Gangnam Style AI dance crosswalk and rooftop samples

A pair at a night crosswalk and a rooftop solo, remixed from 10-second originals.

Crosswalk duo starts from two original portraits of adults, one per person: the man from photo 1 stands on the left and the woman from photo 2 on the right. Rooftop solo starts from a single full-body portrait. Both source clips were made with Seedance 2.0 Fast on 29 October 2026, vertical 9:16, 720p, 10 seconds long.

For this page about 9 seconds of each clip were kept, gently reframed, colour graded and speed-adjusted, with the ghibliia.com mark at the top left. Nothing was mirrored, so each dancer keeps their side from start to finish. The audio is an original beat, not the song. No credits were spent on these samples. Use this photo →

Rooftop solo

A woman with a short black bob and a red track jacket dances on a rooftop at dusk, water tanks and a pink sky behind her: a foot-to-foot trot, crossed wrists and one arm circling over her head.

    • No sunglasses, masks or beauty filters
    • Only adults who agreed to it; never celebrities or children
    • For a pet, one sharp photo standing or sitting

    Check the preview

    After the upload the maker shows your photo in vertical 9:16 with the Gangnam Style effect already selected. Make sure the feet, or at least the waist, are in frame with room at the sides for the trot; swap the photo if not.

The horse-riding steps of the Gangnam Style AI dance

Hop foot to foot with crossed wrists like reins, then swing one arm over the head like a lasso.

The move came back in 2026. A peer page reports that on 5 October @emiliyyam posted "gangnam style in gangnam", three friends taking turns at one selfie camera at night in Seoul's Gangnam district, which reached 17.5 million views by 22 October. The first AI remake followed on 12 October, and template tutorials on the 21st.

The trot

Bounce from one foot to the other like a trotting horse, knees loose, wrists crossed in front of the belly as if holding reins. The rooftop sample shows it in the first seconds.

The lasso

Keep trotting while one arm rises and circles overhead, then cross the wrists again. In the crosswalk sample both dancers swing it together and finish by pointing at the lens.

Gangnam Style AI dance starring your pet

One sharp photo of the pet standing or sitting; trotting pets are among the most shared.

Pet versions have been around for months: peer pages point to an AI Labrador from 30 December 2025 and an orange cat Short from 20 October 2026. The maker takes the same single photo; only what you shoot changes.

Cats

Whole body, sitting or standing, eyes open and fur in focus. Skip flash shots at night and lying-down poses: the front paws need to be visible for the trot.

Dogs

Standing, or sitting up on the back legs, shot from the dog's eye level. Take off a harness that covers the chest and leave room above the head for the lasso swing.

Watercolour anime Gangnam Style AI dance

Turn your photo into a watercolour on Image, then animate it on Video as the first frame.

Paint the photo

On Image, upload your portrait and ask for a watercolour anime illustration: full body, wide stance, wrists crossed in front, vertical 9:16. The first frame then already holds the starting pose.

Animate the painting

Open Video, set the illustration as the first frame and describe the trot and the lasso. The clip comes with the model's own beat rather than the original recording, so add the Gangnam Style sound in TikTok or Reels when you post.

Gangnam Style AI dance FAQ

Why is Gangnam Style trending again in 2026?

A selfie video shot in Seoul's Gangnam district on 5 October 2026 went viral, and AI remakes started appearing from 12 October, according to peer pages.

What is the dance called?

The horse-riding dance: a trot with the wrists crossed like reins, plus an arm that circles overhead like a lasso.

Is the song in the generated clip?

No. You get the video without the original recording, or with a different beat. Pick the Gangnam Style sound in TikTok or Reels when you upload.

Which photo gives the best result?

Full body or waist up, facing the camera, with space above the head for the lasso. One adult, no sunglasses or filters.

Can two friends dance it together?

Yes. Build a side-by-side scene from two photos on Image, then use it as the first frame on Video. The Crosswalk duo sample was made that way.
