How to Make an AI Dance Video
Step-by-step: how to make an AI dance video from one photo. Upload is free. The finished 6-second 9:16 MP4 is $4.90, one-time.

You do not film a take. You do not learn a routine. You take one still photo, pick a dance, and a model moves the person in that photo. The file you download is a 6-second 9:16 MP4 at 720p, with AI-generated sound and no watermark. Uploading is free. You see your photo next to the dance you picked. The finished clip is paid: $4.90 for one video, $9.90 for three, $19.90 for ten. There is no subscription. Packs never expire.
This is the same job people mean when they search how to make an AI dance video, how to make an AI dancing video, how to make a picture dance, or how to do the AI dance trend. The steps below are the ones on Dance AI Generator. They work in a phone browser. There is nothing to install from an app store.
Step 1: Choose a photo
The model follows one body in one still. Start with a photo that already shows the person you want in the clip.
Use one adult, facing the camera. Keep the head, shoulders, and torso in the frame. A full-body or three-quarter shot with even light on the face works. A plain wall, a quiet street, or a backyard is enough. Tick the consent box only if the photo is you, your pet, or an adult who agreed to this.
Skip group shots, a person holding a pet, children, celebrities, and public figures. Those uploads are blocked. A crop that cuts at the chin, a person standing far away in a parking lot, or a heavy filter that hides the eyes will usually fail the check.

That still is the whole input. You will not add a second clip or a reference dance video.
Step 2: Pick a dance
Open the AI dance generator and tap a card. Hip-hop Groove, Shoulder Shimmy, Disco Point, Victory Dance, Chill Sway, and Arm Wave are the year-round set. Twerk is on the same list when the flag is on. Seasonal dances such as Elf Dance sit on their own page when they are in season.
Each card shows a sample. Play it before you pay. The sample is a guide for energy and the kind of steps, not a frame-by-frame copy of the file you will get. Exact counts, kick height, and timing vary from video to video.
Pet photos work on the dances with a paw mark. People-only dances stay off that list. If you came here to make a photo dance, this is the same picker: one still in, one dance out.

Step 3: Upload and pass the check
Tick the consent box, then upload. The on-device check looks at the still. The server check confirms there is one allowed subject. When both pass, you see your cropped photo next to the dance, with a PREVIEW mark on the stills. That pair is not the video. It is the confirmation that the photo and the dance will go into generation together.
If the photo fails, the page tells you why. Use a different still. You have not paid yet. Sign-in is not required for this step.

Tap Generate my dance video only when you want the MP4. That is the paid step.
Step 4: Pay for the finished file
One video is $4.90. Three videos are $9.90 ($3.30 each). Ten videos are $19.90 ($1.99 each). Payment is one-time. There is no subscription. Packs never expire, so a 10-pack bought for a party still works later.
When you have no videos left, a pack picker opens on this site. Choose 1 video, 3 videos, or 10 videos. Those prices are in US dollars: $4.90, $9.90, and $19.90. After you pick a pack, Stripe opens a secure checkout page. Pay there, then you come back. The charge is in US dollars; Stripe may also show a local-currency equivalent depending on where you are. Do not enter a card unless you mean to buy.

A free AI dance video generator in this product means the upload and the still. It does not mean a finished MP4 for $0. There is no watermarked free file in the background. If you did not pay, there is nothing to download.
Step 5: Download and share
Generation usually finishes within 5 minutes. You can close the phone. We email you when the file is ready. The Ready page plays the clip and has a Download MP4 button. Finished videos stay in your account for 30 days. Photos are deleted within 7 days.
The clip is 6 seconds, 720p, 9:16, MP4, with AI-generated sound and no watermark. Most people swap in the trending sound in TikTok, Reels, or Shorts when they post, because that is what comments and the For You feed expect. Keep the AI track if you like it.
The still below is a finished Hip-hop Groove sample from this site: the same 9:16 frame you download after you pay.

If generation fails, that video is returned to your account. If a finished file is clearly broken — the person is missing, the body falls apart, or the face is unusable — email us within 7 days with the video link. The refund page explains when we re-run it. A dance that looks a little different from the sample is expected, not a defect.
Photos that work, and photos that get rejected
The check is looking for one clear subject. These three stills would pass: one person, facing the camera, head and torso in frame, even light.



These three would be rejected. They are AI-generated examples, not photos of real customers.
More than one person. The model follows a single body. A picnic group is three subjects.

The person is too small. A figure in the middle of an empty lot does not give the model a readable body.

The crop is too tight. A face-and-shoulders still leaves no torso for the dance to use. The clip would have nowhere to put the steps.

Other rejects, in words: a child; a celebrity or public figure; a person holding a pet; a selfie with a second face in the mirror; a screenshot of someone else's post; a photo so dark the face is a silhouette.
Make a pet version
The same five steps work for a dog or a cat. Use a dance with a paw mark. Upload one pet, whole animal in the frame. A person in the shot with the animal is rejected. Price, length, and file format are the same as a person clip.
Open AI dog dancing if the photo is a dog. Open AI cat dance if the photo is a cat. Hip-hop Groove, Disco Point, Victory Dance, Chill Sway, and Twerk (when it is on) take animals. Shoulder Shimmy and Arm Wave are people-only.
FAQ
How do I make an AI dancing video?
Pick a dance, upload one photo of one adult or one pet, wait for the still to pass, and pay for the MP4. You do not film yourself. You do not download an app. The finished file is 6 seconds, 720p, 9:16, with AI sound. Upload is free. Generation is $4.90 for one video, or a pack if you want more.
How do I make a picture dance?
That is the same job as making an AI dance video. The picture is the input. The dance is the motion. Open make a photo dance, pick a style, and upload the still. When the check passes, you see your photo next to the dance. Pay only when you generate.
How do I do the AI dance trend?
The trend is a still of a person (or a pet) that starts moving to a dance. You do not learn the steps. You pick the dance on this site, generate the 6-second clip, then post it and swap in the sound that is circulating that week. The motion follows the sample for that dance. It will not match a specific creator's choreography count for count.
Do I need an AI dancing app on my phone?
No. This is a website. Open it in Safari or Chrome on the phone. You can add the page to your home screen if you want an icon. That shortcut is not an App Store listing. There is no native iPhone or Android app from this site.
One video is $4.90. Three are $9.90. Ten are $19.90. One-time payment. No subscription. Packs never expire. Generation usually finishes within 5 minutes.
