Describe the effect
List the moves in order (shoulder bounce, spin, final pose) and keep the full body in frame. A static camera makes the dance easy to follow. Start from the example prompt below and change the details.

Generate and download
A 5-second clip on Seedance 2.5 costs 24 credits at 720p and 50 at 1080p. Leave audio off if you will add music when you post. The price is shown before you generate, and failed generations give the credits back.
Example prompt
Copy it, or open the studio with it filled in, then change the subject and setting.
AI Photo Dance prompt
Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. An AI-generated young woman in a yellow hoodie and white sneakers stands centred on a city rooftop at sunset. She breaks into an upbeat hip-hop dance: shoulder bounce, a spin and a sharp final pose facing the camera. Full body in frame, warm sunset light, smooth natural motion, static camera, upbeat.

Tips for a better result
- Use a full-body photo with the feet visible.
- Two or three moves per 5 seconds look smoother than a long routine.
- Add the trending song inside TikTok or Instagram when you post.
- To copy an exact move from a clip, use Kitsune motion transfer with a stylised character. Kitsune needs a plan: Creator and up.
