Quick answer
Open Raindance AI on Reelfie, add one photo of you (or one each for two people) and press make. You get an 8-second clip of you dancing through a downpour on a neon-lit street at night, for 80 credits. It’s a rain-dance scene, not a remake of the music video.
Raindance is a song by Dave featuring Tems. On TikTok it grew into a dance challenge set to the song’s bridge, and then into an AI trend where people drop themselves, friends or characters into the music video’s pier scene, often as a parody.
Raindance AI takes the mood rather than the scene: you, soaked, spinning on an empty city street while neon breaks up in the puddles. It suits the song, it suits a slow edit, and you stay dry. Here is which version is which, the photo that works, the steps and how to post it.
Three things called the Raindance trend
The dance challenge
Real people dancing to the bridge, filmed on a phone. The tutorials posted under the sound teach it.
Needs: you and some floor
The pier parody
Two people or characters recast in the music video’s pier scene. That one takes a general AI video tool and a prompt.
Needs: a prompt and retries
The neon rain dance
You dancing in heavy rain under neon signs, an 8-second clip from a photo. This is what Reelfie makes.
Needs: one photo
What happens in the clip
- 1Night on an empty city street, rain coming down hard, neon signs glowing along it.
- 2You throw your arms wide and spin.
- 3Your feet hit the puddles and the reflected neon shatters with each splash.
- 4Rain streaks cut through the light as the dance carries on.
It’s vertical 9:16 by default, the shape TikTok and Reels fill. The maker also offers a wide 16:9 version for YouTube or a desktop feed.
Solo, or with someone
Solo takes one photo. Choose the couple option and you add a second photo, one person in each, to dance in the rain together. Whoever you add has to be an adult who is happy to be in it.
- Get your outfit in the frame. The dance moves your clothes, and a photo that shows them gives the clip more to keep.
- Keep the face sharp and clear of hair: it has to stay yours once it’s meant to be dripping.
- One person per photo, even for the pair version.
- Skip dark, grainy night shots. The scene supplies the night; your photo should supply the detail.
A full-body photo isn’t required, but it helps here more than in most trends, because the whole of you is moving. More in which photos work best with AI.
Step by step on Reelfie
- 1Open Raindance AI on Reelfie and choose solo, or the couple option if someone is dancing with you.
- 2Add one clear photo of you, plus one of your partner or friend for the pair version.
- 3Leave it vertical for TikTok and Reels, or switch to wide for YouTube. The button shows 80 credits for an 8-second clip before anything runs.
- 4Press make. It takes a few minutes, you can leave the page, and a run that fails refunds itself.
- 5Save the MP4 from Assets and post it. The clip has its own sound; to be listed with the other Raindance posts, pick the song in the app as you post and turn the clip’s audio down.
Posting it so it reads as the trend
- Use the song. Choosing it as you post lists your clip under the sound, next to the dances.
- Set the spin as the cover frame: that’s where the splash and the neon peak.
- Caption a feeling, not the picture. The rain is already on screen.
Tag it #raindance and turn on TikTok’s AI-generated label when it asks. For upload settings that keep the rain crisp, see how to post an AI video to TikTok.

Common problems
My face blurs during the spin
Use a sharper, front-on photo where the face is larger in the frame. Fast turns pull a soft face out of shape first.
It looks too dark on my phone
It’s a night scene, so turn your screen brightness up before judging it. Once posted, viewers see it at their own brightness.
I wanted the music video’s pier scene
The template makes the neon street, not the pier. The pier prompt gets you there in a general tool.
