What is the shan shen bu dance?

Shan shen bu (闪身步, roughly "dodge step" in Chinese) is a viral side-step dance trend: fast sliding steps from side to side, loose arm swings and kicks, done to a bouncy beat. Some spell it shan sheng bu, and the shan shen bu meme versions put animals in the lead.

Our template makes it from one photo of you: your face, hair and outfit, the courtyard, the routine and the animals in the background.

Questions

Is Shan Shen Bu Dance AI free?

No. A template video uses 750 credits at 480p (1,500 in HD), about $10 with a credit pack. Starter and Pro plans pay half (375) and Unlimited pays 30%: 225 credits a video, about $2.25. The 100 free credits you get when you sign up are not enough for one video.

What does the name mean?

Roughly "dodge step" in Chinese (闪身步): the quick sideways slip the whole dance is built on.

Do I need to know the dance?

No. The steps, the kicks and the crouch come with the template; you only need one photo of yourself.

Whose photo can I use?

Adults only: photos of children are not supported. Your own photo, or a friend’s who agreed to be in it. No famous people. Uploads go through an automatic safety check.

Does the video have sound?

Yes: your video comes with the trend’s sound, so you can post it to TikTok as it is. If TikTok flags the sound for copyright, swap in the same song from TikTok’s sound library when you post.
