Overview
What our Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend template does
Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend turns two photos into a 14-second group dance video with sound: the person in your first photo leads the Lonyo routine in front, and a crew dressed like your second photo dances in sync around them on an open hill. It's a one-click template, not a prompt-based generator like Sora or Kling. You get to be the lead and choose what the whole crew wears, instead of dropping into a fixed crowd.
The Lonyo dance comes from the music video for "Lonyo!", a 2025 single by the London singer Bakar: a huge crowd does the same after-school routine while the camera moves from close-ups to a shot from high above.
What makes people replay it is the moment the camera lifts and you see how many dancers are moving as one. In the AI versions, the person who uploaded their photo is suddenly the one in the middle of all that, which is why the remakes spread on Instagram from late October 2026.
Upload one photo of the lead and one photo that shows the outfit for the crew. Our Bakar Lonyo AI dance tutorial shows both test photos and the result frame by frame.
Fan-made template, not affiliated with Bakar or the makers of the music video. Only upload yourself or people who agreed to appear. You must be 18 or older, and photos of celebrities, public figures or children aren't allowed.

Ideas
Who makes a Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video
Friend groups
Friend groups put the birthday person or the bride-to-be in the lead slot and use a group photo in matching shirts for the crew, so the whole crew is dressed like the squad.
Teams and brands
Small teams put the founder or coach in front and a photo of the team uniform or merch in the crew slot; in our test, a lead in a camel coat danced ahead of a crew all in pink hoodies.
Only have one photo?
Use your own photo for the lead and keep the sample crew photo in slot 2; the crew then wears the sample outfit and you still get the full 14-second dance.

Tutorial
Which photos work best for the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend?
The best photos for the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend are a full-body or knees-up photo of one adult for the lead, and a clear photo of the outfit you want the crew to wear, because the lead dances full length in front and the crew all copy the second photo's clothes.
Lead photo
- → One adult only
- → Full body or knees up
- → Face clearly visible
Crew photo
- → Shows the outfit clearly
- → Matching clothes work best
- → Adults only
What the template adds
- → The Lonyo routine
- → The open hill and blue sky
- → Sound and the rising camera
What to avoid
- → Face-only selfies for the lead
- → Blurry or very dark photos
- → Photos of children
- ✓
A full-length lead photo
Our lead kept her camel coat, white shirt, glasses and dark hair through every move.
- ✓
A crew photo in one outfit
Our crew photo showed pink hoodies and joggers, and every dancer in the crew wore them.
- ✕
A face-only selfie as the lead
The lead is seen head to toe, so a close-up leaves the body and clothes to guesswork.
- ✕
Two people in the lead photo
There is one lead, so a second face in that photo can get mixed in.

You look like your photo, the crew wears your pick
The lead's face, hair, glasses and clothes come from photo 1; the crew's outfit comes from photo 2. In our test the camel coat stayed on the lead and every crew member wore the pink hoodie.
14 seconds, wide shot, sound on
A landscape frame like the original, so the whole crew fits in the aerial shot, with sound included.

What is the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend?
The Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend is a set of AI remakes of the group dance from the music video for "Lonyo!", Bakar's 2025 single, in which a new lead dances in front of a big crew. The remakes spread on Instagram from late October 2026.
What happens in the Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video, second by second?
0–3s, close-up of the lead dancing in the middle of the crew; 3–4s, the camera pulls up and back; 4–10s, wide shot from above as the whole crew does the routine in sync with the lead in the center; 10–11s, a fast camera sweep; 11–14s, three crew dancers finish the routine on the grass, seen from above.
What song is the Lonyo dance trend?
The song is "Lonyo!" by the London singer Bakar, released in 2025. Its music video, directed by Tom Emmerson, is where the group routine comes from.
Can my friends be in the Lonyo dance crew?
Yes. The second photo sets the crew, so a photo of your friends or team in matching clothes puts the whole crew in that outfit. The lead comes from the first photo, so one of you leads and the rest of the crew dresses like your group.
Why doesn't the lead dancer look like me?
Usually it's a face-only selfie or a photo with two people in it. Use a photo of one adult, full body or knees up with the face clear, then run this template again.
Is Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend free?
Not completely. New accounts get 75 free credits, and one Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend video takes 450. The $5.99 trial pack (540 credits) covers one video at about $4.99 and leaves 90 credits in your account. The exact cost shows on the Generate button, and failed renders are refunded automatically.
How long is the video and how much does it cost?
About $4.99 for one video with the trial pack, or about $4.50 on the Lite plan. That is 450 credits for a 14-second, 480p landscape clip with sound; ours rendered in under 5 minutes.
Do I need CapCut or an app?
No. Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend runs in your browser on phone or computer: upload two photos, press Generate and download the MP4. There's no app or CapCut template to install.
Why is this generator the best Bakar Lonyo AI Dance Trend generator?
Four reasons: the lead looks like your photo, it costs less, you get a clean video, and it's ready to post.
Looks like your photo: the lead's face, hair and clothes come from your first photo, and the crew wears the outfit from your second, so you choose both. We ran this setup until it worked, so you can get it on the first try instead of spending credits on retries.
Costs less: about $4.99 per video with a one-time trial pack and no subscription.
Clean video: no watermark on any plan, free credits included, and if a render fails your credits come back automatically.
Ready to post: 14 seconds with sound in a wide frame that fits the whole crew, so it goes straight to Reels, TikTok or Shorts with no editing or dubbing.
Which caption and hashtags should I post it with?
Post it with the sound on and a caption like "POV: I'm leading the Lonyo dance". Mention it's AI and add #lonyo and #bakar so people who know the song find it.
Is this an official Bakar video?
No. It's a fan-made template, not affiliated with Bakar or the makers of the music video. Only upload yourself or people who agreed to appear.
Do you keep my photos, and are they used for training?
Your photos and videos stay in your account, so you can download them again from My Videos at any time. They are never used to train AI models and are not sold or shared, except with the video model provider that renders your clip.
