Tiptoeing in My Jordans AI Prompt: Copy It for Seedance and Other Video Models
A copy-ready prompt to recast the Rumpelstiltskin tiptoe dance with your photo in Seedance 2.0, 2.5 or any model that takes a reference video.
Published 2026-10-19 · Updated 2026-10-19
The short answer
To recast the tiptoe dance yourself, give a reference-video model three things: the first 12 seconds of the original clip as reference video 1, your photo as reference image 1, and a prompt that says to re-shoot the clip shot for shot and replace the small dancing figure entirely with the person in the image while keeping every move. The prompt below is the one this page uses; paste it as is and add the song afterwards.

Before you paste the prompt
Use a model that accepts a reference video and a reference image in the same request, such as Seedance 2.0 or 2.5. Upload the clip first and the photo second so "reference video 1" and "reference image 1" point to the right files.
Tiptoeing in My Jordans AI prompt
Recreate reference video 1 shot for shot as a new vertical 9:16 clip: the same cuts, order and timing, the same hay barn, the same warm 1980s fantasy-film look with soft grain, every shot reframed vertically around the dancer. The small dancer (curly light hair, black sparkly tailcoat, bow tie) is replaced entirely by the person in reference image 1: their face, hair, body and exactly the clothes and shoes they wear in reference image 1. Keep the dancer's exact performance: the finger to the lips in the close-up, the arms-out tiptoe dance across the straw, the close-ups of the feet tiptoeing and the sly grin into the camera, on the beat. The young blond woman keeps her place, her close-ups and her shocked reaction with a hand over her mouth, but has a new, different face. No text, no captions, no watermark.
If the result is off
Each render is new, so results vary. These fixes help most often.
- The wrong person was replaced: describe the dancer by the original outfit (black sparkly tailcoat, bow tie) and keep the woman's lines as they are.
- The moves drifted: keep the prompt short; every extra instruction weakens how closely the model follows the reference.
- The face is not yours: use a sharper, front-facing photo without sunglasses.
- No sound: most models do not keep the reference audio; add the song back in an editor.
Questions
Does the prompt work in Seedance 2.0 Mini?+
Yes, it is what this page uses: 12 seconds, 720p, with the clip and the photo as references.
Can I make it horizontal like the original?+
Yes: change "vertical 9:16" to "horizontal 16:9" and ask the model for 16:9. Vertical fits TikTok and Reels without black bars.
