Make a dance video with friends from one selfie each

Ask each friend for one clear, front-facing selfie and their OK to use it. Pick a group dance from your Photos with up to 4 dancers, trim it to 5 to 30 seconds, add your selfie, then tap Add someone for each friend. Set who dances where, start the video, and about 2 minutes later the four of you are doing the routine with the original song. Nobody has to learn the moves or be in the same city. A subscription is needed to start, and a group costs the same Stars as a solo.

iPhone and Android. For ages 13 and up. Subscription needed to start. Updated October 6, 2026.

Why BeMainStar: The group dance you will never rehearse, made from photos you can collect in one chat.

BeMainStar 'Who's in it?' screen: a dancer on stage, your selfie in the cast row and an Add someone button.
Who's in it: add a friend's photo next to yours.

Before you start: collect the selfies

  • Ask first. Send the clip and ask who wants in. The app asks you to confirm each friend's permission anyway.
  • Face forward, good light, no sunglasses. A selfie taken at a window works better than a dark party photo.
  • One person per photo. Crop out anyone else.

Making it

  1. Pick the group dance in Photos and trim it.
  2. Your selfie fills the first spot. Tap Add someone for each friend's photo.
  3. Set how many dancers to swap and who goes where, counting from the left.
  4. Check the Star cost on the start sheet and tap Start.
  5. Drop the result in the group chat. It saves without a watermark.

Good clips for a friend group

Choreography where everyone stays in a line or a small formation, a wedding first dance with the bridal party, a music video chorus, a sports team celebration. If someone in the original drops out of frame for long, pick another clip.

Price, plainly

A subscription is needed to start: Weekly is $4.99 with 5 Stars each week, Yearly is $89.99 with 8 Stars each month. 1 Star is 1 second of video, and Star packs of 5, 12 or 25 Stars top you up. Prices vary by country. If a video fails, your Stars come back.

For how group swaps are counted, see face swap a video with more than one person.

How many friends can be in one dance?

Up to 3 friends, so 4 people with you.
