One adult, facing the camera. A full-body shot gives the most accurate dance; from a selfie the body is filled in by AI.

What is an AI dance generator?
An AI dance generator turns a still photo into a dancing video. You choose the moves, WowMade builds a full-body version of the person in your photo, and a motion-transfer model makes that person perform the dance frame by frame — with the music already on it. No filming, no editing, and no dancing skills needed.
It is the dance-specific cousin of image to video: instead of describing a motion in words, you pick a real choreography and the AI follows it exactly. For anything else a photo can do — talk, sing or move freely — see the talking photo, AI lip sync and the full AI video generator.
Turbo or Quality?
| Turbo | Quality | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Trying dances, quick posts, calm routines | Fast moves, close-up faces, clips you will keep |
| Detail | Clean and stable for most photos | Sharper faces, hands and clothing on fast steps |
| Price per dance | 7–9 credits | 14–20 credits |
| Your own clip | Up to 12 credits | Up to 27 credits |
Priced by the length of the dance; failed videos are refunded. Plans renew monthly until cancelled — see pricing details.
Dance to your own clip
Switch to Your own dance to use any short clip of one person dancing — a routine you filmed, a step you are learning, or a video from My Creations. It works best at 3–10 seconds with the dancer's whole body in frame, and the clip's own sound is carried onto the result. Every clip is checked before anything is charged: nudity, sexual moves, more than one dancer and anyone who may be under 18 are declined.
What people make with AI dance videos
Reels, Shorts and TikTok
Vertical 9:16 with sound, ready to post. Restyle the result as anime or claymation with change video style, or cut several dances together in the video merger.
Birthday and party surprises
Make the guest of honour dance the Macarena, then pair it with a personal track from the birthday song generator.
Music videos
Write a song in the AI music generator and build the visuals in the AI music video generator — a dance cut makes a strong chorus shot.
Seasonal posts
Restyle the photo for the season in the image studio, then dance. For October, the Halloween video generator has spooky effects to pair with it.
Talk, sing, then dance
Open with a greeting from the talking photo or a chorus from the singing video generator, then cut to the dance.
Longer and sharper cuts
Continue a dance with the AI video extender and take it to 1080p with the AI video enhancer.
Tips for a clean AI dance
Show the whole body if you can. A full-length photo keeps the outfit and proportions you actually have. From a selfie, the body below the frame is filled in by AI before the dance starts.
Face the camera, in good light. A front-on pose and even light follow the moves best. A dark or soft photo can be sharpened first with the AI photo enhancer.
Keep the background simple. Busy backgrounds can shimmer during fast steps like breakdance or popping. The background remover or the AI background changer gives you a clean stage first.
Match the dance to the photo. Calm styles such as ballet, belly dance and the Macarena are the most forgiving; fast styles look best on Quality.
Consent and labelling
Use your own photo, or a photo of an adult who has given you explicit permission — you confirm it for every video, and the statement is stored with it. The photo is checked before any credit is taken: public figures, group shots and pictures of a screen or print are declined. Every dance video is AI-generated and carries a visible AI label plus a signed C2PA provenance mark, in line with Article 50 of the EU AI Act; anyone can read the mark on the verification page. The Content & Safety Policy sets out what may not be created. Plans renew monthly until cancelled and can be cancelled online at any time; the full terms are on pricing details.

What is an AI dance generator?
An AI dance generator takes a still photo of a person and a dance, and renders a video of that person performing the moves. WowMade first builds a full-body version of the photo, then transfers the motion of the dance onto it frame by frame, keeping the face, hair and outfit from the photo and carrying the dance's music onto the result.
How do I make a photo dance?
Pick a dance at the top of this page, add a photo, say who is in it and tick the consent statement, then press Make it dance. The video renders in one to three minutes and is saved to My Creations. It costs 7–20 credits depending on the length of the dance and whether you pick Turbo or Quality.
Which dances can I choose?
Hip Hop, K-Pop, Salsa, Disco, Macarena, Breakdance, Popping, Locking, Waacking, Reggaeton, Flamenco, Belly Dance, Ballet. Each one is a short vertical clip of five to six seconds with its own music, and the tile plays the exact moves and music your video will get. You can also upload your own dance clip.
What is the difference between Turbo and Quality?
Both use the same dances and music. Turbo is the fast, cost-effective mode and works well for most photos, at 7–9 credits a dance. Quality runs our newest motion engine, which keeps faces, hands and clothing sharper and steadier through fast moves like breakdance or popping, at 14–20 credits.
What kind of photo works best?
One adult facing the camera, in good light, with the whole body in frame. A selfie works too: the body is filled in by AI before the dance starts, so the outfit below the frame is a guess. Plain, fitted clothes and an uncluttered background give the steadiest result.
Can I use a photo from My Creations?
Yes. Click the photo tile and switch to My Creations to pick any image you have made on WowMade, such as a portrait from the image studio. It goes through the same checks as an upload.
Can I upload my own dance video?
Yes. Switch to Your own dance and upload a clip of one person dancing, 3 to 10 seconds long, or pick a video from My Creations. The moves and the clip's sound are carried over, and only the first 10 seconds are used. Every clip is checked before anything is charged, and clips with nudity, sexual moves, more than one dancer or anyone who may be under 18 are declined.
How long is the dance video and what format is it?
Template dances run five to six seconds and your own clip up to 10 seconds. Every video is a vertical 9:16 MP4 with sound, the native shape for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok, so it posts without cropping.
Can I make the dance video longer?
Yes. Open the finished video in the video studio and use Extend to continue it, or join several dances into one clip with the video merger. Both work on any video in My Creations.
How long does it take?
Usually one to three minutes. You can leave the page while it renders: the video lands in My Creations and the queue at the top of the site shows its progress.
Whose photo can I use?
Your own, or a photo of an adult who has given you explicit permission. You confirm this every time, and the statement is stored with the video. Photos of public figures, group shots, screenshots and photos of a screen or magazine are declined before any credit is taken.
Is the video labelled as AI?
Yes. Every dance video made from a photo carries a visible AI-generated label in the corner and a signed C2PA provenance mark, which anyone can read on the verification page. The dancers in the template previews are AI-generated characters, not real people.
How much does an AI dance video cost?
A dance costs 7–9 credits on Turbo and 14–20 on Quality, priced by the length of the dance; your own clip costs up to 12 or 27 credits. Credits come with a plan, and plans renew monthly until cancelled and can be cancelled online at any time.
What happens if a video fails?
You keep your credits. A failed or timed-out dance is refunded automatically, and a photo or clip declined by the checks is never charged, so you can fix it and try again straight away.
