Is the Stateside trend new?

No. The song came out in October 2025 and the dance peaked between December 2025 and March 2026. It came back at the end of October 2026 when one-photo AI templates appeared. This is that AI version.

How many photos and what kind?

One full-body photo, head to toes, standing and facing the camera. The routine has kicks and an arm raise, and the camera never comes closer than head to shoes, so a face-only photo leaves the render inventing the body.

Do my clothes stay on?

Yes. The outfit comes from your photo; the original dancer’s hoodie, sweatpants and trainers are explicitly discarded. That is why a photo in something you actually like is worth the minute it takes.

How long is the video and what format is it?

14 seconds, vertical 9:16, one continuous fixed-camera take, MP4 at 720p (1080p is an AI upscale of that master), no watermark, with the song mixed underneath.

Does it come with the song?

Yes, the Stateside song from the reel is mixed under your clip. It belongs to its owners, this site grants no rights to it, and you can post silent and add the sound on the platform instead.

Can I do it with a friend?

Not on this template: the reel is a solo routine. For two people, use the Hop Hop Hop AI duo or the 58th Floor two-seat rap.

Not yet. A pet needs its own prompt branch and its own reference, because the animal stands on its hind legs and the whole body replaces the dancer.

Which caption should I post it with?

“Boots, that’s my ego boost”, “I’ve been touring Stateside”, “POV: I finally did the Stateside challenge”, or “my dog learned it before me” if you tag a friend’s pet.

How much does one video cost?

7 credits at 480p, 16 at 720p, 26 at 1080p — each resolution is exactly one pack: $6.99, $14.99 or $44.99. A failed render refunds its credits automatically.

Put yourself in the Stateside dance

One photo, fourteen seconds, the whole routine on the song

Upload one photo and get the Stateside dance with your face on it: the bounce, both hands on the head, the hip pops, the hand flicks by the face, the kick and the big arm raise at the end — one fixed camera, one take, the song underneath.

Original song

Fourteen seconds, one fixed take, the Stateside song underneath.

What you get back

One continuous shot from a phone at chest height, no cuts. You stay in frame from head to shoes while the routine runs: bounce, hands to the head, elbows out, hand flicks, kick, and one arm high for the finish. Your photo replaces the dancer; the room, the camera and the timing stay exactly where they are.

The dancer

One full-body photo, head to toes.

Three frames from the routine

The bounce, the head, the finish. Only the dancer changes.

0–2 s: a small bounce, then a step out with one arm swinging

2–4 s: both hands on the head, elbows out, hip pop

11–14 s: shoulder rolls, then one arm raised high

What is the Stateside dance trend?

Stateside is the TikTok routine set to PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson’s “Stateside” — the line everyone mouths is “boots, that’s my ego boost”. The moves are simple to describe and hard to do cleanly: a bounce, both hands on top of the head, elbows out with a hip pop, quick hand flicks beside the face, a kick, and a big arm raise to finish.

The song landed in October 2025 and the dance took off in December: a tutorial in mid-December passed 12 million views, a solo reel on 23 December passed 17.9 million, and a duo version in January passed 15 million. Most reels credit the choreography to the Los Angeles dancer Brandt Ski, with the line “dc: brandt ski”. In February 2026 the figure skater Alysa Liu skated her Winter Olympics gala to the remix and brought a second wave of people to it.

Almost a year after the peak, AI video sites opened one-photo Stateside templates at the end of October 2026, which is what brought the routine back. That is the version here: the routine, the room and the song come from the trend, and the dancer comes from your photo.

How to make the Stateside dance video

One photo and one button. There is no prompt box, because the routine is already decided.

1
Add one full-body photo
The dance has kicks, steps and an arm raise, so the whole body matters. Face to the camera, head to toes in frame, in the clothes you want to dance in.
2
Pick a resolution
480p, 720p or 1080p. The credit cost sits on the button before you pay; 1080p is an AI upscale of the 720p master.
3
Download and post
14 seconds, 9:16, MP4, no watermark, with the Stateside song already under the picture. Keep the platform’s AI label on when you post.

The one seat: the dancer

One seat because the reel is a solo routine. The room, the camera and the timing are fixed, so the only variable is who is dancing — and that is your photo. There is no duo version here; for two people use the Hop Hop Hop swap or the 58th Floor rap.

The dancer

Bounce, hands on the head, hip pops, hand flicks, a kick and the arm raise at the end.

Replaces the dancer. The room, the camera and the timing stay.

What makes a good photo here

This is one of the two effects on the site that wants a full-body photo: the routine is kicks, steps and arms, and the camera never comes closer than head to shoes.

Works

Full body, head to toes, standing, facing the camera
Sharp and evenly lit — the dancer is small in frame for all 14 seconds
The clothes you want to dance in: they come from the photo
One person, with nothing held in the hands

Does not work

A cropped headshot: the render invents a body and the kicks give it away
Two people in one photo — they merge into one dancer
A dark or backlit photo: the face is small enough already
A photo shot mid-jump, where the arms are already up

Same portrait rules as every other effect on the site. Tiny Desk AI photo requirements
