Generate at 9:16 from the start — cropping a landscape dance clip cuts off the moves. Post your own track over it if the generated beat is off.
Platform notes
The phone-footage look has to be asked for explicitly ('smartphone footage style', 'ring light', 'slightly shaky handheld') — without those words Seedance defaults to a polished cinematic camera and the UGC believability is gone.
Choreography is written as counts ('hair flip on count 2') because Seedance times movement to its generated beat better with numbered anchors than with 'and then she…'.
Enhance: keep ONE performer. Duets and group dances are still where faces swap mid-clip. Change the counts to match your own track's drop before you generate.

Vertical 9:16, smartphone footage style: a young creator in a bright bedroom performs a sharp four-count dance hook to an upbeat pop beat — step-touch on count 1, hair flip on count 2, spin on count 3, point at the camera with a grin on count 4. Ring-light catchlights in her eyes, casual oversized hoodie, posters on the wall behind her, slightly shaky handheld phone look. Music and movement locked to the beat, energetic native social-video feel.
