How to make an AI dance video from a photo

To make an AI dance video from a photo, pick a TikTok dance trend on our AI dance video generator, upload one photo per dancer, and download the finished clip. It takes three steps and about 5–10 minutes, and you do not need to dance or film anything.

1. Pick the dance

   Open the AI dance video generator and choose one of 6 dances. For one person: Hop Hop Hop, Gangnam Style, Dime Dime Baby and Babydoll Two-Step. For a group of up to 3: Gangnam Style and Babydoll Two-Step. With a pet: Hop Hop Hop, Gangnam Style and Dime Dime Baby.

2. Upload one photo per dancer

   Use a sharp, recent photo with the face in good light and the outfit visible; the dancer keeps those clothes. One adult per photo, and everyone has to have agreed. A pet photo goes where a person would.

3. Make it and download

   Press Make, then pay $8.90 once or use plan credits. It takes about 5–10 minutes; you can close the tab, it waits in Your videos and we email you. Download the MP4 at 1080p or 768p with no watermark and post it.

How the AI dance video is made

You upload still photos, not a video. Each dance template starts from the real trend clip: its set, its cuts, its camera and its sound. Our video model films that clip again with the people or pets from your photos, in their own clothes, and lays the trend sound back under it. That is why a video made here follows the original moves beat for beat instead of a generic sway.

Empty spots on the group dances are filled with AI-invented dancers, so you can make a group dance with only your own photo. On the two-person dances both photos are needed.

Photo tips for each dance

• Hop Hop Hop AI Video Generator: Use one sharp photo per person, with only that person in it, face visible and evenly lit. A photo to the knees or full body helps the hops look right. Full tutorial: how to make the Hop Hop Hop AI video.
• Gangnam Style AI Video Generator: Use one sharp photo per person, with only that person in it. The video has big close-ups, so a clear face matters more than the whole body. Full tutorial: how to make the Gangnam Style AI video.
• Dime Dime Baby AI Video Generator: Use one sharp photo with only one person or one pet in it. A full-body photo is best, because the dancer is seen head to toe for most of the video. Full tutorial: how to make the Dime Dime Baby AI video.
• Babydoll Dance AI Video Generator: Use one sharp, front-facing photo per person, each with only that one person in it. Full tutorial: how to make the Babydoll Dance AI video.
• Rumpelstiltskin AI Video Generator: Photo 1 plays the dancer and gets a close-up with a "shh" to the camera: use a clear, smiling face. Full tutorial: how to make the Rumpelstiltskin AI video.
• Alors On Danse AI Video Generator: Photo 1 is at the keyboard and is often seen from the side, so long or distinctive hair helps. Full tutorial: how to make the Alors On Danse AI video.

Common reasons a dance video comes out wrong

• A blurry or tiny face. The model can only keep what it can see. Crop closer or use a newer photo.
• Two people in one photo. Each photo should show one dancer; split a couple photo into two.
• Heavy filters or sunglasses. They change the face the model learns from.
• The video failed. Your credits come back automatically and you can try again with another photo.

Before you post

Only use photos of people who said yes, never a celebrity or someone else's child. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube ask you to label AI-generated videos; turn that label on. If you want to try another dance, the AI dance video generator lists all of them, and new ones show up on meme trends this week.
