About
Dancing Alligator refers to a greenscreen video of an animated alligator dancing. It became a viral exploitable template in 2024, trending en masse on TikTok via a CapCut template and the song "Take Me In Your Arms" by Lil Suzy. The videos often had text captions reading, "You're not a dancing alligator," contrasting the template that transformed the person into the Dancing Alligator. The original video of the Dancing Alligator was a "Happy Birthday" video that showed the animal with a background of baked beans. The original greenscreen video was created by YouTuber KAGI GREEN SCREEN.
