What is the SaWaDiKa dance trend?
SaWaDiKa is LISA's spelling of sawatdee ka, the everyday Thai hello, and a song from her EP PRESS PLAY. The official music video came out on 4 September 2026 and passed 200 million YouTube views in about 34 days. Dancers turned the chorus into a TikTok challenge, AI remakes followed, starting with a ginger cat in glowing cat-ear headphones, and by October people were putting themselves, their friends and their pets into the routine.
The routine lasts 15 seconds and ends with the wai, the palms-together Thai greeting, in the last 2.5 seconds. Clips cut at 5 or 10 seconds lose it, so every video here runs the full 15.

How it works
This is not a face swap. The moves, camera and timing come from a fixed 15-second reference; the person or pet comes from your photo, so face, hair, fur and clothes are drawn fresh in every frame.
- Solo Dance and My pet use reference-to-video generation (ByteDance Seedance 2.0 Mini): one continuous shot following the routine second by second.
- Music video uses video editing (Kuaishou Kling 3.0 Omni): you take the lead role in every shot of a fixed seven-shot music video, with a masked backup crew, street and studio sets, and your mouth timed to the music so it reads as a lip-sync.
Three details that decide whether a take looks right:
- The full routine. Every template uses the whole 15 seconds, so the wai at the end is always there.
- Your clothes, not the dancer's. The outfit comes from your photo. A head-to-feet photo carries the whole outfit; a selfie only gives the top half.
- Pets stay themselves. Species, breed, fur colours, markings, ears and muzzle come from the photo; the upright pose, the bedroom set and the headphones come from the routine.
Intended use
- Short-form posts for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
- Yourself, a friend who agreed, or your cat or dog doing the trend

Input guidelines
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|

| Head to feet in frame, arms away from the body | Tight face-only crops if you want your outfit |

Limitations
- A close likeness, not a copy. The face is drawn fresh in every frame; a sharp, front-facing, full-length photo gets closest.
- Every run is a new take. Small details such as finger positions vary between takes.
- No original song. Every video carries an original AI beat, not LISA's recording.
- Filters. The video provider's filter blocks some photos; a blocked job returns its credits.
