Uptown Funk AI Dance: Your Photo, Every Slide and Arm Pop

Uptown Funk AI dance with you as the dancer: tap a clip, drop in one photo, and you slide and point at the sky on every beat. No app, no template hunt, ready for TikTok.

The Uptown Groove AI dance is going around TikTok this week. Post yours while it is still on the feed.

Uptown Funk dance clips to step into

Tap one of these five in the generator above, add your photo, and you take the dancer's place.

The trend

What is the Uptown Groove AI dance?

Uptown Groove is what TikTok calls the AI trend where one photo turns into a person doing the Uptown Funk dance: side slides, hip sways, arm pops and a finger pointed at the sky to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' 2014 hit. The posts are tagged uptown groove ai edit and uptown groove pixverse trend, because most of them come from a PixVerse template.

Video tool

Here the moves come from five real Uptown Funk dance clips, each loaded as a template you can tap. Tap a clip, add one photo, and the AI copies that dance onto you with your face, hair and clothes, beat for beat. A picture is the only thing you bring. Same photo, another routine: the I'm Not Yo B No More AI dance works the same way, and the Patrick Swayze AI dance gives a photo of two the Dirty Dancing lift.

What the generator is doing

The clip you tap goes into Kling 3.0 Motion Control as the motion reference, and your photo sets the face, hair and clothes. The model follows the dancer's body beat by beat and puts you in their place. The price is on the Generate button before anything runs.

How to do it

How to make an Uptown Funk AI dance video

Tap a dance, add one photo, and your Uptown Funk AI dance comes back as a vertical clip ready for TikTok.

1

Tap the dance you want

Solo against a wall, leading a class, or one of the two duos. The clip you tap is the routine you will do.

2

Add one clear photo

Face to the camera, good light, full body in frame: every Uptown Funk clip here is head to toe, slides included.

3

Add the sound and post

Pick the Uptown Funk sound in TikTok or Reels when you post, so your clip shows up next to the other Uptown Groove dances.

Ideas

Who to put in the Uptown Funk AI dance

Everyone knows this song. The joke is who you make dance to it.

Whoever owns the wedding dance floor

The uncle who waits all night for this song. Now he has a clip of it, and so does the family group chat.

Your boss, on the team chat

A full-length photo of them from the office party, sliding and pointing at the sky. Drop it in the team chat and wait for the first "do me next."

You and your best friend

A duo template with a photo of the two of you, in perfect sync for once. Tag them before someone else does.

You, at the front of the class

The studio clip with your photo leading the room, a whole class matching your every move.

Uptown Funk AI dance FAQ

The trend, the dance and what a clip costs.

The popular AI dance on TikTok this week is the Uptown Groove trend, where a single photo turns into a person doing the Uptown Funk dance. Others making the rounds include the Tung Tung Tung Sahur duo dances and the I'm Not Yo B No More routine, and this site has a page for each.

Uptown Funk is a funk-pop song by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars, released in 2014, built on horns, a slap-bass groove and a call-and-response vocal. The dance that goes with it borrows from funk and locking: side slides, hip sways, sharp arm pops and a finger pointed up.

Not this one: the Uptown Funk AI dance is paid, and the exact price is on the Generate button before you press it. You pick the dance and add the photo first, then see what it costs before anything runs.

Yes. Uptown Groove is the name the trend goes by on TikTok, where the clips are tagged uptown groove ai edit and uptown groove pixverse trend; the dance and the song are Uptown Funk. The Uptown Groove that comes up on Google is a wedding band from Rochester, New York, which is a different thing.

Yes. Two of the five templates are duos: upload a photo with both of you in it, and the person on the left takes the left dancer's place while the person on the right takes the other.
