Step by step

How to make a Lonyo dance

The price on Generate is the Seedance 2.5 480P price for that length.

  1. Choose Human or Pet

    Human is the court routine, about 14 seconds. Pet is the cat crew, about 15 seconds. Both are wide 16:9.

  2. Upload one clear photo

    A full-body adult for Human, or one pet with the face and ears sharp for Pet. Use your own photo.

  3. Generate and download

    The picture is made silent. Bakar’s Lonyo is added after. Your download has no watermark.

Which photo works

Human wants one adult, head to feet or at least knees up, face to the camera, in daylight. Skip sunglasses, hats and a second person in the frame.

Pet wants one animal, whole body if you can, eyes open. Cats sit closest to the clip. Dogs and other pets still dance upright with their own face and fur.

Where the Lonyo dance comes from

“Lonyo!” is a 2025 song by the London artist Bakar. It leans on the Spanish hook from Lonyo’s 2000 UK garage record “Summer of Love.” The song’s video is a drone shot of a big playground routine, and that overhead court shape is what people copy.

Late October 2026, people started posting AI swaps of the routine, including upright-cat crews. Human on this page follows the overhead court clip. Pet follows the cat crew. Both stay wide.

  1. Lonyo releases “Summer of Love.” Bakar later builds “Lonyo!” around its Spanish hook.

  2. Bakar releases “Lonyo!” with a drone-filmed court routine. The wide overhead shape is the one this page follows.

  3. AI swaps spread, including upright-cat crews. Those court and cat versions are what Human and Pet follow.

Replace only the lead dancer with the pet in [Image 1]. Keep the species, face, ears, fur and markings from [Image 1]. The pet dances upright on its hind legs with paws, never human hands. Keep every other dancer as the same upright cat crew from [Video 1].

The moves, Human and Pet

Both versions stay wide. The camera sits high over a sunlit court with long shadows and painted lines. Human opens on the group, then cuts to a three-person triangle with your photo at the tip.

Pet opens closer, your pet upright in front of cats, pulls wide, then cuts to the same kind of trio. The pet keeps paws and a tail. It does not grow hands.

Song and hashtags

The track added after generation is Bakar’s “Lonyo!”, the same window as the clip. You can turn sound off on the result. On TikTok you can also pick the song’s sound page so the post joins that audio.

People tag #Lonyo. Pet posts often add #DancingCats. The frame is wide, so a vertical feed shows bars above and below unless you crop later. Your download has no watermark.

Why this one is 16:9

The court and the crew only fit a wide frame. A vertical crop cuts the dancers at the edges and the lines on the asphalt. Human and Pet are both 16:9 at 480P. The court sits in the middle, with black bars on the sides, so the full width of the routine stays in frame.

Human is about 14 seconds. Pet is 15 seconds, the first 15 seconds of a longer cat reel. Your download has no watermark.

FAQ

Questions

What is the Lonyo dance trend?

It is the overhead court routine people know from Bakar’s “Lonyo!” video. On this page you take the front spot of that wide court clip, or your pet leads upright cats.

What song is in the Lonyo AI dance?

“Lonyo!” by Bakar, which samples the Spanish hook from Lonyo’s “Summer of Love.” The track is added after the silent picture. You can mute it on the result.

Can I put myself in the Bakar Lonyo music video?

Your photo becomes the front dancer in this overhead court clip. That is a new file, not a credit inside Bakar’s official release. Upload one adult photo of yourself, or of an adult who agreed.

Which pets work best for the Lonyo cat dance?

Cats sit closest, because the crew is upright cats. Dogs and other pets still work: they dance upright with their own face and fur. A sharp photo of the whole animal helps.

How long is the video and what format is it?

Human is about 14 seconds. Pet is about 15 seconds. Both are wide 16:9 at 480P, with the song, and your download has no watermark.

Is this the same as the Lonyo AI trend on Instagram?

Same idea: a lead in front of a crew, overhead, with the song. Here the lead is your photo or your pet, and the crew stays the court version or the cat version.

Which AI models make the Lonyo AI video?

Seedance 2.5 at 480P, following the wide clip shot for shot and changing the lead. You do not write a prompt.

How do I make a Lonyo dance?

Pick Human or Pet, upload one photo, and press Generate. The credit price is on the button.

Is the Lonyo dance free?

Does my download have a watermark?

No. The sample on this page can show a smew.ai mark. The file you download does not.

Can I post a Lonyo dance on TikTok or Reels?

Yes. The frame is wide, so vertical apps letterbox it unless you crop. Use #Lonyo, and #DancingCats for Pet. The song is already on the file.
