Make anyone in a photo dance — salsa, ballet, K-pop, hip-hop — by copying the moves from a dance video with motion control, or by describing the dance for Wan 3, with music.
Couple
Havana salsa
The couple dances salsa in the street, he spins her and the yellow dress flares, onlookers clap, salsa music
Quick answer
An AI dance video generator transfers motion: it takes the body movement from a reference dance video (or a template) and applies it to the person or character in your photo. On Kenerate you have two ways. The motion tool copies any dance video you upload onto your photo with 12 engines, including Kling 3.0 Motion (3–30 s references), SCAIL 2 and SteadyDancer (up to 2 minutes) — it works on the free plan. Or Wan 3 image to video makes the dance from a prompt, with music, like the 5-second examples here. A clear, full-body, front-facing photo works best.

In depth
What the models can do, how to prompt them, and what isn't allowed.
Apps like Viggle offer thousands of dance templates. A motion tool does the same with any dance you upload, so you choose the exact routine, length and song.
Kling's guide asks for a 3–30 second reference, an image framed like the reference (full body with full body), a single subject, and an image at least 300 px on the short edge.
