How to Put Yourself in the Gas Station Dance Video With AI
Upload one photo and AI puts your face and outfit into the dance, the selfie and the car exit. How it works, which photo to use, and how it compares with doing it yourself in Kling.
To put yourself in the gas station dance video, upload one clear photo of yourself to Gas Station Dance AI in Just me mode. AI rebuilds all three shots of the trend, the dance, the selfie and the car exit, with your face, hair and outfit, and keeps the original moves, timing and song. You get a vertical 720p MP4 of about 15 seconds in about 5 to 10 minutes, for $8.90. You do not need the original clip, a dance video of yourself or any editing.

The quickest way: one photo
- Pick Just me. You play the dancer, the selfie and the car exit.
- Add one photo. A full-body, front-facing photo in even light works best, because it has to carry all three shots.
- Sign in and generate. Each video uses 100 credits; the $8.90 starter pack covers one.
- Download the MP4. The song is already in it, so you can post it as it is.
The full walkthrough, with every screen, is in how to make a gas station dance AI video.
What becomes you, and what stays the same
| Part of the video | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Dance moves, camera, cuts and timing | The original clip, unchanged |
| Song, "On & On (Stay With Me)" by Akcent | The original clip, unchanged |
| Your face and hair | Your photo |
| Your outfit | Your photo; anything it does not show is filled in by AI |
That is why the photo matters more than anything else. A face-only selfie still works, but AI has to invent your clothes and body for the dance and the car exit. A full-body photo keeps your real outfit in every shot. See which photos work best for good and bad examples.
Put yourself in with two friends
The original clip has three people, so you can also take one role and give the others to friends. Pick Me + 2 friends and upload three photos in order: dancer, selfie, car exit. You can take any of the three slots. A trio costs the same 100 credits as a solo video. Who should play which role helps you cast it.
Doing it yourself in Kling
General AI video tools can also put you into a dance. Kling describes two ways:
- Motion Control. Upload a photo of yourself and a dance reference video of 3 to 30 seconds. Kling recommends one visible dancer, limited cuts and a starting pose close to your photo.
- Dancer replacement. Upload an existing dance clip to Kling VIDEO 3.0 Omni with a reference image of yourself, and tell it which dancer to replace.
For this trend, that means more work. The gas station dance is three different shots, and only the first is a dance. You need a clip for each shot, one generation per shot, an editor to cut them together, and the song added at the end. Each generation uses Kling credits, and retries add up.
| Gas Station Dance AI | Kling, done yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| What you upload | 1 or 3 photos | A photo plus a reference clip for each shot |
| Shots | All three, already cut together | One per generation, cut by you |
| Song | Included | Added by you |
| Upfront price for one video | $8.90 | Kling credits per clip, see its pricing |
| Best for | The exact trend, ready to post | A different dance, place or length |
If you want your own choreography or a longer music video, the do-it-yourself route gives you more control. If you want the gas station dance as everyone knows it, the one-photo route is faster and cheaper.
Before you upload
- Use your own photo, or a photo of an adult who agreed. No celebrities and no minors.
- Your photos are not kept for long. We normally delete our copy of uploaded photos after about 7 days. AI providers have separate retention rules; see the Privacy Policy.
- A failed video costs nothing. If a photo is rejected or a video fails, your credits go back to your balance automatically.
FAQ
Can I put myself in the gas station dance with just one photo? Yes. In Just me mode, one photo puts you in all three shots: the dance, the selfie and the car exit.
Can I use a selfie? Yes, but a selfie only shows your face, so AI fills in your outfit and body. Use a full-body photo if you want to wear your own clothes in the video.
Do I need the original gas station dance video? No. The generator already has the three shots. You only upload your photo.
Will the dance look the same as the original? Yes. The moves, camera, cuts and song come from the original clip. Only the people change.
How much does it cost? $8.90 for one 720p video with the song included, paid once with no subscription. Is there a free option? See whether a free gas station dance AI generator exists.
