How to make a Hotline Bling dance video
A Hotline Bling dance video takes four steps here, with no editing app, no prompt and no song to add afterwards. The tool sits at the top of this page.
1Add one or two photos
Photo 1 dances Drake’s six shots: the wide shots, the medium shot, the two close-ups, the hand at the ear and the finger wag. Photo 2 dances the solo dancer’s four shots: the squat, the lean on the pink wall, the blue room and the look back. To be in every shot yourself, upload the same photo in both slots. Clear, front-facing photos in good light work best.
2Pick the length and the frame
10 seconds ends during the lean on the pink wall, 15 seconds during the finger wag, 19 seconds after the low bend in the grey room (Seedance 2.5 only). 16:9 keeps the music video’s wide frame; 9:16 asks the model to reframe each shot for TikTok and Reels.
3Pick a model and a resolution
Seedance 2.5 at 480p for 15 seconds is the default (146 credits); 10 seconds at 480p is the cheapest test (97 credits), and Seedance 2.5 goes up to 1080p. MiniMax H3 makes 768p (145 credits for 15 seconds). The price shows on the button before anything is charged.
4Generate and download
It takes a few minutes and keeps running if you close the page. The finished MP4 already has the music video’s own sound under it, cut to your length.
What is the Hotline Bling dance in the music video?
The Hotline Bling dance is Drake’s loose, bouncy solo from the 2015 music video directed by Director X: bent knees, swinging arms, a hand held to the ear like a phone and a wagging finger, alone in empty rooms that glow pink, lilac, magenta, pale grey and bright blue. The cut this generator follows also has four shots of a solo dancer, which is why it takes two photos.
| Time | Part | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 0 s–3.6 s | Drake’s part (photo 1) | Wide shot down a long, empty light-box room with pink walls and a violet glow overhead; the person from photo 1 is small at the far end, bouncing on bent knees with loose swinging arms |
| 3.6 s–5.6 s | Drake’s part (photo 1) | Medium shot of the person from photo 1 in a lilac room: a hand held to the ear like a phone, finger points, an arm waving out, leaning back |
| 5.6 s–7.1 s | Dancer’s part (photo 2) | The person from photo 2 alone in a magenta room, side-on, sinking into a deep squat and holding it |
| 7.1 s–8.9 s | Drake’s part (photo 1) | Low-angle close-up of the person from photo 1 in a pale grey-blue room: a hand cupped at the jaw, then both hands flicking their fingers toward the lens |
| 8.9 s–10.3 s | Dancer’s part (photo 2) | The person from photo 2 leans back against a pink wall, swaying the hips, one arm loose at the side |
| 10.3 s–12.7 s | Drake’s part (photo 1) | Wide shot of the person from photo 1 in a pale grey room under a violet ceiling, a hand at the ear like a phone, stepping and bouncing |
| 12.7 s–14.1 s | Dancer’s part (photo 2) | The person from photo 2 stands in a bright blue room, back three-quarters to the camera, rolling the shoulders and looking back |
| 14.1 s–15.6 s | Drake’s part (photo 1) | Close-up of the person from photo 1 in a pale lilac room, wagging an index finger at the lens, then holding it to the lips |
| 15.6 s–17 s | Dancer’s part (photo 2) | The person from photo 2 in profile against a lilac-to-peach gradient wall, looking back over the shoulder into the lens |
| 17 s–19 s | Drake’s part (photo 1) | Wide shot of the person from photo 1 in the pale grey room under the violet ceiling, a hand at the ear, then bending forward low with one arm swinging out |
The Hotline Bling pose most people mean is the hand at the ear like a phone, from 3.6 s and again from 10.3 s. Each run is a new take, so a move can land a few frames early or late; the timeline is what the model is asked to follow, not a frame-exact promise.
Is this the Hotline Bling meme generator?
No: the Hotline Bling meme generators most searches turn up make the Drakeposting image, two stills of Drake from this video, one waving something away and one pointing at it approvingly, with your captions. This page makes the moving version: your own photos dancing the music video, with its sound, as an MP4.
If you want the two-panel yes/no picture, any image meme maker does it in a minute. If you saw a TikTok where someone in their own clothes dances in the glowing rooms and then cuts to a dancer leaning on a pink wall, that is this video trend, and the generator above is built for it.
What does Hotline Bling mean?
Hotline Bling means the ring of a phone line: in Drake’s 2015 song, a former partner used to call him late at night, and since he left the city she has changed and stopped calling him. The title is the sound of that phone, and the hand-to-ear move in the video plays on it.
The music video premiered on Apple Music on 19 October 2015. The official upload on YouTube followed on 26 October 2015. Its single-colour light rooms are what the AI trend copies. Lyrics are on the official video and streaming services; this page does not reprint them.

What the Hotline Bling generator can’t do
The Hotline Bling generator makes one fixed cut: Drake’s shots and the dancer’s shots of the music video, in their order, with its sound. It does not let you choose other scenes of the video, change the rooms or the song, put two people in the same shot, or promise the same face in every frame.
Other scenes of the video
The red puffer jacket solo and the staircase dancers are not in this cut. Only the shots listed above are made.
Change the rooms or the song
The light-box rooms and the sound are fixed. To rap your own words over a beat, use the AI rap video generator instead.
Promise a frame-exact dance
The model is asked to keep every move in time with the cut; a new run is a new take, so timing can drift a little.
Guarantee the same face throughout
The prompt asks the model to keep each face, hair and outfit from the first shot to the last, including the close-ups and the turns; results vary with the model and the photo. A sharp, front-facing photo in good light gives it the most to work with.
Make celebrities or strangers
Use your own photo or an adult who said yes. The video model refuses some photos; those videos are refunded.
Hotline Bling video FAQ
Can my cat or dog do the Hotline Bling dance?
You can upload a pet photo in either slot. The prompt asks the model to keep an animal as itself, with its own fur and no clothes, dancing upright with the same moves; results vary with the model and the photo.
Is this the Hotline Bling Just Dance routine?
No. The Just Dance routine is the game’s own choreography to the song. This video follows the shots of Drake’s 2015 music video.
Can I use the video in an ad?
Not with the sound as it is: making the video gives you no right to the song or the footage it copies. For an ad, get a licence or swap the sound, and get written permission from everyone in the photos. RapTwins has no connection to Drake or the song’s owners.
