On AI Dance, the template copies his moves onto your own photo: your face, clothes and background stay, and your body follows the dance beat by beat. ### The moves It starts with the hands locked over the head and a quick step, then the dancer turns to the back with both arms up and bounces on the beat. He turns side on, comes back to the front with loose arms and a little groove, drops into a deep wide squat with the hands on the knees, and springs up into a jump with both hands thrown up. ## How to make the Pick It Up 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 Pick It Up 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. It comes with the dance's music. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts, and swap the sound inside the app if you like. ## Best photo for Pick It Up - Use a full-body photo with your feet in the frame: the dance has a deep squat and a jump. - Leave space above your head: the hands go up and over it. - Stand facing the camera with your arms relaxed at your sides. - Jeans and a long sleeve top look just like the original clip. - 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 with the dance's music. To join the trend, use "original sound - DJZACKKK" in TikTok and turn the original sound down. - Use the tags people search for: #pickitupdance, #dancetrend and #fyp. - Land the jump with both hands up on the last beat: it is the move people watch for. - Try the night look: a lit-up parking lot or plaza like the original clip.
