Shake Craze — hands, hips and flying hair.
Shake Craze is a quick dance that builds from hand moves to full head shakes. The sample opens on a woman with long dark wavy hair in a black cropped tank top, olive cargo trousers and white trainers. She stands on a stone path in a park, with pine trees, bright grass and the sun low through the branches.
The sample
What happens in the Shake Craze sample.
In the opening frame she holds both hands together in front of her chest. She then lifts one knee and raises both hands beside her face, fingers spread. Her arms cross in front of her body next, and after that she presses her palms together at chin height. From the middle of the clip she widens her stance and shakes her head hard enough that her hair and face blur. The last frame shows her standing tall with a hand at her shoulder and one hip pushed out.
The park, the path and her outfit stay the same from start to finish, and the camera holds one full-body view without moving. The blur on her hair in the later frames shows how fast the shaking gets. The sample begins with a single person standing square to the camera, head to feet in view, so a full-length photo in open space is the closest match.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Feet included
Her wide stance and lifted knee are central to the sample, and it opens with her feet in view. A head-to-feet photo matches that.
One dancer only
The sample follows a single woman from start to end. A photo of one person keeps close to what it shows.
Open space around you
She dances in open parkland with room on both sides. A photo with space around the body looks like that opening shot.
