How to make the Trouble Maker Dance video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no prompt to write, no watermark.

  1. Add the two photos

    Press "Create your own" and add dancer 1, on the left at the start, then dancer 2, on the right at the start. Photo 1 goes on the left of the scene, photo 2 on the right. Take them with the camera or pick them from your library.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 puts your photos into the Trouble Maker dance trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 15 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt.

  3. Download or share

    The video is ready in up to several minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos.

Which photo works best?

You need two photos, one per dancer.

  • Photo 1 is the dancer on the left at the start, photo 2 the one on the right. In Couple, photo 1 takes the man's part of the reel and photo 2 the woman's part, but anyone can take either part: each of you keeps your own face, hair and clothes.
  • One person per photo, standing, head to toes if you can. The duet is full of hip sways and steps, so full-body photos give the best legs.
  • The face sharp and turned to the camera, in good light, with no sunglasses and no hat over the face.
  • Pet Duo: two sharp photos, one pet each, whole body in view. Two cats, two dogs or one of each.
  • Use your own photo and a photo of an adult who said yes, or your own pets. Never a celebrity, a child or a stranger.

Where did the Trouble Maker Dance trend start?

"Trouble Maker" came out on 1 December 2011 as the debut of the K-pop duo Trouble Maker: HyunA of 4Minute and Hyunseung of BEAST. Its stage routine, a close and teasing duet, became one of the best known K-pop couple dances (many people search for it as the trouble maker hyuna dance), and the pair even toned down part of the choreography after criticism of the close moves.

The Trouble Maker dance is not a new trend: it is an evergreen dance cover. On TikTok, a friends duo by @sunlight_mk reached 2.0 million views in November 2023, a studio cover by @yiienittko.o 1.9 million views in January 2024, and a man and woman cover by @a_kim.i 1.9 million views and 276,200 likes in February 2024.

In June 2026 it came back as a twins trend on a new sound: @double_v8 posted on 8 June (242,300 views) and @bnb.twins on 11 June (291,900 views). That sound was in 1,329 videos by 3 November 2026. #troublemakerdance held 230 TikTok videos and 10.4 million views that day. On 2 November 2026 AI template sites added Trouble Maker duet templates, which is where the Trouble Maker AI dance comes from.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same pink-lit dance studio with the black floor, the same low handheld phone camera, framing, cuts, timing and dance moves. The ONLY change: the man on the left at the start is now the person in [Image 1], the woman on the right is now the person in [Image 2]. Use [Video 1] as the fixed duet dance performance, scene and camera reference. Replace only its two main performers using the portraits in [Image 1] and [Image 2]. Assign [Image 1] to the performer on the left in the first frame where both are visible, and [Image 2] to the performer on the right. Keep these identities assigned throughout turns, crossings, occlusions and position changes; never swap or blend them. Use each portrait for that person's facial identity, hairstyle and visible skin tone. Keep the reference performers' body movement, adapting head placement naturally to each pose. Follow [Video 1]'s action order, interactions, movement timing, expressions, framing, camera angles, camera movement, environment and lighting. Preserve the original sequence and ending rather than inventing a new routine or scene. Dancer 1 = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1]: face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, glasses or freckles. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 1]. NO black vest, no striped shirt and no black trousers unless [Image 1] shows them. Dancer 2 = the person in [Image 2], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 2]: face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, glasses or freckles. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 2]. NO pale pink slip dress and no white heeled boots unless [Image 2] shows them. The same real people in every frame, also in the close-ups, the wide shot and the turns. Never morph, never drift back to the original dancers' faces: no one from the video stays. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: 0-3 s: close side by side, dancer 2 leans on dancer 1's shoulder, both sway. 3-6.6 s: hip sways and shoulder turns to the camera. 6.6-7 s: a white flash, then a wide shot. 7-12 s: dancer 2 kicks out, arms up; dancer 1 steps behind and mirrors. 12-15 s: close on dancer 2, one arm high, dancer 1 behind. Close moves stay playful, as in the video: never a kiss, never a hand on the chest, hips or bottom. Keep two distinct people with coherent anatomy, natural balance and consistent contact and shadows. Maintain identity during profile views and when faces reappear after occlusion. One head per person, on its own shoulders. Exactly two people. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. Avoid merged faces, duplicated people, extra limbs, distorted hands, flicker and sliding feet. Do not add people, cuts, captions, text, logos or watermarks.

The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: 0-1 s: dancer 1 touches her hair. 1-4 s: both sway, dancer 1 slides her shirt off her shoulders. 4-6.5 s: both step and lean, dancer 2 lifts her knees. 6.5-9 s: dancer 1 leans forward, both sway their hips. 9-11 s: shoulder rolls, hands at the waist. 11-13 s: hair flips and half turns. Moves stay playful, as in the video. Clothes stay on: a shirt slides off the shoulders only over a top. Keep two distinct people with coherent anatomy, natural balance and consistent contact and shadows. Maintain identity during profile views and when faces reappear after occlusion. One head per person, on its own shoulders. Exactly two people. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same paved square in front of the tall glass office towers under a pale sky, the same low fixed phone camera, framing, timing and dance moves. The ONLY change: the dancer on the left is now the pet in [Image 1], and the dancer on the right is now the pet in [Image 2]. No people at all: two pets dance the duet. Use [Video 1] as the fixed duet dance performance, scene and camera reference. Replace only its two main performers using the photos in [Image 1] and [Image 2].

Follow [Video 1]'s action order, interactions, movement timing, framing, camera angles, camera movement, environment and lighting. Preserve the original sequence and ending rather than inventing a new routine or scene. Pet 1 = the pet in [Image 1], whole body, in EVERY frame: the same species and breed, head shape, muzzle, eyes, ears, fur colors, fur length, markings and body shape as in [Image 1], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything, so its owner instantly recognizes it. Pet 2 = the pet in [Image 2], whole body, in EVERY frame: the same species and breed, head shape, muzzle, eyes, ears, fur colors, fur length, markings and body shape as in [Image 2], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything. Both pets stand upright on their hind legs like the dancers the whole time and wear no clothes, no jeans and no shirts, only their own fur. Never a human body, human hands or human hair. Do not mix the two pets: [Image 1] is only pet 1, [Image 2] is only pet 2. Both change: no person from the video stays. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: 0-4 s: both sway side by side, pet 1 touches its head with a front paw. 4-6.5 s: both step and lean, pet 2 steps out with high knee lifts. 6.5-9 s: pet 1 leans forward, both sway their hips side by side. 9-11 s: both roll their shoulders, front paws at the waist. 11-13 s: head shakes and half turns until the end. Anatomy rules: one head and one tail per pet, two hind legs on the ground and two front legs, no extra legs or paws. Natural balance, believable steps, stable ground contact. Exactly two animals. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. No people, no text, no logos, no watermark.

What are the Trouble Maker dance moves, second by second?

This is the part of the trouble maker kpop dance that Couple copies, from the reel by @a_kim.i:

TimeWhat the two of you do
0 to 3 sSide by side in front of the camera, one leans in on the other's shoulder and both sway to the beat.
3 to 6.5 sBoth face the camera with hip sways and shoulder turns, close together.
6.5 to 12 sA wide shot of the duet: a kick out to the side, arms up, one dancer steps behind the other and mirrors the moves.
12 to 15 sThe camera comes close on one dancer with an arm raised high, the partner behind.

The stage original is close and teasing. Our versions keep it playful: shoulder to shoulder and back to back, with no kiss and no hands on the body. For a real trouble maker dance tutorial or dance practice, search the song's mirror and tutorial videos on YouTube and TikTok; this page makes the AI version from photos.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
The two faces swap or blendUse two sharp photos with one person each, faces to the camera, then run it again.
A black vest, a striped shirt or a pink slip dress shows up (Couple)The dancers in the reel wear them. The prompt bans them unless your photos have them; run it again.
An open black shirt or a crop top shows up (Friends)The same: the reel's outfits are banned unless your photos have them.
Someone from the reel stays in a wide shotRun it again. A sharp, full-body photo helps the model keep you in every shot.
A hand or a paw blurs in a fast moveThis is common in quick turns and hair flips. A second run comes out different.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

FAQ

Trouble Maker Dance trend questions

What is the Trouble Maker dance?
It is the duet routine of "Trouble Maker", the 2011 debut song of the K-pop duo Trouble Maker, HyunA and Hyunseung. Two dancers sway their hips, lean on each other's shoulders, face off and step side by side on the beat. Dance covers of it keep coming back on TikTok, from a 2.0 million view friends duo in November 2023 to a twins wave in June 2026.
Is the Trouble Maker dance trend new?
No. The song is from 2011, and the trouble maker trend comes in waves of trouble maker dance tiktok covers: big ones in late 2023 and early 2024, and a twins trend on a new sound in June 2026 that reached 1,329 videos by 3 November 2026. The new part is the Trouble Maker AI dance: since 2 November 2026 AI templates put two people's photos into the duet.
How do I make the Trouble Maker AI dance video with my photos?
Press "Create your own", pick Couple, Friends or Pet Duo, and add two photos: photo 1 for the dancer on the left, photo 2 for the one on the right. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a 15 second (Couple) or 13 second (Friends and Pet Duo) clip with the song. You write no prompt, and the video waits in My videos when it is ready.
Can I do the Trouble Maker dance challenge with my friend?
Yes, with Friends. Add your photo and your friend's. The AI puts the two of you into the 2026 twins cover of the trouble maker dance challenge, in your own clothes, with the same moves and the same camera. Use a friend's photo only with their OK.
Can two men or two women do the Couple version?
Yes. The reel has a man and a woman, but each of you keeps your own face, hair, clothes and gender from your photo. Only the moves and the camera come from the reel.
Can my pets do the Trouble Maker dance?
Yes, with Pet Duo. Add one sharp photo of each pet, whole body in view. The AI puts both pets into the friends cover, standing upright on their hind legs and doing the same sways and turns, each with its own fur and markings.
Is the video a copy of HyunA and Hyunseung's stage?
No. No version copies the singers' own stage or music video, and no one gets their faces. Couple copies a creator's trouble maker dance cover, and Friends and Pet Duo copy another creator's cover. The close moves stay playful: no kiss and no hands on the body.
What prompt does the Trouble Maker AI trend use?
No creator of the trend shared a prompt. AI template sites use a built-in prompt that tells the model to keep the reference video's performance, scene and camera and replace only the two performers with the two portraits, never swapping or blending them. Our versions use that prompt with the song's name taken out, plus our tested face, clothes and anatomy rules. You write no prompt yourself.
What sound does my video have?
The song of the reel it copies, put back on after the run. You can turn it off on the result screen. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it.
How long is the video and what format is it?
Couple makes 15 seconds, Friends and Pet Duo 13 seconds, all vertical 9:16 MP4 files at 720p with the song and no watermark, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. It can take several minutes.
Is the dance in the video real?
No. A Trouble Maker AI video is made from still photos, and you, your partner or your pets never did these moves. Use only your own photo, a photo of an adult who agreed, or your own pets, and keep the AI label on when you post.
Is it Trouble Maker or Troublemaker?
Both. The song and the duo are written Trouble Maker, but many posts write it as one word: a troublemaker dance cover, the troublemaker dance challenge, a troublemaker dance kpop video and the troublemaker hyuna dance all mean this same duet. Other songs called Troublemaker have their own line dances; this page is about the K-pop duet.
Is there a Trouble Maker AI dance video generator app?
This page is one: a trouble maker ai dance video generator that works in the browser on your phone or computer. Add two photos and get the trouble maker ai video with the song, with no prompt to write.
