Shake Disco — a spin across the loft floor.
Shake Disco is a groove dance with arm raises, wide steps and a spin. The sample opens on a woman with shoulder-length brown hair in a loose black off-shoulder crop top, grey joggers and trainers. She stands on a wooden floor in a large room with red brick walls and tall arched windows, with city buildings and trees outside in bright sun.
The sample
What happens in the Shake Disco sample.
She starts with one hand near her shoulder and the other at her side. Then she throws one arm straight up and rests the other on her hip. A relaxed stance with hands at her waist follows, and after that she steps her feet wide apart with one arm high again. She draws her feet together, clasps her hands at her waist, and then turns away so her hair swings out behind her. In the final frame she faces the camera with feet wide, knees bent and both hands raised near her head.
The loft, the long shadows on the floor and her outfit do not change, and the camera holds one steady full-length view. Only her body and hair move. Despite the name, the sample shows a sunlit room rather than a club with coloured lights. It opens on a front-facing, full-body view of one person with space on both sides, so a similar photo is the safe start.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Keep your feet in shot
The wide steps and bent-knee finish need legs in view, and the sample opens full length. A head-to-feet photo follows that.
Clear floor around you
She has open floor on every side in the sample. A photo with room around the body is close to that start.
Just one person
The sample shows a single dancer throughout, so a photo of one person matches it.

Shake Disco, answered.
What does the Shake Disco effect do?
A woman in a black off-shoulder crop top and grey joggers dances in a sunny brick loft with arched windows, raising her arms, stepping wide and spinning with her hair flying.
Does Shake Disco put me in a nightclub?
No, going by the sample. The woman dances in the same room she starts in, a bright loft with brick walls, arched windows and a wooden floor. Her black top and grey joggers stay the same too. The effect adds the dance: a raised arm, wide steps, a spin that sends her hair flying and a bent-knee finish. Upload a single photo to use it.
