Example resultYour outfit: you appear in the clothes from your photo. If it shows only part of your outfit, AI completes the rest to match, so a full body photo gives the most accurate result.
Videos are made by AI, so some results may not turn out right. Common causes include photos that are blurry, too dark, too bright or partly covered, and movement the AI cannot follow. Photos of public figures may be rejected or not replaced.

How to Make a Smalltown Boy Dance AI Video
Two photos and about ten minutes
Upload Two Full Body Photos
Add one clear photo for each dancer, one person per photo, facing the camera from head to shoes. Each of you dances in the outfit from your own photo, so pick the looks you want to be seen in. The first photo opens the video and the second one screams in the big close-up.
Pick a Background or Keep the Street
Leave the background box empty to dance on the original city streets, or type a place such as a sunset beach, a snowy rooftop or a neon arcade. Then tick the consent box and press Create video. The price is shown on the button.
Download and Post
Your video is usually ready in about ten minutes and waits in My Videos for 48 hours. Download the MP4 and post it with the trend sound on TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
What Is the Smalltown Boy Dance Trend?
It is a two person dance trend set to Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy, where one dancer screams into a wide-angle lens while the other dances behind, then they swap and finish side by side.
Where It Started
Elvira and the dancer mr_unvrs posted the original duet on Instagram on 4 August 2026, filmed close to the lens on an ultra-wide camera. In October an AI version with two cats went viral on TikTok and people began remaking it with themselves, their friends and their favorite characters.
The Routine
One dancer opens in an extreme close-up and screams at the camera while the other dances behind. They swap places for a second scream, then both dance side by side, strike a pose from a low angle and lunge at the lens to end. The screaming is all in the faces: the only sound is the song.
Your Version Here
This tool follows the real cuts, camera moves and timing of the dance. Your faces, hair and outfits come from your two photos, and you can keep the city streets or type any background you like, from a sunset beach to a neon arcade.
Smalltown Boy Dance AI FAQ
What people ask before making their own version
What is the Smalltown Boy dance trend?
It is a two person dance trend on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts set to Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat. One dancer screams into a wide-angle lens while the other dances behind, they swap places, then they dance side by side and lunge at the camera together.
Who started the Smalltown Boy dance?
Elvira and the dancer mr_unvrs posted the original duet on Instagram on 4 August 2026. An AI version with two cats went viral on TikTok in October 2026, and remakes with friends, couples and characters followed.
What song is used in the Smalltown Boy trend?
Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, released in 1984 and sung in Jimmy Somerville's famous falsetto. Your video keeps the music from the original clip.
Is this the same as the Smalltown Boy parents dance from 2024?
No. In 2024 people filmed their parents dancing like it was the 80s to the same song. The 2026 Smalltown Boy dance is a scripted duet with the scream, the swap and the shared ending, and that is the one this tool makes.
How do I make a Smalltown Boy dance AI video?
Upload one full body photo for each dancer at the top of this page, add a background if you want one and press Create video. In about ten minutes you get a 15 second clip of the two of you doing the whole routine.
Who should I make it with?
Anyone who agreed to it: your best friend, your partner, your sibling or your roommate. The trend works best with two people who look nothing alike, so a big contrast in outfits makes the swap even funnier.
Can I change the background?
Yes. Type a place in the Background box, such as a sunset beach, a school hallway or a disco floor, and the AI swaps the streets behind you while the dance stays the same. Leave it empty to keep the original city streets.
What will we wear in the video?
Each dancer wears the outfit and shoes from their own photo. If a photo shows only part of an outfit, the rest is made to match the visible clothes, so both of you look complete from head to shoes.
What kind of photos work best?
Sharp full body photos of one person each, facing the camera, with the shoes in the frame and the face evenly lit. Skip heavy filters, sunglasses and harsh flash. Use PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 5 MB, each side 256 to 4096 pixels.
How long is the video?
15 seconds in vertical 720p with the original sound, covering the second close-up, the swap and the full street duet to the final lunge. It is ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Can I use my cat or dog?
This version is made for people. Pets need a different setup, so for now use photos of two people.
Why does the video look a little different from our photos?
The video is made by AI and some results miss. Blurry, dark or partly covered photos are the most common cause, and the fast moves and close-ups can blur a few frames. If a generation fails, the credits go back automatically.
Is this tool made with Bronski Beat or the original dancers?
No. This tool is made by EAST.IM and is not linked to Bronski Beat, Jimmy Somerville, the original creators, TikTok or Instagram.
How much does it cost?
Each video costs the number of credits shown on the Create video button. Video tools are open to subscribers and credit pack buyers.
Whose photos can I use?
Use your own photo and one of someone who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload strangers, children or public figures.
