How to Make the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend Video From 2 Photos

A Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video puts you in the middle of the big group dance from Bakar's "Lonyo!" music video: you dance up front, a whole crew moves in sync around you, and the camera rises for the wide shot. Most Lonyo templates only let you drop one photo into a fixed crowd. We made the clip above on 8 November 2026 from two photos, one for the lead and one that sets what the crew wears. Here is exactly how: what we uploaded, what it cost, the prompt behind it and how to fix a result that doesn't look right.

What is the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend?

The Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend is a wave of AI remakes of the group dance in the music video for "Lonyo!", a 2025 single by the London singer Bakar. The original video, directed by Tom Emmerson with choreography by Joe Grey Adams, Jordan J Funk and Aisha Amuah, shows a huge crowd doing one after-school routine while the camera climbs to a shot from above (It's Nice That covered it on 1 September 2025). From late October 2026, AI versions on Instagram put a new person at the front of that crowd. It's also searched as Lonyo Dance AI or Lonyo AI dance.

What happens in a Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video, second by second?

A Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video keeps the routine and the camera moves, and changes who dances and where. In our 14-second result:

How to make the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video in 4 steps

1. Open the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend template

Go to the Bakar Lonyo AI dance generator. Wan 3.0, 480p, 14 seconds and sound are already set, and the Generate button shows the cost (450 credits) before you spend anything. You don't write a prompt.

2. Upload the lead photo and the crew photo

Slot 1 is the lead: one adult, full body or knees up, face clear. Slot 2 sets the crew: the crew copies that photo's outfit, so pick a photo where the clothes are easy to see, ideally a group in matching clothes. We used a studio shot of a woman in a camel coat and glasses (face close-up plus full body) for the lead, and a photo of a dance group in pink hoodies and joggers for the crew.

3. Press Generate

Press Generate. Ours finished in under 5 minutes (4 min 45 s) and was saved to My Videos, so you can close the tab and come back.

4. Check the lead, download, post

Watch the first 3 seconds for the lead's face and coat, and seconds 4–10 to check the lead stays in the center of the wide shot. Then download the MP4, which has no watermark.

The template uses this exact run. Under the hood it is a video-to-video edit: the model gets the trend clip and your two photos, and the prompt tells it who goes where. This is the prompt, already built into the template:

"In the center at the beginning" is what pins photo 1 to the lead spot, and "all wearing the same outfit" is why every crew member got the pink hoodie instead of a mix of clothes. Moving the scene to an open grassland gives the crew a clean, bright backdrop instead of the original playground.

Which photos work best for a Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video?

• Lead: one adult, full body or knees up. The lead is seen head to toe in the wide shot, so a face-only selfie leaves the body and clothes to guesswork.
• Lead: clear face. Glasses are fine; ours stayed on.
• Crew: show the outfit. The whole crew wears what this photo shows. Matching clothes (team shirts, hoodies, uniforms) give the cleanest look.
• Adults only, people who agreed. Use yourself and friends who said yes; no celebrities or children.

Why doesn't my Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video look right?

• The lead doesn't look like me: usually a face-only selfie or two people in the photo. Use one adult, knees up or full body, and run the template again.
• The crew outfits are mixed: usually a crew photo where clothes are hard to see. Use a photo with one clear outfit.
• The lead is gone at the end: that is the routine; the last 3 seconds show three crew dancers from above.
• A render failed: credits come back automatically; run it again.

Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend by hand vs with AI

Doing the Lonyo dance for real means learning the routine, getting dozens of people in matching outfits to one open space and finding a way to film from above. The Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend template needs two photos and about 5 minutes, at about $4.99 a video. Want another group dance after this? Try Smalltown Boy AI dance for a duo, or iPhone Kupi Dance AI.

How to post your Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video

The video is landscape, which keeps the whole crew in the aerial shot. Post it as is on Reels or YouTube, or let TikTok fit it inside a vertical frame. A caption like "POV: I'm leading the Lonyo dance" works; say it's AI and add #lonyo and #bakar.
