What is the APT dance?

The APT dance is a two-person routine set to the chorus of APT. by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. It turns the rhythm of apateu, a Korean drinking game, into simple hand moves. Two people stand side by side facing the camera and stack their hands on the beat, then add hip sways, shoulder bounces and head nods. The reference clips range from hallway and street covers to studio sets styled like the music video. This template puts the people in one or two of your photos into the routine you choose and keeps the original song.

      Where did the APT dance come from?

      The best-known version comes from dancer Felix Bringas, who posted the routine on TikTok on October 22, 2024, four days after the song came out. The song itself started with a game. During the recording sessions, ROSÉ taught Bruno Mars apateu, a Korean party game in which players chant “apateu, apateu” while stacking their hands and calling out a floor number. That chant became the song’s hook. Bringas’s choreography copies the hand-stacking motion, which is why it fits the chorus so well. It spread quickly on TikTok and Instagram Reels and became the version most people learn.

          Why is the APT dance so popular?

          The hook is simple and repetitive, the moves are easy for two people to learn together, and the song had two huge stars behind it.

          • The repeated four-beat chant sticks in your head and is easy to dance to.
          • The main moves are upper-body hand-stacking, so non-dancers can join in.
          • It is made for two, so couples, friends and siblings do it together.
          • Bright styling and head nods make every version recognizable.
          • Celebrities and K-pop idols posting their own versions kept it going.

            What song is used in the APT dance?

            The song is APT. by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, released on October 18, 2024, as the lead single from ROSÉ’s first studio album, through Atlantic Records and The Black Label. It mixes pop-punk and retro pop with the chant from the Korean party game. Many listeners and critics compared its cheerleader-style hook to Toni Basil’s 1982 hit Mickey. The song charted strongly around the world.

                  How to make an APT dance video with your photos

                  Upload two photos for two different people, or one photo to put the same face in both roles. In wide shots, Photo 1 plays the singer on the right and Photo 2 the drummer on the left. Then generate from the clip you chose; its sound is kept.

                    1. Pick a reference clip: a hallway routine, a street cover or a studio set.
                    2. Upload one or two clear, front-facing photos of people. One photo is used for both dancers; two photos give each dancer their own face.
                    3. Tap Make my video. Your dancers follow the clip’s moves, with the original song.

                    What photos work best for the APT dance?

                    A few simple choices help the faces stay clear while the dancers move.

                    • Use front-facing photos taken at eye level.
                    • Choose even light without heavy shadows or strong backlight.
                    • Keep hair and bulky accessories away from the face.
                    • A smile or a playful expression suits the song.
                    • Upload the original, sharp photo rather than a screenshot.

                      Can I make the APT dance video with just one photo?

                      Yes. With one photo, the same face appears on both dancers. Upload a second photo if you want two different people.

                      Do I need to know how to dance to make this video?

                      No. The routine comes from the reference clip; you only upload photos.

                      Does the generated video include the original APT music?

                      Yes. Your video keeps the original sound of the clip you choose, including the “apateu” chant.

                      Whose photos can I use?

                      Use photos of yourself, or of friends and family who are happy to be in the video. The template needs clear, front-facing faces of people.

                      Can I do the APT dance with a friend who is not with me?

                      Yes. Upload your photo and your friend’s photo separately, and you appear dancing side by side in the clip.

                      Can I create the video using photos of pets?

                      No. This template is designed for people, so use photos of human faces.

                      What kind of photo works best?

                      A clear portrait with the head and shoulders centered and nothing covering the face. Crop out other people so each photo shows only one person.

                      Which dancer will my first photo replace?

                      In wide shots, Photo 1 is the singer on the right and Photo 2 the drummer on the left. Check the preview before uploading so each person lands where you want.

                      Is the APT dance AI video generator free?
