With millions of views across TikTok and Instagram, dancers worldwide joined in with their own crews.

Face swap, CapCut template or AI generator?
A face swap or standard CapCut template pastes flat faces onto someone else's body, creating awkward neck seams, warped hands, and mismatched skin tones. This generator films the entire 12-second dance from your photos: your faces, your hair, your builds, and your real clothes, maintaining full-body motion, natural lighting on the court, and authentic line-dance physics from start to finish.
One photo or the whole crew (up to 5 people)
Only the center lead dancer is required. If you upload just one photo, you become the lead in the center of the formation, while four stylish AI dancers fill the rest of the line. Upload two, three, four, or five photos to cast your friends, family, or teammates across the court line from left to right. The generation price remains the same regardless of how many photos you provide.

Crie a trend de IA Keep On Steppin por conta própria: o que incluir no prompt
To build the Keep On Steppin dance yourself, you need an image-to-video foundation model with motion guidance (such as Seedance 2.0 Fast) and multi-subject conditioning.
- Multi-character spatial positioning: Explicitly declare 5 distinct dancer positions across the frame (far-left, mid-left, center, mid-right, far-right) to prevent character merging.
- Continuous low-angle crane tracking: Specify a seamless camera transition from chest-height wide view down to a dramatic low-angle worm's-eye shot tracking backward.
- Choreography beat milestones: Break the 12 seconds into timestamped beats: shoulder sway (0-3s), foot shuffle (3-6s), knee stomp (6-8.5s), and camera-topping advance (8.5-12s).
- Silent motion plate guidance: Feed a clean, silent motion reference video to drive accurate rhythm and physics without visual audio artifacts.
- Post-production audio mux: Composite the 12-second AAC track onto the finished video in post-production for crisp, lossless audio synchronization.
