crossed.

Best photo for Copines

The photo decides most of the result. These tips are for this dance.

Works well

Use a full-body photo, head to shoes, so the spins and hip sways show.
Simple, fitted clothes look best from the back. Bags, long scarves and jackets tied at the waist can smear during the turns.
Stand facing the camera with your arms down and slightly away from the body.
Use a sharp, bright photo. The routine is fast, so small blur grows.
One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame.

Gives weak results

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 "Copines" sound by Aya Nakamura in TikTok or Reels and start the clip on the chorus.
Try a "then and now" post: an old photo of you next to your AI Copines video.
Mix French and English hashtags. The dance is big in France and Brazil.

Add Copines by Aya Nakamura from the sound library of the app you post to, so your video uses the official track.
