How to make a Thanksgiving Dance video in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Fill the middle, left and right slots

    Thanksgiving Dance will not start until all three slots have a photo. The middle slot is the dancer in the grey suit, the left slot the white T-shirt, the right slot the grey hoodie. One person or pet per image, head to feet, facing the camera.

  2. 02

    Pick 480p or 720p

    Basic 480p is 50 credits. Standard 720p is 100 credits. There is no 1080p option. Both are 13 seconds, vertical, with the clip’s sound. The button shows the number before you are charged.

  3. 03

    Start the dance, then download

    Confirm the photos are allowed, then start. Thanksgiving Dance keeps rendering for 2–10 minutes if you close the tab. Download from My videos within 7 days, before the photos and the video are deleted. A failure returns the credits for that resolution.

What does a Thanksgiving Dance video include?

  • A family of three dances together in Times Square at night

    A 13-second vertical dance

    Thanksgiving Dance makes a 13-second vertical video from three full-body photos. The street, the screens, the lights and the fixed full-body framing come from the original clip. Your three subjects take the middle, left and right spots and follow the same steps at the same moments.

  • Frames from the two Thanksgiving Dance examples: a dog, a fox and a cat, then three women

    The sound is already in the file

    Thanksgiving Dance does not ask for lyrics or an uploaded beat. The clip’s sound is part of the download, the same way the other live templates carry their own tracks. Typing a verse will not change this dance. The lyrics-to-video mode is not live.

  • Three grandparents dance arm in arm in Times Square at night

    50 credits at 480p, 100 at 720p

    Thanksgiving Dance costs 50 credits at Basic 480p and 100 credits at Standard 720p, the same as No Hands Dance. Both are 13 seconds with sound. There is no 1080p tier. A failed video returns the credits for the resolution you chose.

  • A golden retriever, a corgi and an orange cat in sweaters dance in Times Square at night

    Ready in 2–10 minutes

    Thanksgiving Dance renders in 2–10 minutes and keeps going if you close the tab. Pick the file up in My videos. The three photos and the finished dance are deleted after 7 days, so save the download you want to keep.

Who is Thanksgiving Dance for?

  • Families together for the holiday

    Thanksgiving Dance gives three relatives one spot each: whoever wants the lead takes the middle, and two others take the sides. Collect the photos while everyone is in the same room. Every person pictured must be an adult who agreed to appear.

  • Three friends doing the trend together

    Thanksgiving Dance is built for three people who all want to be in the clip. Give each friend their own full-body photo and decide who takes the middle. With two people, No Hands Dance fits better; with one, Burning Bridges.

  • Pet owners with a holiday cast

    Thanksgiving Dance accepts a pet in any of the three roles. Put the dog between two friends, or let three animals take the street. The first example on this page shows a dog, a fox and a cat. A pet photo still needs one subject, head to feet, in clear light.

  • Creators posting a seasonal dance

    Thanksgiving Dance is a 13-second post with the sound already attached. You are not timing cuts or writing a prompt. Personal use and social posting are what the terms allow for the video. Save it within 7 days. 480p spends half the credits of 720p if you are testing a version first.

Which photos work best for Thanksgiving Dance?

Thanksgiving Dance needs all three slots filled. Each photo is one person or one pet, head to feet, facing the camera, in good light. JPG or PNG, at least 341 px on each side. People must be consenting adults. Celebrity photos are not allowed.

Put each photo in the spot where you want that subject to dance. The middle spot leads the routine; left and right dance beside it. Faces, hair and clothes come from your photos, not from the original dancers, so dress each subject the way you want them to appear. A cropped headshot does not give the full-body pose this template follows.

1.Middle dancer (grey suit)

Photo one replaces the man in the grey suit and red tie who dances in the middle of the reference clip.

2.Left dancer (white T-shirt)

Photo two replaces the dancer on the left, in a white T-shirt and patterned light-blue jeans.

3.Right dancer (grey hoodie)

Photo three replaces the dancer on the right, in a grey hoodie, face mask and bucket hat.

For human subjects, choose adults who have given permission for this dance video. Keep celebrity photos out of all three slots.

Where does the Thanksgiving dance come from?

  • Nick Kosir, the Dancing Weatherman

    The man in the grey suit and red tie is Nick Kosir, a former TV weather forecaster known as the Dancing Weatherman. He is known for dance videos filmed on the plazas of Times Square in New York.

  • A three-person street dance in Times Square

    The clip shows three dancers at night in Times Square: Kosir in the middle, a dancer in a white T-shirt on the left and a dancer in a grey hoodie, face mask and bucket hat on the right. It is captioned “Thanksgiving bend”. The camera stays still and keeps all three in full view, which is why the template asks for full-body photos.

  • Made for Thanksgiving week

    Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026, one of the few days when the whole family is in one room, so collecting three photos is easy. The scene itself is a Times Square street at night, so the dance does not need a dinner table or a turkey.

How does Thanksgiving Dance compare with the other live templates?

Thanksgiving Dance is the live template for three people or pets. ATEEZ Drip also takes three photos, but only of people, for a 15-second dance at 720p for 50 credits. No Hands Dance takes two photos of people or pets for 14 seconds at 480p for 50 credits or 720p for 100. Burning Bridges needs one portrait for a 16-second party clip at 100 credits for 720p or 200 for 1080p. Outstanding Tiny Desk needs a lead, and up to four more band photos, for a 17-second concert at those same prices.

A new Thanksgiving Dance video is 13 seconds, vertical, with the clip’s sound in the file. All three spots need a photo: middle, left and right. Use full-body photos, one subject each, facing the camera. People must be adults who agreed to appear. Celebrity photos are not allowed. Basic 480p is 50 credits. Standard 720p is 100. There is no 1080p option. Rendering takes 2–10 minutes and continues if you close the tab. Download from My videos within 7 days, before the photos and the video are deleted. A failed render returns the credits for the resolution you picked. The terms allow personal use and posting to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. They do not grant a commercial license for the video.
