How to Make an AI Dance Video on Lanta AI
Upload your photo
Choose a clear photo of yourself, a friend, or a character. For a full-body dance, use a picture that shows the arms, legs, and feet.
Choose the moves
Click a dance template or upload your own reference video. That clip sets the choreography, from a simple groove to your favorite dance challenge.
Generate and share
Generate your AI dance video using the length of your reference. Download your favorite take, then add music or a caption in your video editor.
Explore Popular AI Dance Styles
A gentle sway, sharp choreography, or a pet with unexpected moves. Find a dance idea that fits the character and the clip you want to make.
AI Cat Dance
A tiny paw wave, a shoulder bounce, or an exaggerated pose gives a cat dance its charm. Build the idea around one funny move and let the cat’s expression carry the joke.
Think reaction memes, pet birthday messages, or a playful clip for your group chat.
AI Dog Dance
Bouncy steps, a head bob, and paws in the air give dancing-dog videos the energy of a happy greeting. Keep the routine short and playful, with the dog’s personality at the center of the clip.
A fun direction for celebration clips, pet introductions, and “when the weekend arrives” memes.
AI Sway Dance
Side-to-side movement, loose shoulders, and an easy hip sway give this dance its relaxed feel. Pair your photo with a swaying reference clip for a casual dance moment that puts the character’s attitude on show.
Start with a steady, front-facing reference. A simple repeating movement keeps the focus on the sway.
K-Pop Dance
Bring a favorite chorus move into your next character edit. Distinct hand gestures, sharp poses, and quick changes in direction make K-pop choreography recognizable even in a short dance clip.
Choose a reference focused on one dancer, with the signature move near the start of the video.
Hip-Hop Dance
Give your photo a laid-back groove or a punchier routine. Hip-hop-inspired clips bring together body bounces, arm movements, and steps that let the performer’s attitude come through.
Use a short reference with a steady camera so the rhythm comes from the dancer’s movement.
Shuffle Dance & Footwork
Quick heel-toe changes and gliding steps make shuffle dancing all about the feet. Pair a full-body photo with a clear footwork reference to make those steps the focus of your dance video.
Keep both feet visible in the photo and throughout the reference, with room around the dancer to move.
See the Photo, the Reference and the Dance Result
One photo supplies the character. One video supplies the moves. Watch them come together in these AI dance examples.
Your character, a whole new routine
The blue-haired character takes on the reference dancer’s steps and hand gestures. A still character image becomes a full-body performance.
Small gestures, plenty of personality
The character in the orange skirt follows the dancer’s arm and upper-body movements. A closer shot puts the focus on the gestures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to get started with Lanta AI’s dance generator.
An AI dance generator turns a still photo into a video of the person dancing. Lanta AI combines your photo with a dance template or a video you upload. The photo supplies the character’s appearance; the reference supplies the steps, gestures, and timing.
Upload your photo and dance video, then click Generate dance. The length is set automatically from your reference video. To use just one part of a longer routine, trim the reference before uploading. Use one continuous shot with one dancer clearly visible.
Yes. Upload one photo and choose a dance template from this page. The template provides the movement, so you do not need to record yourself dancing or upload another video.
Yes. You can start with 40 free credits, and daily check-in offers more. Video duration is rounded to the nearest half-second. Each full second costs 5 credits, plus 3 credits for a remaining half-second. A 5-second dance costs 25 credits. The displayed cost is an estimate; the final charge uses the measured video duration. Use a video at least 3 seconds long. Clips longer than 5 seconds require a subscription.
Use a sharp photo of one person with a clear face and visible limbs. Include both feet for footwork, and leave some space around the body. A relaxed pose with separated arms gives the tool more detail to work with than crossed arms or a tightly cropped headshot.
Yes, upload a reference video of the choreography you want and have permission to use. For a group performance, crop to one dancer first. Upload the video file directly; the tool does not import TikTok or other social links.
Use a JPG or PNG photo up to 5 MB, and an MP4, MOV, or WebM reference video up to 100 MB. Choose a video at least 3 seconds long that plays in your browser so the tool can read its duration.
The generator follows your selected dance template or uploaded video, which must be at least 3 seconds long. There is no separate length setting. Trim your reference before uploading if you want a shorter clip. Videos longer than 5 seconds require a subscription, based on their actual duration before billing is rounded.
Download your result and add or replace the music in your video editor or social app. Align the main gesture with the beat and trim the clip to fit. This generator uses video to guide movement; music editing happens separately.
The photo guides the person’s appearance, but details can change during movement. Clear photos and front-facing routines tend to be easier to work with than fast turns or covered faces. If hands, feet, or clothing look off, try a reference with less overlap and a steadier camera.
A face swap replaces a face in existing footage. A pose changer usually changes a pose in a still image. AI dance generates a video of your character following a sequence of movements from a reference clip.
Yes. You can also upload a reference for human gestures and other body movements, such as a wave or a pose sequence. The workflow stays the same: choose the person in a photo, then choose the movement in a video.
