Quick answer
Upload one clear photo of yourself to Starrd's Stateside template. You do the Stateside dance to PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson's "Stateside" inside a red shop-window set: red velvet curtains, a giant heart-shaped box with a white polka-dot ribbon, big red lips, golden keys, a red-and-white checkered floor and a blue storefront with an old street lamp. There is a close-up where you sing to the camera. You wear your own clothes, or a director's note changes the outfit. About 14 seconds, landscape 16:9, with the song, 150 credits.

What Is the Stateside Dance?
"Stateside" is a song by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson. The trend is a short dance to it, filmed in a bright, styled set.
This template puts you in a red shop window. Red velvet curtains, a giant heart-shaped box, big red lips, golden keys. You dance, then the camera comes in close and you sing to it.

Build It Yourself
1. Build the set first. Make an opening frame of you in the red shop window: curtains, heart-shaped box, red lips, checkered floor. Video models copy the first frame closely, so get the set right here.
2. Copy the moves from a clip. Text prompts can't describe a dance step by step. A real clip has to drive the motion.
3. Plan the close-up. Decide where the camera moves in for the singing shot, and keep the set the same before and after.
Common Mistakes
A face-only selfie. The video shows you dancing, so a cropped photo leaves the model guessing your body and clothes.
Looking away. Face the camera in your photo. Side angles make the face drift.
Two people in one photo. It's built for one dancer. Crop to the one you want.
