Shake Dance | Trending Video Effects API

Shake Dance Effect

Requirements

Number of Images

Required
Only supports uploading one image

Number of People

Supports single person, two-person, or group photos

Image Requirements

Better results when the subject is standing
Not holding any props
Shows a full frontal body view

Prompt

Required
Try not to change the format
Content can be found in the request example 'prompt' parameter
If there are personalized needs, you can make changes to the prompt while keeping the structure and most of the content unchanged

Effect Boundaries

When the subject is holding a prop, both hands may raise while the prop appears to float in the air
If the subject is not standing or has hips/legs obscured, leg movement may appear distorted
In some cases, the hip-swaying motion may have abnormal rhythm or be incomplete

Best Practices

Use clear, front-facing photos
Ensure subjects are standing
Avoid props or handheld items
Keep the default prompt structure
For group photos, ensure all subjects are clearly visible

Shake Dance API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/video-effects/shake-dance with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Shake Dance below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/video-effects/shake-dance" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("video-effects/shake-dance", {
        "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "video-effects/shake-dance",
    {
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Shake Dance API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Shake Dance API?

Shake Dance is a Video Effects model for AI inference, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Shake-Dance is an Image-to-Video model that turns a photo into an expressive AI-generated dance video with natural motion and emotion. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Shake Dance API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/video-effects/video-effects-shake-dance.

How much does Shake Dance cost per run?

Shake Dance starts at $0.30 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Shake Dance accept?

Key inputs: `image`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/video-effects/video-effects-shake-dance.

How long does Shake Dance take to generate?

Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 366 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Shake Dance outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Video Effects). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
