# Shiba Inu Dancing Shiba Inu Dancing started as a 12-second TikTok of a dog named Winnie nodding her head to Epic Sax Guy on New Year's Eve 2023. Within six weeks, a CapCut green-screen version of the clip logged over 340,000 uses, and Spanish-speaking TikTok accounts led the earliest remixes into Instagram Reels by late January 2024. ## Origin On December 31, 2023, TikTok user @always_winnie, a dog-focused account for a Shiba Inu named Winnie, posted a 12-second clip of the dog appearing to bob her head to 'Run Away' by SunStroke Project and Olia Tira, alternating between sides of the frame[1]. The clip reached over 4.6 million views within a month[1]. Winnie's apparent timing with the backing music was the hook, since the dog looked like she was deliberately nodding to the beat. - **Platform:** TikTok (origin) / Instagram Reels (viral spread) - **Creator:** @always_winnie (Winnie's owner) - **Date:** 2023 ## Overview A typical Shiba Inu Dancing post, sometimes called Shiba Inu Head Bobbing or Dog Nodding Head, uses a green-screen clip of Winnie overlaid on any image or video, with music running behind her apparent head bobs[1]. Creators caption the shot with something they are hyped about, waiting on, or getting away with, letting Winnie's nod sell the mood[5]. Early uses stuck to the Epic Sax Guy song 'Run Away' by SunStroke Project and Olia Tira, though the format opens up to any track the creator picks[7]. In tone, Shiba Inu Dancing sits in the same lane as CatJam and other animal-reaction edits where a pet appears to nod along to music[7]. Winnie's deadpan rhythm sells the bit, with the bobbing matched to whatever the poster cares about that week, from slacking off at work to reacting to a new song release[6]. ## How to Use Users typically place the green-screen template over an image or clip, then add a caption about something the poster is excited for, waiting on, or sneaking around[2]. Backing tracks often default to the Epic Sax Guy song from the original Winnie clip, though other audio became common as more remixes appeared[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Shiba Inu Dancing?
