Transfer choreography from a dance clip
Start with a full-body photo and a motion reference you can use. Pick one dancer with visible hands and feet, a steady camera, and few cuts or obstructions.
Open Motion SwapGenerate original dance moves
Start from a prompt or image. Describe one short movement, like a side step or turn, and hold the camera still for the first test.
Open Video GeneratorHow to make an AI dance video
Choose a clear full-body photo
Use a well-lit image with space around the dancer so hands and feet stay visible.
Guide the moves
For a specific routine, use Motion Swap with a reference video you have permission to use. For an original move, describe one short sequence and a steady camera in Video Generator.
Trim and add music
Check hands, foot contact, and framing, then trim the clip and align the main steps with original or licensed music.
Before you export
- Hands and feet stay in frame
- Foot placement looks natural
- Key moves land on the intended beats
- Photo, dance clip, and track are cleared for use
Create a dance challenge, performance, or character clip
Vertical dance challenge
Leave space around the dancer in a 9:16 frame and keep the main move clear of captions.
Original choreography concept
Compare a simple side step, a turn, or an arm sequence from the same fixed camera angle.
Animated character dance
Use a character with a clear silhouette and check how the limbs move through the shot.
Prompts to try
Two steps and a shoulder roll · hip-hop
Animate the person from this full-body reference. Hold a wide, steady front view. Have them step right, step left, then roll their shoulders once. Keep both feet visible and return to the opening stance.
Point and turn · disco
Keep the outfit, face, and full-body framing. Do two side steps, point one arm up, and make a slow quarter turn. Use warm lighting and a fixed camera.
Reach and pivot · contemporary
Frame a single dancer head to toe. Take a step forward, reach both arms up, then pivot toward the camera. Keep the background and outfit steady.

Creating the dance clip
What is an AI dance video generator?
It animates a person or character performing dance moves. A prompt can guide original moves, while a reference clip can guide specific choreography.
Can I make a dance video from one photo?
Yes. A well-lit, full-body photo with visible hands and feet works best for testing a full-body move.
Do I need a dance video, or can I use a prompt or template?
Use a reference clip for a specific sequence. For original moves, start with a prompt or image and check the editor’s supported inputs.
Which AI model should I use for a dance video?
Try Kling 2.6 Motion Control in Character Swap for reference choreography, or Seedance 2.0 in Video Generator for a prompt-led test.
Which dance styles can I try, and how do I repeat a move?
Try a hip-hop groove, a disco step, or a contemporary turn. Keep the camera steady and reuse the same motion reference to guide repeated moves.
Can I make an animated character, pet, or group dance?
Start with one clearly framed character and inspect the generated body motion. Test multiple dancers individually before attempting a group sequence.
Is AI dance animation the same as face swap?
Dance animation changes movement. Face swap replaces a face in existing footage. Use source likenesses and footage you have permission to use.
Can I add my own song or sync the dance to a beat?
Add original or licensed music in the editor. Match the visible turns and steps to the track and adjust the cut where needed.
