All postsThe moves, second by second
There is no official step chart. These are the moves in the Bulin 47 freestyle, timed from Kevin Wai's 46-second TikTok: the famous part starts at about 9 seconds, when the camera finds Bulin 47. The name comes from the chant: "dame hombro" is literally "give me shoulder" (what it means).
| In the clip | What Bulin 47 does | How to copy it |
|---|---|---|
| 9 to 10 s | Faces left and talks, fist at his chest | Start side-on and relaxed |
| 10 to 11 s | Turns to the camera as it moves in, starts rapping | Turn on the first beat |
| 11 to 15 s | Raps to the camera, open hands bouncing in front of his chest, glancing at the phone | Hands loose at chest height; the bounce comes from the shoulders |
| 15 to 16 s | Lifts one hand to shoulder height, palm out, and stops | Freeze for one beat |
| 16 to 18.5 s | Looks down at the phone, tilts his head and laughs | Lean toward whoever is filming |
| 18.5 to 20 s | Hand on top of his head, head back, big laugh | Hold the laugh, do not rush it |
| 20 to 24 s | Leans in and points at the phone a few times, still laughing | Point at the camera and end on the laugh |
How to film your take
- 1
Find "Dame Hombro" by Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai in the TikTok or Instagram sound library, so the song is cleared for your post.
- 2
Film vertically at chest height from about an arm's length, the way Kevin Wai held his phone. A friend with a speaker in the foreground makes it read instantly.
- 3
Use warm or red light if you can: the original was filmed at night outside a red-lit restaurant entrance in Madrid.
- 4
Keep it to about 15 seconds; the moves above fit in that.
- 5
Caption it with #DameHombroChallenge, and tag the artists if you want them to see it.

Can an AI video enter?
The announcement asks for the dance, so a video of you dancing is the safe entry. An AI recast puts your face into Kevin Wai's clip, which is a different thing and may not count, so check the rules first.
For fun outside the contest, the Bulin 47 AI trend works from one photo: you take the performer's place for 15 seconds with the original sound. It is a good way to see the moves on yourself before you film them.
Where the challenge came from
It started with the Bulin 47 freestyle on 2 October 2026, when Kevin Wai played a dembow beat outside a restaurant in Madrid. "Dame Hombro" came out on 7 October, credited to Bulin 47, Kevin Wai and producer Breyco En Producidera; YouTube's music listing names Hancel Teodoro Vargas Reynoso and Kevin Menco Arregoces as its writers.
By 9 October Listín Diario was reporting the dance and gestures being copied everywhere, and the Dominican comedy duo Boca Llena and Tirson posted their own version that day, according to Bávaro News.
