What is the Transmission 5 Dance?
The Transmission 5 Dance is an electro duo routine filmed in a grey parking lot: two men side by side doing arm locks, hand passes, a deep squat and quick footwork in perfect sync. It comes from an Instagram reel that electro dance teacher Nikita (@nikitaenc0re) and @el_diablork posted on 13 October 2026, which had 4,566 likes and 188 comments by 28 October.
The name comes from the track it is paired with, Transmission 5, an acid house song by Gerardo Delgado and Quinn Whalley featuring Craig Louis Higgins. On TikTok, #transmission5 had 66,681 views on 28 October 2026, so the trend is still early.
What happens in a Transmission 5 Dance AI video, second by second?
A Transmission 5 Dance AI video follows the reel's 12 seconds in one fixed low shot, with both dancers on the same beat:
| Seconds | What the two dancers do |
|---|---|
| 0–3 | Wide stance, sharp arm locks at chest height |
| 3–6 | Arms thrown overhead, then a deep low squat |
| 6–9 | Fast hand passes, arm swings and footwork side by side |
| 9–12 | More arm locks in sync, ending with an arm up |
Faces, hair and clothes come from your two photos. The parking lot, the camera angle, the moves and the track come with the scene.
How to make a Transmission 5 Dance AI video in 4 steps
1. Open the Transmission 5 Dance page
Go to make a Transmission 5 Dance AI video. The template is open at the top with Wan 3.0 and the prompt set: 12 seconds, 480p, vertical, with sound.
2. Add two photos, left and right
Photo 1 is the dancer on the left, photo 2 the dancer on the right. One person per photo, head to toe, face to the camera. Use your own photos, or a friend's with their OK.
3. Press Generate
The button shows 240 credits before you start. Our run took about seven minutes; the video lands in My Videos, so you can close the tab.
4. Download and post
Download the MP4 without a watermark. It is vertical with the track, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Tag your friend and post it under #transmission5 and #electrodance.
Which photo plays which dancer in the Transmission 5 Dance?
In the Transmission 5 Dance, photo 1 always becomes the left dancer and photo 2 the right dancer, as you look at the video. In the original reel the left dancer wears a black T-shirt and the right one a cap and a leopard-print jacket; in your video neither outfit stays, each dancer wears what is in their own photo.
Contrast makes it funnier. For our test we used a green-mohawk punk in a studded vest and red plaid trousers for the left, and a ginger quiff with blue sunglasses, a flame shirt and striped tube socks for the right. Both kept their full look for all 12 seconds, and neither borrowed the other's clothes.
What settings did we use for the Transmission 5 Dance AI video?
We used Wan 3.0 in video-to-video mode: the 12-second dance clip as the motion reference, plus two reference photos. Settings: 480p, aspect ratio matched to the clip, audio on, 240 credits. It worked on the first run on 30 October 2026. The prompt names left and right explicitly and tells the model not to mix the two people, which is what keeps outfits from crossing over:
Replace the two dancers in the source video: the dancer on the LEFT becomes the person in IMG 1, and the dancer on the RIGHT becomes the person in IMG 2. Match each person's face, hairstyle, outfit and accessories exactly to their reference image. Keep the original dance moves, timing, positions, camera motion, background and lighting completely unchanged. Each character stays consistent throughout the whole clip, with no swapping and no mixing of features between the two. Natural body proportions, realistic skin and fabric.
You don't need to type any of this. The Transmission 5 Dance AI template runs this exact setup when you press Generate.
Which photos work best for the Transmission 5 Dance?
The best photos for the Transmission 5 Dance show one person standing, head to toe, face to the camera, because both dancers are filmed full body from a low angle.
| Photo | How it turns out |
|---|---|
| Full body, front-facing, sharp | Best: face, outfit and shoes all carry over |
| Waist up only | Weaker: the legs and shoes have to be guessed |
| Sunglasses or hat over the face | Weaker: less face to match in the squat |
| Group photo | Weaker: crop to one person first |
| Two very different outfits | Funnier: the contrast is the joke |
