Toc Toc dance prompt for Seedance: a copyable prompt without names
Updated:
Short answer
Copy the prompt below into Seedance and attach your photo as the reference image. It is written as a short timeline with a sound line. It names no person, brand or account, because tools filter them. Tweak the first line to your plan’s length, or use MimicZip.

Copy this prompt
Create an 11-second vertical clip using the reference image, filmed on a phone on a tripod at chest height, one continuous take with a locked camera. Image 1 is the DANCER: preserve their face, skin tone, hair, body shape and clothing. If the subject is an animal, keep its species and let it stand upright on its hind legs and dance with its front paws; if it is a toy or a drawn character, bring it to life and keep its look. Scene: a bare, empty room with light grey walls and a warm wooden floor, a white door frame at the left edge and a small white chest of drawers against the right wall, soft even daylight. No logos or readable text. Timeline: 0-2s facing the camera, the DANCER hops on the right leg with the left knee lifted to hip height, knocking twice with the right fist on an invisible door at head height, turning to the right side. 2-3.5s turns back to the front, kicks the right heel forward low and flings both arms wide and down. 3.5-5s turns to the left side, hopping on the right foot and pumping the left knee with small kicks. 5-7.5s turns the back to the camera, keeps hopping and knocking at head level, whips the head over the shoulder to glare at the camera, knocks again side-on. 7.5-10s turns to the front, lands in a wide stance and hops from foot to foot kicking the heels forward, arms wide and low. 10-11s freezes in a wide stance, both arms stretched down and out with open palms, staring into the lens without a smile. The DANCER keeps a completely serious, deadpan face and never stands still until the freeze. Sound: a bouncy accordion-and-synth party instrumental at about 124 BPM with a steady four-on-the-floor kick, a light knock-knock sound on each knock, no singing. Realistic motion, no captions, no logos, no watermark.
How to use it
- Attach your photo as Image 1, and name it Image 1 if your tool asks for tags.
- Keep the timeline as it is if you plan to add the original sound later, because the timings follow the original clip.
- Do not put a name, a brand or an account in the timeline. Those tend to be filtered, so the timeline shows the action only.
- Plans and limits differ by tool and change often, so set the first line to the length and shape your plan allows.
Questions people ask
Which model does this site itself use?
The videos here are generated with Seedance 2.0 Mini through an API. The page is independent, though, and not affiliated with ByteDance or the people who posted the clips.
Will the result match the trend exactly?
Not exactly. Each tool and model version reads the timeline in its own way, and your photo changes the face and the movement. Treat the prompt as a starting point.
Do I need a prompt to use this site?
No. MimicZip runs a fixed scene, so you add one photo and press the make button.
