How an AI dance video from one photo works
To make an AI dance video from one photo, upload a clear photo of your face to a dance trend, and the video has you do that trend’s exact routine in its setting, with the song already in it. You don’t need to know the moves, film anything or find a location.
Each trend is a fixed routine: Toc Toc’s hallway hop, Cheba Man’s stage arms, the Thriller lunge. That’s the difference from a general AI video app, where you describe the dance in words and hope. On NowStarring the shots and timing come from the trend, and your photo decides who does them. All of them are in dance trends.
Every dance trend, with its song
| Trend | The moves | In your video | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Toc Toc](/toc-toc-ai) | March to the lens, knock, shrug, hop, ta-da | The Toc Toc song | 11 s, 9:16 |
| [Cheba Man](/cheba-man-ai) | Sharp arm routine on a red stage, straight face | The Cheba Man song | 15 s, 9:16 |
| [Bad Times](/bad-times-ai) | Face-palm, eye-roll, stop hand, slap the lens | The Bad Times song | 15 s, 9:16 |
| [I Feel Like Nicole](/i-feel-like-nicole-ai) | Swing a cooler door open, lip-sync, strut off | ADÉLA’s Nicole Kidman | 14 s, 9:16 |
| [Turn the Lights Off](/turn-the-lights-off-ai) | Eyes closed, hands to heart, arms up on the drop | Kato’s Turn the Lights Off | 10 s, 9:16 |
| [Thriller](/thriller-dance-ai) | Head throw, lunge, claw hands, zombies behind | The Thriller song | 10 s, 9:16 |
| [Ramalama](/ramalama-ai) | Strut, the whip-up on the whisper, pose and shimmy | Ramalama (Bang Bang) | 10 s, 9:16 |
| [Rumpelstiltskin](/rumpelstiltskin-ai) | Tiptoe, shush, grin, dance in a night barn | The Rumpelstiltskin trend sound | 15 s, 16:9 |
| [Storm Dance](/storm-dance-ai) | You stay still while a crowd bows around you | STORM II | 27 s, 16:9 |
| [Alors On Danse](/alors-on-danse-ai) | One on the keys, one lunging to sing, both dance | The Alors On Danse song | 30 s, 16:9 |
Every song is laid into the video, so it plays with sound as soon as you download it. When you post, pick the same sound in the app too, so your video shows up on the trend’s sound page.
Quick solo dances for a phone screen
The short vertical ones are the easiest first video. Each is a single phone-style shot built for TikTok and Reels.
- Toc Toc is filmed from a phone on a hallway floor. Silly, deadpan, and the ta-da lands every time. See how to do the Toc Toc AI trend.
- Cheba Man is filmed from inside a party crowd. The straight face is the joke.
- I Feel Like Nicole hides the camera inside a store’s drinks cooler. It turns a snack run into a main-character moment, and it’s funniest on the friend who never dances. How to do it.
- Bad Times is more attitude than dance: a lip-sync telling off whoever is filming.
Big scenes: Storm, Rumpelstiltskin and Thriller
Some dance trends are less a routine and more a scene, with a crowd or a set you could never film at home.
- Storm Dance: you’re the one figure who never moves while hundreds in black suits bow and throw their heads back to the sky on the beat. It’s widescreen and the longest solo dance, so it takes about 6 minutes to make.
- Rumpelstiltskin: you tiptoe into a hay barn at night in a velvet tailcoat, shush the camera, flash a slightly unhinged grin and dance on tiptoe. Widescreen, about 5 minutes to make. What the trend is.
- Thriller: you lead a street of zombies through the moves everyone knows. Short and vertical.
Read what the Storm Dance AI trend is before you start: the joke only lands if you know you’re meant to stand still.
Dancing with a friend: Alors On Danse
Alors On Danse is the dance for two. In a bright white studio one of you plays a tiny keyboard next to a laptop while the other cheers, points, pats their chest and lunges right up to the lens to sing. Then both of you dance. It needs a photo of each of you, runs 30 seconds in widescreen and takes about 7 minutes to make.
Use photos of two adults who both agreed to be in it. See how to do the Alors On Danse AI trend for which photo goes where.
Dances your cat or dog can do
Toc Toc, Cheba Man, Bad Times and Turn the Lights Off take a pet as the dancer. It does the routine on its hind legs with its own paws, and that’s the version people send to everyone they know. The pet trend guide covers the pet photo and the other trends that take one. For a dancing pet, pick a photo that shows the whole body standing or sitting up, so its size and coat come out right when it rises onto its back legs.
The photo that dances best
- Your face toward the camera, eyes open, nothing covering it: no sunglasses, mask or hand.
- Even light. Daylight from a window is ideal; a dark club photo isn’t.
- Just you. In a group shot the video has to guess which face is yours.
- Thriller keeps the clothes from your photo, so wear what you’d like to dance in.
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB. Use a photo of yourself or an adult who said yes, never a celebrity or anyone under 18.
Free routes and what one costs
You can make an AI dance video free in two ways. Film it yourself, which costs nothing but time and a friend willing to hold the phone. Or paste a written prompt into another app’s free tier, which usually means a watermark, a short silent clip and a few tries before the moves look right. Each trend has a free guide, such as Toc Toc for free and Storm Dance for free.
One Standard video uses between 45 and 180 credits, depending on the trend. The cheapest trends work out to $6.45 a video with the smallest pack ($12.90 for 90 credits), the longest two-person dance to $34.90, and plans start at $19.90 a month for 270 credits. Packs are one-time buys whose credits never expire, and a video that fails gives its credits back.
Your video comes as an MP4 with no watermark and the song in it, in Standard 480p or HD 720p. We email you when it’s ready, and every video waits in My videos. See every pack on pricing.
