About this effect
“STORM” is a double single by GENER8ION, the alias of French producer Surkin, starring Swedish rapper Yung Lean. It was released on April 24, 2026, as the lead single from the album Love & Tears, together with a musical short film directed by Romain Gavras and choreographed by Damien Jalet. The film is set in an all-boys British boarding school, class of 2034: part one is pure chaos, and part two turns into a euphoric, perfectly synchronized mass dance.
That final dance made “STORM” one of the most talked-about music videos of the year. It earned four nominations at the 2026 MTV VMAs, including Video of the Year and Best Choreography, and Yung Lean and GENER8ION recreated the scene live on the VMA stage on September 27, 2026. Around the same time, AI versions took over TikTok and Instagram, with creators swapping themselves into the lead spot while keeping the choreography.
With the Storm dance AI generator, you do not need a school hall full of dancers or any editing skills to join in. Upload a photo for the lead, and if you like one for the crowd and one of something to hold, and the AI rebuilds the full 30-second dance around them, synced to the original track and ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Tips
The first photo takes the lead spot and the crowd photo is copied across everyone else, so each photo should show just one person or pet, facing the camera.
The Storm choreography is all shoulders, arms, and stomps. A head-to-toe photo gives the AI the most to work with.
A friend, your dog, or a character in a different outfit makes the lead stand out. Use your own photo again for an army of yourself, or skip it to dance in front of the original crowd.
When you post, use the original “STORM” sound so your video lands in the trend feed, and tag it as AI-generated. Want to know why some trends explode and others fizzle? Read what makes a dance trend go viral.

Only one: the photo of the lead dancer, who replaces the dancer in the center. Add a crowd photo and everyone around them becomes copies of that person or pet; leave it out and the original crowd stays. Add a photo of a drink, a phone or any prop and the lead holds it through the whole dance.
Only use photos of yourself and people who are happy to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities or anyone who has not agreed to it.
