About
Let's Groove is an animation meme and dance trend based on a scene from the 2005 film Kronk's New Groove, in which Kronk and Mrs. Birdwell dance to the Earth, Wind & Fire Song "Let's Groove".
The trend involves reanimations of the scene and dance videos where people recreate the scene. It started sometime in the mid 2020s and had a resurgence in August of 2026 on sites including TikTok and Instagram Reels.
Origin
The scene comes from The Emperor's New Groove sequel film Kronk's New Groove,[1] which was released directly to DVD on December 13th, 2005.
In the film, Kronk develops a love interest in Ms. Birdwell. The two work together to make bread dough and mix raisins into it to make raisin bread. The two start dancing together while waiting for the raisin bread to bake in an oven. While this occurs, the Earth, Wind & Fire song "Let's Groove" plays in the background.
The earliest known animation based on the specific dance was posted to X[2] by Yuramec on April 2nd, 2024. The animation shows Spooky Month characters Father Gregor and Moloch dancing to the song. The video received 680,000 views and over 28,000 likes in two years on X, and was reposted to YouTube[3] on April 15th, 2024, where it received over 504,000 views in two years.
Another very real scene deleted on the last episode of #spookymonth . Ït´s true!
