AI animal dance prompt: the paws-up dance with friends or your dog — free to copy.
The animal dance trend is paws-up hands, little hops, a wiggle and a cheeky claw swipe. Below are complete original prompts for people, for your pet, and for you plus your pet — with explanations, photo tips and fixes. It's our own routine, not the artist's choreography. Or use the generator in one click.
In short
To make the AI animal dance, give an image-to-video model your photo(s) and a prompt for a playful animal-inspired routine — hands up like paws, little side hops, a shoulder wiggle, a claw swipe at the camera and a paws-up finish — in a bright pastel studio, 9:16, full body. For a dog, ask it to stand on its hind legs with front paws raised. Copy the prompts below, or use duet.room's AI animal dance generator.

Works in any image-to-video model that accepts reference photos (Kling, Seedance, Hailuo, Runway and others): attach the photos in order, paste the prompt, choose 9:16 and 5–10 seconds.
You + your dog (two photos)
A 10-second vertical 9:16 bright, fun dance video, static camera, full bodies in frame. The person from [IMAGE 1] and the dog from [IMAGE 2] side by side; keep the person's face, hair and outfit and the dog's breed, fur colour and markings exactly as in the photos. Setting: a bright pastel studio with a soft backdrop. 0–5 s they do a playful animal-inspired routine together: the person raises hands like paws and hops side to side while the dog stands up on its hind legs with front paws raised and wiggles; 5–10 s they repeat it bigger and finish with a cute paws-up pose together. The dog is never harmed or distressed. No text, no logos. Original bouncy pop instrumental, no vocals.
Two friends (two photos)
A 10-second vertical 9:16 bright dance video, static camera, full body. The person from [IMAGE 1] and the person from [IMAGE 2] side by side; keep both faces and outfits exactly as in their photos. Bright pastel studio. In sync: hands up like paws, little hops side to side, a shoulder wiggle, a playful claw swipe toward the camera, then a cute paws-up final pose. No text, no logos. Original bouncy pop instrumental, no vocals; do not copy any existing choreography.
Just your pet (one photo)
A 6-second vertical 9:16 video, static camera. The pet from [IMAGE 1]; keep its breed, fur colour and markings exactly as in the photo. Bright pastel studio. The pet stands up on its hind legs with front paws raised, does little hops side to side, wiggles to the beat and finishes with a cute paws-up pose. Never harmed or distressed. Original bouncy instrumental, no vocals.
What each line does
| Prompt line | Why it's there |
|---|---|
| “hands up like paws … claw swipe … paws-up final pose” | Describes the vibe of the trend with generic moves — not a copy of any real choreography. |
| “stands up on its hind legs with front paws raised” | The single most important line for pets; otherwise dogs just sit. |
| “keep … breed, fur colour and markings” | Pets drift into generic animals fast without this. |
| “bright pastel studio … static camera, full body” | Clean background keeps the focus on the moves and avoids clutter. |
| “never harmed or distressed” | Keeps pet videos wholesome and platform-safe. |
Which photo to use
- People: one adult per photo, full body or waist-up, face visible.
- Pets: a clear, well-lit photo with the whole animal visible, ideally standing.
- No baby or child photos — they're not supported on duet.room.
- No photos of the band members or other celebrities.
Common fails and how to fix them
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| The dog just sits there | Say “stands up on its hind legs with front paws raised” and “hops side to side”. |
| Your dog turns into a different breed | Use a sharper photo and keep “breed, fur colour and markings exactly as in the photo”. |
| Moves look random | List the moves in order and keep the clip to 6–10 seconds. |
| It looks like a copy of the real dance | Keep “do not copy any existing choreography” — the trend works with your own playful routine. |
