Seedance: Create AI Dance and Motion Videos From Any Image

Guide to using Seedance for AI dance and movement videos. Turn still images into expressive motion clips.

What Is Seedance?

Seedance is ByteDance's AI video model optimized specifically for human movement and dance. While general-purpose video models can handle basic motion, Seedance generates fluid, expressive full-body movement that looks natural and dynamic.

It's particularly effective for content where the primary appeal is the movement itself — dance videos, performance content, and expressive character animation.

Best Use Cases

Dance content: Generate professional-looking dance clips from a single still image. Great for TikTok and social media.

Character animation: Bring illustrated or AI-generated characters to life with expressive body movement.

Fashion in motion: Show clothing and accessories with natural body movement and fabric dynamics.

Performance visualization: Preview choreography or movement concepts without actual filming.

Getting Started

In the Video Lab on Genso AI, select Seedance as your model. Upload a full-body image of your subject — the more of the body that's visible, the better the motion will be.

For your motion prompt, describe the movement style: "Fluid contemporary dance moves, graceful arm movements, spinning" or "Energetic hip-hop dance, dynamic poses, confident movement."

Seedance works especially well with AI-generated character images from Seedream 4.5 or Nano Banana Pro — you can create a character and animate them in a complete end-to-end workflow.
