What is the Thanksgiving Dance, and where did it come from?

Where it began

The post we follow was published on 6 November 2026 and lasts about 23s. It was filmed on a sunny day in front of a building, with the camera fixed on two dancers standing shoulder to shoulder.

Its sound is a remix of "Gobble Gobble" by Ashlee Ruth, which is why our version ships without music. Ozil Goal AI is an independent tool, and neither the poster nor Ashlee Ruth has anything to do with it.

The moves, in order

• Side steps: loose arms, weight shifting from one foot to the other.
• The squat: both drop low and twist the hips left and right.
• Hand flicks: the hands whip up and out near the face in alternation.
• The settle: a last bouncy step and a look at the lens.

What people add

Some creators swap the dancers for a cartoon turkey wearing their own face. Others dress up in a sweater or a feathered hat. Both ideas are offered as presets in our generator.
