Gangnam Style AI dance samples cut for Lovart

A crosswalk pair and a rooftop solo remixed from 10-second originals, plus an elevator set still designed here.

The horse-riding dance hops from foot to foot like a trot with the wrists crossed as if holding reins, then one arm swings an invisible lasso over the head. Every dancer below is an original generated adult; no real dancer’s face, music video frame or original recording is used. The two clips are Lovart ME cuts of Seedance 2.0 Fast originals; the Elevator set still was made with GPT Image 2.5 Flare on October 29, 2026. None of them came from the workbench above.

02 / Set design

Design the set for a Gangnam Style AI dance

Upload your photo plus up to two set pictures, describe the place, and Image to Image builds a first frame of you standing there.

  1. Step 1 example: an original portrait of a woman in a white hoodie, full body

    Your photo

    One person per photo, face to the camera, full body or waist up with space above the head for the lasso arm. For Night crosswalk add a second person; Swap left and right fixes who stands where.

  2. Step 2 example: a rooftop at dusk with water tanks used as the set

    Set pictures

    Optional: up to two photos of a real place, your office, a stairwell or your own roof. They only steer the walls, light and colors. Describe the place in a few words, like “neon elevator”, and pick a set chip to start from.

  3. Step 3 example: the Elevator set first frame with the dancer ready to trot

    The first frame

    Design the frames sends your photo, the set pictures and the place to Image to Image (GPT Image 2.5 Flare by default) and returns you standing there, wrists crossed, ready to trot. Check the face before you go on.

Neon elevator

Mirrored steel walls and two colors of light strip. A tight space, so the trot reads as a joke; keep the frame full body.

Night crosswalk

Wet stripes and neon signs for two people side by side. Photo 1 stays left, Photo 2 stays right for the whole clip.

Rooftop at dusk

An open sky above the head leaves room for the lasso swing. Good for one dancer.

03 / Last frame

End a Gangnam Style AI dance on the lasso pose

Make a last frame with one arm high mid-lasso and put it in the end slot, so the clip stops on the move everyone knows.

First frame: the pair on the crosswalk with wrists crossed
First frame · wrists crossed
The lasso pose: both dancers with one arm raised over the head
The lasso pose · clip frame at 2.3 s

The right image is a frame from the Trot at the crosswalk clip at 2.3 seconds, shown as a guide to the pose. That sample was animated from a first frame only; no designed last frame was used for it.

First frame

Wrists crossed in front of the chest, knees bent, weight ready to hop. This is the frame Design the frames returns, standing in your set.

Last frame

Design the last frame edits that same picture: same set, same framing, same clothes, with one arm raised high as if spinning a lasso and the other hand at the hip. Animate it then runs Image to Video between the two frames, 10 seconds with Seedance 2.5 by default; the cost shows on each button.

04 / Poster

Gangnam Style AI dance as a poster

Take the last frame into PhotoCraft, add a title and your names, and post the poster next to the clip.

The Elevator set still ready for poster type
Start from any designed frame; the Elevator set still is shown here before type.

Type in PhotoCraft

Download the last frame and open it in PhotoCraft, the free browser editor. Put a short title across the top, your names and the date along the bottom, and keep the type clear of the raised arm.

Or the Poster chip

Pick Poster in the Gangnam Set tab for a still only: your photo in the set you describe, one arm high, with HORSE DANCE NIGHT set across the top. Check the spelling before you print; the type is drawn by the image model.

Questions

Gangnam Style AI dance questions

Can I dance in an elevator or my own office?

Yes. Type the place into Describe the place, for example “glass office lobby”, or pick Neon elevator. Add up to two pictures of the real room as set pictures and the first frame takes its walls and light; the set pictures are never used for a face.

Why use a last frame?

The last frame shows you mid-lasso with one arm high. With a first and a last frame, the video model has to arrive at that pose, so the clip stops on the move people recognise instead of a random step halfway through the trot.

Where did the film-character versions come from?

Peer trend pages report that a TikTok account posted film characters doing the horse-riding dance on October 19, 2026, a week after the first AI remake on October 12.

Is the song included?

No. The clip comes with an original beat or no music. Add the Gangnam Style sound from the TikTok or Reels sound picker when you post.

What photo works for the frames?

Full body or waist up, face to the camera, evenly lit, with space above the head so the lasso arm is not cut off. One person per photo; no sunglasses, masks or beauty filters, and only adults who agreed to it.

Where do the sample clips come from?

They are Lovart ME cuts of 10-second Seedance 2.0 Fast clips made for this trend on October 29, 2026 from the set stills on the cards: re-cut, reframed and color graded, with no new AI generation. The Elevator set still was made on this page’s sample pipeline, not in the workbench.
