About
Shiba Inu Dancing, also known as Shiba Inu Head Bobbing and Dog Nodding Head, refers to a CapCut template and exploitable meme popularized on TikTok and Instagram in January 2024 in which a Shiba Inu dog nods its head rhythmically to backing music (often the Epic Sax Guy song "Run Away" by SunStroke Project and Olia Tira), similar to the CatJam format. In the early weeks of the meme's growing popularity, it was particularly popular among Spanish-speaking users.
Origin
On December 31st, 2023, TikTok user @always_winnie, a dog-focused account for a Shiba Inu named Winnie, posted a video[1] in which Winnie appears to bob its head to the Epic Sax Guy music, alternating between sides of the screen through the 12-second clip. It gained over 4.6 million views in one month (shown below).
