Quick answer
Paste the neon street prompt into an image-to-video tool with one photo of you for the rain dance. For two dancers, start from one picture of both and swap in the pair line. For a parody of the music video’s pier scene, use the pier prompt. Or add a photo to Raindance AI and skip prompting.
Most Raindance AI prompts shared online do one of two jobs: put someone in the rain, or put two people into the music video’s pier scene. Both are here, with the lines that make or break them. They’re for general video tools; our template runs its own.
The neon rain dance
Vertical 9:16 video, 8 seconds. Night, heavy rain, an empty city street lined with pink and blue neon signs. The person in the photo dances freely in the downpour: arms thrown wide, a full spin, feet splashing through puddles. Hair and clothes soaked, water running off them. Neon reflects on the wet asphalt and rain streaks through the light. Slow-motion feel, low camera angle. Keep the face exactly as in the photo. No text.
- “Night… neon signs”: the light on the rain is the whole look. Daytime rain just looks grey.
- “Arms thrown wide, a full spin, feet splashing”: three moves give the model a dance, not a stroll.
- “Hair and clothes soaked”: dry clothes in a downpour is the first thing viewers notice.
- “Slow-motion feel, low camera angle”: makes the splashes and reflections bigger.
- “Keep the face exactly”: water and motion both drag faces out of shape.
Two people in the rain
Start from one picture of both dancers (joined in a collage app, or by asking Gemini or ChatGPT to place them side by side), then replace the dance sentence with:
The two people dance together in the downpour: one twirls the other under a raised arm, both laughing, soaked, splashing through the same puddle.
The pier-scene parody
The AI wave of the trend recasts the music video’s pier scene, where Tems sings to Dave, with two new people or characters. A general prompt gets the shape of it; match the setting to the original by eye.
Vertical 9:16 video, 8 seconds. Night, a long wooden pier over dark water. The first person in the picture stands facing the second and sings to them with feeling, lips moving, one hand reaching out. The second listens, then breaks into a smile. Cinematic, shallow focus, slow push-in. Keep both faces exactly as in the picture. No text.
For the parody versions, cast whoever makes the joke land: a friend, a pet, a cartoon. Use photos of real people only with their OK.
Small changes worth trying
Umbrella toss
Start sheltered, then give up on staying dry.
they start under a black umbrella, then toss it aside and dance
Rooftop
The skyline instead of a street.

Gentler move
For tools that warp on fast turns.
a slow half-turn with arms raised, face toward the camera
Which tool, and the shortcut
Any image-to-video tool that takes a prompt will try these. Rain and fast spins are hard for video models, so run each prompt two or three times and keep the best. Gemini or ChatGPT can shorten a prompt for a tool with a word limit.
For the neon street without any of that, Raindance AI needs one photo (two for a pair) and shows 80 credits on the button before it runs.
Common problems
The rain doesn’t touch them
Add “soaked hair and clothes, water running off them” and drop “cinematic”, which some tools read as dry studio light.
The face is lost in the dark
Give the face its own light: “lit by a pink neon sign on the left”.
Nobody sings in the pier scene
Name the mouth: “lips moving as they sing”, and keep the second person still so the model has one job.
FAQ
What is the prompt for the Raindance AI trend?
For the rain dance: night, heavy rain, a neon-lit street, and you dancing with arms wide, spinning and splashing, soaked. For the parody: two people on a pier at night, one singing to the other. Both are above.
Can I make the pier scene on Reelfie?
No. Raindance AI makes the neon rain dance. The pier parody needs a general tool and the pier prompt.
Is this the prompt Reelfie uses?
No. The template’s prompt is tuned for its own model. These are written for general video tools.
Can I make it free?
Within a tool’s free allowance, with a watermark. Raindance for free compares every free route.
