What the Bad Times dance really is
The Bad Times dance is a routine with no steps to count: French creator Bouuh Yachaka, in her kitchen, picks an over-the-top fight with the person filming while lip-syncing "Bad Times" by Imael Angel. Her video of 9 September 2026, captioned "Ça va barder!!", passed 18 million views, and everyone joining the trend copies her gestures. Bad Times AI hands them to the subject of your photo: the AI edits a performance clip so your pet, your baby or you take the performer's place, move for move, with the song playing.
Gestures, not footwork
Every move is a reaction: grabbing the head, palms up in disbelief, a finger jabbed at the lens. The joke is how furious it looks, which is why it carries over to a dog or a toddler so well.
The song underneath
Imael Angel released the track on 30 March 2026, and the trend runs on a one-minute cut of it. Many listeners wonder whether the artist uses AI; what has been reported so far is on the is Imael Angel AI page.
Why do the Bad Times dance with AI
From late September 2026 the format turned into AI edits, with a husky, a German shepherd, tabby cats, babies and friends taking her place; the Bad Times trend page tells that story from the start. AI lets performers who could never film it themselves join in.
Pets that keep their paws
The usual flaw in AI pet versions is human fingers appearing when the animal shows its open palms. Because a dog performs the Pet clip, paws stayed paws in our tests; still, check every render before you post it. Cat owners get photo advice in the Bad Times cat guide.
Your baby, finger jabs included
The Baby template gives a baby or toddler the whole argument. Use only photos of your own child; the Bad Times baby page goes deeper into baby photos.
You, without rehearsing
The Original template puts a person into the original kitchen clip. No timing to learn and no retakes to film: one photo of yourself is the entire input.
Bad Times dance moves, second by second
Timings follow the 30-second cut, the length most viral AI versions use. The 5-second video covers the opening head grab and the first "hold on"; the 15-second one runs through the turn and the first lunge.
How to make a Bad Times dance AI video

3. Generate and download
A 5-second clip takes about 2 to 4 minutes and longer ones take more. The download is a vertical 9:16 MP4 with the song on it, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Bad Times dance FAQ
What is the Bad Times dance?
It is the argument routine from the TikTok trend, not a set of dance steps. Bouuh Yachaka stages a mock fight with the person filming her while lip-syncing Imael Angel's song: head in hands, palms up, a "hold on", a lunge at the lens. Many versions since late September 2026 are AI edits starring a pet, a baby or a friend.
Where can I find the Bad Times dance remix?
Not on this site. Bad Times AI Video makes videos of the routine, not music; the official Dance Remix (3:08) came out on 24 April 2026. The song is "Bad Times" by Imael Angel, released on 30 March 2026. Videos made here play the cut of the song the trend uses.
Can my dog or cat do the Bad Times dance?
Yes, with the Pet template. Its clip is a dog performing the routine, so it suits dogs, cats and other pets: the moves come from the dog, the fur, markings and face from your photo. In our tests the paws stayed paws during the open-palm moves, where many AI pet versions go wrong.
Do I have to learn the moves or film anything?
No, you only upload a photo. The template clip already contains the room, the camera moves and the timing, and the AI replaces the performer with the subject of your photo. Your own home will therefore not appear; the setting always comes from the template.
How long is a Bad Times dance AI video?
You choose 5, 15 or 30 seconds. Most viral AI versions run about 30 seconds, which here needs the Ultra level and ends on the face close-up at 29 seconds; CapCut template versions are about 15. Five seconds covers the head grab and the first "hold on", and it is the only length Lite makes.
How much does a dance video cost?
For plans, see Bad Times AI Video pricing. Length and quality are set for each video, so decide on those first and then compare. A render that fails or is filtered is never charged: the credits go back to your balance.
Is this an official app?
No. Bad Times AI Video is an independent fan-made tool, not affiliated with Imael Angel, Bouuh Yachaka or TikTok. It is a website, not an app, and it edits a performance clip of the trend around one photo of yourself, your pet or your own child.
Who does your Bad Times dance?
Find your performer's best full-body photo, match it to the right template, and the AI does every move from the head grab to the close-up.
