What is the Smalltown Boy AI dance trend?

A viral TikTok and Reels format set to Bronski Beat's 1984 song "Smalltown Boy": two people scream into the camera in wide-angle close-ups, then dance side by side. The AI version swaps in your own faces, hair and outfits.

How do I make a Smalltown Boy AI dance video?

Upload two photos, one person per photo, and press generate. imageat builds an identity sheet for each person and transfers them into the original performance. You can preview and download the finished video when it is done.

Does the video include the original Smalltown Boy song?

Yes. The finished video keeps the audio of the source clip, so you do not need to add the music afterwards.

Can I use one photo of both of us?

No. Upload two separate photos with one person in each. If you only have a group photo, crop it into two pictures, one per person.

Which photo plays which role?

Photo 2 screams first and dances on the left. Photo 1 takes the second close-up and dances on the right.

Can I make it with my cat or dog?

This version is built for two people. Each photo becomes a human identity sheet before animating, so pet photos are not a supported input.

How long is the video?

About 24 seconds in vertical 9:16 at 480p. It follows the full source clip.

Will my hair and outfit carry over?

The workflow keeps each person's face, hair, body and outfit from their own photo. Fast motion, hands over the face and lens distortion can reduce consistency.

How much does it cost?

Signing up is free. The generate button shows the exact credit cost before you start; credits come from a monthly plan, with one-time credit packs available as top-ups.

Is the preview a generated result?

No. It shows the original performance used for motion, camera and audio.

Upload two photos to make a Smalltown Boy AI dance video starring you and a friend, a partner, a sibling or a coworker. No video editing, prompts or dance skills are needed. For each photo, the workflow first builds a photorealistic identity sheet with full-body views and several face angles, so each person keeps their face, hair and outfit through the fast close-ups. Motion transfer then places both people into the original performance in a fixed order: Photo 2 screams first and dances on the left, Photo 1 takes the second head-clutching close-up and dances on the right. The source clip supplies the handheld wide-angle camera, cuts, courtyard, daylight, choreography and the original Smalltown Boy audio. The result is a vertical 9:16 video of about 24 seconds, ready to post on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The previews on this page show the source footage, not a generated result.
