Trend Step is one of the people dances we added to AI Dance in April 2026, built from the kind of quick routines that go around TikTok every week. It has no famous name or official challenge behind it, and it does not need one: it is short, it is clear, and it has two moves that people remember. The first is the opening kick. One leg flies up high while one hand pushes down, and the dancer lands in a wide stance on the beat. The second is the triangle: both hands meet in front of the face in a sharp shape, then drop back into the hip rhythm. Between them, the hips do the work, rolling and bouncing to a club beat. Because it is one of our shortest people dances, it is a good first try if you have never made an AI dance video. It is quick to watch, quick to make, and it costs 1 credit per video. It also makes a good reply video: answer a friend's dance post with your own Trend Step. ### The moves A high kick with one hand pushing down, landing in a wide stance. Then a bouncy rhythm in the hips, both hands meeting in a triangle in front of the face, and one arm raised high with the fingers pointing up. Bouncy and energetic, about 11 seconds. ## How to make the Trend Step video 1. **Add your photo.** Upload one clear photo of you or a friend, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can. 2. **Tap Make my video.** The Trend Step dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes. 3. **Download and post.** You get a 11 second 9:16 MP4. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts and add the sound inside the app. ## Best photo for Trend Step - Use a full-body photo, head to shoes. The opening kick needs both legs in the frame. - Leave space on both sides of your body, so the kick and the wide stance are not cut off. - Keep your hands empty and visible. The triangle in front of the face is the signature move. - Pick a sharp photo in good light, facing the camera, with a plain background. - One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame. Avoid: - Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge - Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow - Blurry or very dark photos - Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo ## Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts - Your video comes without music. A club rap or hip-hop sound with a hard first beat fits the kick. - Post it as a reply to a friend's dance video. Short routines work best as answers. - Freeze on the triangle for your cover image. It is the clearest frame of the dance. Caption idea: Kicked it.
