HOP. KNOCK. HOLD.
AI scene example
One photo. Your own take on the dance.
Classic solo uses a character photo and a dance video reference. Other styles are prompt-only demonstrations. Your result will vary.
The dance, in a photo
What is Toc Toc Dance AI?
A photo supplies the character. An optional dance video guides the hops, knocking gestures, turns and scene; without a reference clip, a prepared prompt supplies the routine. It creates a new interpretation, so expect variation in the face, footwork and timing rather than an exact copy of a viral performance.
One subject, clearly framed
Start with one person, pet or character. An unobstructed full-body photo gives the model more information about clothing, limbs and proportions.
Four ways to perform
Pick a classic room, street-style studio, upright pet character or original mascot. Each choice uses a prepared scene direction.
A complete preview
Keep the default ten-second vertical clip or change the settings. Watch the generated result and check the movement before downloading.
Actual generated clips
One routine. Four personalities.
These examples were generated with Seedance 2.0 at 480p and 9:16. Classic solo is a 10-second result using the AI-created character photo shown below plus a dance video reference. The other three are 6-second prompt-only scene demonstrations. Audio has been removed from the examples. They show possible interpretations, not a guarantee of your result.
01 / Classic solo
A portrait takes the floor
A new character follows the reference dance and room with one short replacement instruction.
Replace the dancer in Video 1 with the character in Image 1.
02 / Street style
A little streetwear attitude
A casual outfit and an uncluttered studio for a personal social clip.
Visible shoes · Independent arm motion · Consistent outfit
Settings: 6s · Prompt only · 480p · 9:16

A six-second full-body dance video of one fictional adult woman with short curly hair, a mustard sweatshirt, loose dark jeans and white sneakers. A pale blue studio with a clean floor. Keep the uploaded subject’s original outfit and colors; use relaxed, playful body language. Perform this playful hop-and-knock sequence with a deadpan expression: first raise one knee and bounce twice on the other foot; then keep bouncing and mime knocking on an invisible door with one fist three times; finally place both feet down, give one small forward kick, then spread both arms low and hold a still finishing pose. Fit the sequence into 6 seconds. The knee lifts, one-foot hops and knocking gesture must be clearly visible. Fixed frontal camera, head and both feet always visible, continuous full-body shot, grounded feet, consistent appearance, exactly two arms and two legs. No camera movement, cuts, additional subjects, text, logos or singing.
03 / Pet character
A cat tries the steps
This upright cat simplifies the hops into small steps and paw gestures: a playful variation, not a precise dance copy.
Recognizable markings · Upright fantasy pose · Paw knocking gesture
Settings: 6s · Prompt only · 480p · 9:16

A six-second full-body dance video of one stylized anthropomorphic orange tabby cat with white paws, standing upright on two hind legs. A pale peach studio. Reimagine the single pet as a stylized upright dancing character, retaining its face, fur markings and ears. Use two hind legs for the hops and a front paw for the knock; this is fantasy character motion, not natural animal behavior. Perform this playful hop-and-knock sequence with a deadpan expression: first raise one knee and bounce twice on the other foot; then keep bouncing and mime knocking on an invisible door with one fist three times; finally place both feet down, give one small forward kick, then spread both arms low and hold a still finishing pose. Fit the sequence into 6 seconds. The knee lifts, one-foot hops and knocking gesture must be clearly visible. Fixed frontal camera, head and both feet always visible, continuous full-body shot, grounded feet, consistent appearance, exactly two arms and two legs. No camera movement, cuts, additional subjects, text, logos or singing.
04 / Original character
A robot learns the rhythm
Explore an original mascot’s movement while keeping its silhouette readable.
Simple silhouette · Separate limbs · Character motion
Settings: 6s · Prompt only · 480p · 9:16
View the actual prompt
A six-second full-body dance video of one original friendly teal robot with a rounded square head, two articulated arms and two short legs, no logos. A pale mint studio. Preserve the original character’s distinctive silhouette, face, colors and limb design. Use clear, simple movements. Perform this playful hop-and-knock sequence with a deadpan expression: first raise one knee and bounce twice on the other foot; then keep bouncing and mime knocking on an invisible door with one fist three times; finally place both feet down, give one small forward kick, then spread both arms low and hold a still finishing pose. Fit the sequence into 6 seconds. The knee lifts, one-foot hops and knocking gesture must be clearly visible. Fixed frontal camera, head and both feet always visible, continuous full-body shot, grounded feet, consistent appearance, exactly two arms and two legs. No camera movement, cuts, additional subjects, text, logos or singing.

Upload one clear photo
Choose JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB. Keep one subject fully visible, with room around the hands and feet. The selected image stays local until you generate.
02
Choose the dance and settings
Add a dance reference for closer choreography and its original scene, or select a photo-only style. Use MP4 or MOV, 2–15 seconds, 480p–720p, up to 100 MB. Ten seconds gives the routine room to develop. Review the input-plus-output credit cost and sign in to generate.
03
Watch, download and share
Check the face, knocking hand and footwork in the on-page preview. Download the video, then add permitted music in your editor or publishing app. Exact beat matching is not guaranteed.
Select a dance style instead of writing a long prompt. Trying an example changes the style in the creator while keeping your selected photo.
The cost is visible
The current credit quote updates with duration and resolution. A dance reference adds its duration to the billable time. The server verifies the final quote. Reference jobs are saved as Canvas projects.
Your framing, your format
Choose vertical 9:16 for a social clip or landscape 16:9 for a wider scene. Available lengths run from 4 to 15 seconds; very short clips can omit steps.

Toc Toc Dance AI, explained
What is Toc Toc Dance AI?
It turns a subject photo into an AI-generated interpretation of the hop-and-knock dance: a raised knee, rhythmic bounces and a knocking gesture. Add a dance reference video to guide the sequence, timing and scene. Without one, a prepared prompt guides the motion. Exact frame-by-frame matching is not guaranteed.
How do I make my photo dance?
Upload one clear photo, optionally add a dance reference video, or choose Classic solo, Street style, Pet character or Original character for photo-only generation. Review the settings and credit cost. Sign in to generate. Preview the completed video on this page before downloading it.
Is the Toc Toc Dance AI generator free?
Browsing examples, selecting a photo for a local preview and exploring settings are free. Video generation requires sign-in and enough account credits for the displayed cost. Available free credits can be used, but may not cover a complete video.
Which photos and output settings can I use?
Upload one JPG, PNG or WebP file up to 10 MB. A single, unobstructed full-body subject works best. Optional dance references must be MP4 or MOV, 2–15 seconds, 480p–720p and up to 100 MB. The default output is 10 seconds, 480p and 9:16. Settings offer 4–15 seconds, 480p/720p/1080p and vertical or landscape framing. Short clips may compress or omit parts of the routine.
Will the face and dance match perfectly?
No. The photo guides identity. A reference video guides choreography when supplied; otherwise a prompt describes the dance. Facial details, hands, footwork and timing can change. Keep the subject separate from the background and review the whole clip; exact likeness or choreography is not guaranteed.
Can I animate a pet or an original character?
Yes. Pet character requests an upright fantasy dance, not realistic animal movement. Original character is designed for a clear mascot silhouette. Use one subject with visible limbs; paws, markings and stylized body shapes can vary in the output.
Does the video include the Toc Toc song?
The original song is not supplied or licensed by this tool. Reference-video generation removes the reference audio on your device and requests a silent result. Photo-only audio may vary. Exact beat synchronization is not promised. Add a track you are permitted to use in your video editor or social publishing app.
What happens to my photo and the finished video?
Selected files are previewed on your device until you generate. Reference video audio is removed locally before upload; this does not change your original file. Generation uploads copies; your original files are not overwritten. The result appears here with preview and download actions. Video-reference jobs use private storage and are saved as Canvas projects; photo-only jobs appear in generation history. Reference-video pricing includes the input video duration as well as the output, with the server verifying the final quote. If a task fails, the page displays an error so you can adjust the input.
