Build a Prompt Around Role, Motion, and Identity
Effective dance-video prompts are specific about who changes, what motion should be followed, and which parts of the scene must stay stable. The examples below are educational prompts only. They do not expose or copy the private production configuration used by the site generator.

What Is a Charme Dance AI Prompt?
A prompt is a set of production instructions for a video model. In a dance-reference workflow, it should explain which person is replaced, what the source motion controls, and which visual properties should remain stable. The photo supplies identity, and the reference supplies choreography. The prompt helps the model understand how those inputs relate.
This site’s normal generator does not require you to enter a prompt. Its reference and production instructions are already configured. The examples here are useful for learning how AI dance prompts are structured, testing other tools, or planning a personal project.
Do not treat teaching prompts as internal settings
Anatomy of an Effective Dance Video Prompt
Character role
Name the replacement target: the central black-hat lead, not the background ensemble.
Motion reference
State that the reference controls timing, full-body choreography, group blocking, and camera rhythm.
Identity preservation
Ask for stable face, hair, skin tone, clothing silhouette, and body proportions through motion.
Scene continuity
Preserve the stage, warm lighting, group size, formation, and fire or light accents.
Copyable Prompt Examples
Teaching Prompt
Use the uploaded adult portrait as the identity of the central lead dancer in a 15-second group dance video. Preserve the reference clip’s black hat, full-body choreography, ensemble formation, warm amber stage lighting, camera movement, and fire accents. Keep the face, hair, and body proportions consistent. Do not replace the supporting dancers or redesign the stage.
Avoid
extra lead dancers, changing group size, warped hands, face melting, random camera cuts, text overlays
Recommended: 9:16, 720P or 1080P, reference video required
Teaching Prompt
Animate the photographed adult as the only central lead dancer. Maintain the same face, hairline, hair length, skin tone, and outfit silhouette through profile turns, arm swings, and partial occlusion by the group. Follow the source timing and stage blocking exactly. Keep the background dancers unchanged and preserve a natural live-performance look.
Avoid
identity swap, changing hairstyle, rubber limbs, duplicated face, sudden close-up, background collapse
Teaching Prompt
Create a 15-second full-body dance clip using the provided portrait as the lead identity and the provided video as the motion reference. Maintain the reference’s camera push, ensemble rhythm, warm stage lights, dark background, and brief fire accents. Use realistic fabric motion and stable hands. Keep the lead readable whenever other dancers cross the frame.
Avoid
neon color shift, daylight scene, flickering lights, incoherent stage, excessive motion blur
Teaching Prompt
Adapt the reference dance into a 1:1 social video. Keep the same choreography and group formation while framing the black-hat lead as the identity replacement. Preserve the lead’s face, hair, and body proportions, and retain the original stage atmosphere. Use clean edges and a centered composition suitable for a square post.
Avoid
cropped face, missing feet, stretched frame, blurry ensemble, extra people
Recommended: 1:1, 720P, social caption-safe framing
How to Specify the Correct Lead Dancer
The lead is the person the viewer should recognize after the transformation. In this reference, the black hat and central placement make that role visually distinct. A prompt should say “central black-hat lead” instead of “the person in the video,” which could be interpreted as every dancer in the group.
The remaining performers are part of the scene. Replacing all of them with one face creates a duplicated character and weakens the group-performance idea. Ask explicitly to keep the background dancers, formation, and spacing unchanged.
Camera Motion, Rhythm & Stage Lighting
Camera language matters because a dance clip can fail even when the face looks right. Specify that the camera should keep the lead readable during group crossings and avoid random cuts that break the reference timing.
Lighting is part of the identity of the scene. The reference uses warm stage tones, darker surroundings, and fire-like accents. If the prompt asks for a completely different color palette, the output may look like a different event rather than a personalized version of the same dance.
Common Problems and Negative Prompt Tips
Negative instructions should target visible failures rather than vague quality words. Useful items include warped hands, duplicated faces, changing group size, missing lead, random camera cuts, unstable clothing, rubber limbs, and text artifacts.
If the face changes during a turn, add an identity clause and simplify the scene. If the model replaces the whole group, repeat that only the central lead should change. If the camera drifts, describe the reference camera as the authority.
Using Photo and Video References Together
A photo says, “this is the person.” A video says, “this is how the body, group, camera, and timing should move.” Combining them is different from text-only generation because the model receives an explicit motion source instead of guessing choreography from a sentence.
Use a portrait with the same gender presentation, clothing silhouette, or visual proportion you want in the result when possible. Conflicting cues can force the model to invent a compromise, especially around hair, shoulders, and outfit shape.
Wan, Kling & Other AI Video Tools
Wan 3.0, Kling, and other video systems expose different strengths and controls. Some favor prompt-driven camera motion, while others are designed around image identity plus a reference clip. Prompt language should follow the actual capabilities of the tool you are using.
