What Is the Rat Dance?

The Rat Dance is a funny, exaggerated dance move inspired by—you guessed it—the scurrying, twitchy movements of a rat. The dance usually involves:

  • Quick, jerky head movements (like a rat sniffing around)

  • Tiny, rapid steps (imitating a rodent running)

  • Arm twitches and claw-like hand gestures (for extra rat vibes)

It’s usually performed to fast-paced, bass-heavy beats, often remixed with sound effects like squeaks or cartoonish "rat running" noises.

How the Rat Dance Took Over TikTok in 2025

The trend started in late 2024 when a Brazilian creator posted a silly dance mimicking a rat escaping a trap. The clip went viral, and soon, TikTokers worldwide added their own twists.

By early 2025, Filipino creators turned it into a full-blown challenge, using:
🔥 Local remixes (like mixing it with "Cardboard Box" or "Ginseng Strip 2025")
🔥 P-pop idol versions (SB19 and BINI members even joined in!)
🔥 Meme versions (people dressed as rats, doing the dance in public places)

The hashtag #RatDancePH now has millions of views, with Pinoy TikTokers making it even funnier by adding dubsmash voiceovers, cosplay, and group choreography.

How to Do the Rat Dance (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

  1. The Rat Sniff 👃

    • Tilt your head side to side quickly, like a rat sniffing cheese.

  2. The Rat Scamper 🏃‍♂️

    • Take tiny, fast steps while hunching slightly.

  3. The Rat Claw 🐾

    • Bend your arms and make claw hands, twitching them as you move.

  4. The Rat Spin 🌀

    • Do a quick spin (optional but adds flair).

  5. The Rat Freeze ❄️

    • End with a sudden stop, like a rat hearing danger.

Pro Tip: Add a squeaky voiceover or funny filter (like rat ears and whiskers) for extra laughs!

Why the Rat Dance Is More Than Just a Meme

Beyond the humor, the Rat Dance shows how Filipino TikTokers take global trends and make them uniquely Pinoy. It’s also a great example of:

Will the Rat Dance Last?
