Thanksgiving Dance AI is a photo-to-video tool for people who want to join the living-room Thanksgiving Bend with a selfie or a pet photo. The model is asked to follow the dance, and the reference sound is added to the finished 15-second portrait video. It costs 116–646 credits (about $4.31–$24.02 at the lowest monthly rate); 3 sign-up credits do not cover one on their own, and accounts without a purchase receive a moving watermark.

Check and download
Watch the face and the fast arm movements, then download your portrait MP4. Review the sound and rights before posting.
Original Thanksgiving Bend dance
Original living-room dance, 15 seconds. This is the reference, not an AI-generated result. The model is asked to follow its movement; generated results vary.
What is the Thanksgiving dance in this AI video?
The Thanksgiving dance in this template is a single living-room take: one dancer bounces, moves their arms around their shoulders and head, and approaches the camera. The template uses the final 15 seconds of that take as a reference, also called the Thanksgiving Bend or beans greens potatoes tomatoes dance. It is a particular routine, not a generic turkey costume dance.
How does a Thanksgiving AI video use your photo?
A Thanksgiving AI video starts with one photo for the dancer. Person asks the model to use that person’s face and clothes; Pet asks for the animal’s own face, coat and paws. Custom adds your description and an optional appearance picture. The prompt asks the model to follow the reference room, camera and dance, but generated faces, limbs and timing can change between runs.

What can go wrong?
The model may retain the original dancer’s features, alter a face near the camera, or draw an animal paw like a hand. A sharp, front-facing photo helps but does not guarantee a match. Check every result before sharing; completed retries use more credits. This specific combination of reference and models has not been tested with a paid generation.
