K/DA is the virtual K-pop girl group that Riot Games made for League of Legends. On 19 October 2026 it released "FIRESTARTER", sung by MIYEON and SOYEON of i-dle, Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb, with an animated music video made with the studio Fortiche and choreography by Sean Bankhead. It was the group's first new single since its 2020 EP, and the video had 17.5 million YouTube views and 709,200 likes two days later. Fans went straight to the dance. The first covers of the chorus came out on TikTok the same day: @dancingintheshed from Sydney at 10:13 UTC, and @yyuzukii.mp4 from Malaysia at 13:12 UTC, the first one to take off (312,400 views and 64,100 likes by 21 October). On 20 October covers of the vogue section followed, the biggest with 688,000 views, and an AI dance app made the chorus the subject of 28 new ads. On 21 October Riot posted an official choreography video, mirrored for learning (1.55 million views the same day), and the EP came out. By then #kdafirestarter had 579 videos and 5.1 million views. ### Firestarter Dance trend timeline - **2026-10-19**: K/DA releases "FIRESTARTER" with an animated music video; it has 17.5 million YouTube views by 21 October.

No editing app, no watermark. ### The one-tap way (no prompt to write) 1. **Add your photo.** Press "Make yours" and add you, head to feet. Take it with the camera or pick it from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/firestarter-dance-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Kling 3.0 Motion Control takes the moves of the Firestarter dance clip and plays them with the one in your photo, in your photo's own scene, for about 13 seconds, with the reel's original sound. You write no prompt. 3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video. Settings: 1 photo (you, head to feet) · kling-3-motion · 13 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 52 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: kling-3-motion, 13 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Replace the character in the video with the person from the uploaded image. Keep actions, poses, facial expressions, camera movement and rhythm. Preserve the person's original facial features, maintain character consistency, no distortion, no glitches, no artifacts. The person dances in the place from the uploaded image, in the clothes and shoes from the uploaded image, not the black crop top with red trim and the black wide trousers of the woman in the video, and keeps their own hair from the uploaded image, not black hair with bangs in a high ponytail. Follow the woman's moves and timing exactly: she walks into the middle with small bouncy steps and a quick kick, drops into a deep wide stance with both arms pushed out to one side, rises with one arm up high and the other hand on the head, flips the hair, rolls the body with the hands framing the hips and the chest, crosses the legs with both hands framing the head, bends low, opens into a wide lunge with the arms crossed in front of the chest and then over the head, whips the hair, and ends on a strong pose with one hand on the hip and a confident look into the camera. Keep the whole body in view from head to feet, with natural balance and stable ground contact. Exactly one person, no other people. One continuous shot. No costume, no animal ears, no tail, no fire, no glowing effects, no text, no captions, no logos. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/firestarter-dance-ai-trend/create ### Which photo works best? You need **one photo of yourself**, standing, with your whole body in view from head to feet. - **Where you stand is where you dance.** The video keeps the place, the light and the frame of your photo, so take it in the room, street or stairwell where you want to dance, with some space around you. - Face the camera, arms a little away from the body, feet on the ground. A sharp photo in good light keeps the hands and the face clean. - **Your clothes stay.** Wear what you want to dance in: wide trousers and a cropped top look like the covers, but anything works. - No sunglasses, no mask and no beauty filter, and nobody else in the photo. - This template is for adults. Use a photo of yourself or of an adult who agreed. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Kling 3.0 Motion Control (this template) | 13 s, 720p, copies the moves of the trend clip, one tap | 52 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the Firestarter dance video, beat by beat? The clip follows the chorus cover second by second, in one steady full-body shot: | Time | What you do | |---|---| | 0-2 s | You walk into the middle with small bouncy steps and a quick kick. | | 2-4 s | A deep wide stance with both arms pushed out to one side, then up tall with one arm high and a hand on the head. | | 4-7 s | A hair flip, then body rolls with the hands framing the hips and the chest. | | 7-9 s | Legs crossed, both hands framing the head, then a low bend. | | 9-11 s | A wide lunge with the arms crossed in front of the chest, then over the head. | | 11-13 s | A hair whip and the final pose, one hand on the hip, eyes on the camera. | The moves come from a real chorus cover; the best AI video models available play them with the person in your photo. You keep your own face, hair and clothes, and the place from your photo stays: your bedroom, your street, your stairwell. The video is about 13 seconds at 720p, in your photo's frame, and the song goes back on after the run. Press "Create your own"; the exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ. ## Firestarter dance tutorial, or let the AI do it Looking for a KDA Firestarter dance tutorial? Start with Riot's official choreography video of 21 October: it is already mirrored, so it works like a Firestarter dance mirror, the way a KDA dance mirror or practice video works for the older K/DA songs. The routine is by Sean Bankhead and NARIA, and the Firestarter choreography people copy most on TikTok is the chorus (the part this page uses) and the vogue section after it. Plenty of fans post a KDA Firestarter dance cover with the mirrored music video on top, so you can follow both. Want the clip today without a week of practice? That is what this page is for. One photo gives you a Firestarter AI dance in your own place: the same chorus, with your face and your clothes. Post it next to every KDA dance cover, tutorial, choreography video and practice clip in your feed, as your own Firestarter dance video. ## Which sound and hashtags should you post it with? Your clip comes with the song, put back on after the run, so it is ready to post. You can turn it off on the result screen and pick the FIRESTARTER sound yourself when you post on TikTok or Reels. The song belongs to Riot Games and the artists, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. Music rules differ from platform to platform, so check them before you use the clip in an ad or a paid post. **Hashtags:** #kdafirestarter is the main tag of the Firestarter dance challenge (579 videos and 5.1 million views on 21 October 2026), then #firestarterkda (114 videos), #firestarter, #kda and #kpop. Keep the platform's AI label on: the dancer in your clip is you, but the video is AI-made.

Use a standing photo with your whole body in view and some space around you. | | The hands blur in the hair flips | Fast hands are the hardest part. Run it again with a sharp photo in good light. | | A ponytail or a crop top you do not have shows up | The prompt bans the dancer's look, but it can slip in. Run it again; a photo with your hair clearly visible helps. | | You sit in the photo | The dance needs a standing body. Use a photo where you stand on both feet. | | The video model refuses the photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. | ## Firestarter Dance trend questions ### What is the Firestarter dance? The Firestarter dance is the chorus routine of "FIRESTARTER" by K/DA, released on 19 October 2026: a walk-in, a deep side lunge with the arms pushed out, a hand on the head, hair flips, body rolls and crossed arms. Fans copy it on TikTok as the Firestarter dance trend, and MakeViral makes your own version from one photo. ### How do I make a Firestarter AI dance video of myself? Press "Create your own" and add one photo of yourself, standing, head to feet in view. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a Firestarter dance AI clip of about 13 seconds: you do the chorus in the place from your photo, with the song. You write no prompt and need no CapCut template. ### Where can I find a Firestarter dance KDA tutorial or mirror? The best Firestarter dance tutorial is Riot's official choreography video of 21 October 2026, which is already mirrored. Many fan covers also put the mirrored music video above the dancer. This page is the shortcut: one photo instead of practice. ### Who choreographed the Firestarter dance? The music video credits the choreography to Sean Bankhead; the official choreography video credits Sean Bankhead and NARIA. The chorus our template uses is the part most fan covers dance. ### Who sings FIRESTARTER? The Firestarter KDA singers are MIYEON and SOYEON of i-dle, Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb. K/DA itself is a virtual group made by Riot Games; the music video is animated. Your clip never shows the group, the game or the music video, only you. ### Where does my Firestarter dance video take place? In the place from your photo. The AI keeps your background, your light and your clothes and only adds the moves, like the covers people film at home or on the street. Want another place? Take the photo there. ### Is the dancer in the example real? Yes. The example is a real cover by the TikTok dancer @yyuzukii.mp4, posted on 19 October 2026 and credited on this page. Your video takes only her moves; the dancer in your clip is the person from your photo, and the video is AI-made. ### Can my pet do the Firestarter dance? Not yet. The model that copies the moves works for people only, and no clean pet video of the chorus exists to copy. For pets, try the [La Calabaza dance](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/la-calabaza-ai-dance) or the [AI dancing dog](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/ai-dancing-dog-video). ### Does the video come with the song, and can I post it? Yes, the clip comes with the same seconds of FIRESTARTER the cover uses, and you can turn it off on the result screen. The song belongs to Riot Games and the artists, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. Check the music rules of the platform before you use it in an ad. ### Which AI models make the video? Top-quality AI video models that copy the moves of a real dance clip onto the person in your photo, at 720p in your photo's frame. They copy the moves, not the dancer's face, hair or clothes. ### What prompt does the Firestarter dance AI trend use? No creator shared one: the trend is real dance covers, and the AI dance app templates are closed. Our prompt is our own: it keeps your face, clothes and place and lists the chorus moves in order. You write no prompt yourself. ### How long is the video and what format is it? About 13 seconds at 720p, in the frame of your photo (a vertical photo gives a vertical video), as an MP4 with the song and no watermark. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [A2O LITE NEON Dance: Do the Duo Intro From Your Photos](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/a2o-lite-neon-ai-dance): The sway, the spin kick, the high-and-low pose and the squat: the viral NEON intro from A2O LITE's debut song.
