The sound is a Brazilian funk track in the "automotivo" style, a heavy, pounding style of funk made to be played loud from car speakers. Its hook is a chopped vocal, "ma, ma, ma", repeated fast, and the dance follows it move for move: every "ma" is a new angle of the arms. Our template opens on a playful close-up, then pulls back to the full body. The legs go wide in a slight squat, the elbows bend, and the hands and forearms snap across the chest and face in quick, angular shapes, with the arms pushing straight down on the heaviest beats. It looks a bit like a robot that learned funk. It suits kids best, because the moves are sharp and simple and kids already love this kind of beat. It works on adults too, for anyone who wants a short, punchy dance with no turns. It has been in the AI Dance app since January 2026, when it was one of the first dances for kids. ### The moves A playful close-up first, then a full-body shot: legs wide in a slight squat, elbows bent, hands and forearms snapping across the chest and face in quick angles, and the arms pushing straight down on the heaviest beats. Bouncy, sharp and fast. ## How to make the Ma Ma Ma video 1. **Add your photo.** Upload one clear photo of a child, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can. 2. **Tap Make my video.** The Ma Ma Ma 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 Ma Ma Ma - Use a full-body photo of one child standing on their own, facing the camera. - The arms make every move, so keep them clear and a little away from the body. - A plain wall behind the child keeps the fast arm angles sharp. - Shoes on and feet apart look closest to the wide stance of the dance. - One child per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame. 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. Search "ma ma ma" or the track name in TikTok or Reels and start on the chopped hook. - Trim the start so the first arm snap lands on the first beat. - Kids' dance accounts: post it next to a real attempt of the same dance for a fun before and after. Caption idea: Ma, ma, ma.
