A Practical 4-Step Tutorial: Make an AI Baby Dance Clip People Will Rewatch

Most tutorials fail because they’re vague. The best Medium pieces give readers a workflow they can reproduce and improve.

Try one quick run with create baby dance for free, then scale into a repeatable series using create on GoEnhance AI.

Step 1: Choose a “trackable” photo

upload baby image
Aim for clarity and structure:

  • Face is clear and well lit
  • Arms and legs visible
  • No heavy motion blur
  • Background not busy

Pro tip: If you’re unsure, pick a photo where the baby’s outline is easy to trace with your eyes. If you can’t “read” the body quickly, the model will struggle too.

Step 2: Pick the right reference (start with a simple one)

choose a template
For your first clip, use a reference that is:

  • Front-facing
  • Not too fast
  • Mostly in one place (no walking across frame)
  • Shot with a steady camera

Many “bad” results aren’t bad generation—they’re bad reference.

Step 3: Generate a “stable version” first

Your first goal is not viral. It’s believable.

  • Keep motion moderate
  • Keep duration short (6–10s)
  • Avoid extreme arm swings and fast footwork

Once you get a stable clip, then you can experiment with more aggressive dance styles.

Step 4: Package it like a short-form post

This is what upgrades it from “AI demo” to “native content”:

  • Mute source audio and add a beat
  • Start movement on a beat drop
  • Add a one-line caption that sells emotion, not tech Examples:
    • “He said it’s leg day.”
    • “When the snack hits.”
    • “First day of dance school.”

A repeatable settings checklist

Item Recommendation
Clip length 6–10 seconds
Photo Clear subject, visible limbs
Reference Stable camera, simple motion
Posting Beat drop start + short caption
