How it differs from the three kittens cat dance
Several upright cat dances are going around. Three kittens swaying their hips on a beach at night is the Suave Cat Dance.

How the AI cat dance works
The AI version swaps the dancer for whoever is in your photo. The moves stay the same. Cats and dogs use the pet version and dance in the sunny living room. Adults use the person version, which is set on the beach when you leave it empty.
Upload two photos and two dancers stand side by side, with the first photo on the left. Only the 15 second cut reaches the turn. The 5 and 10 second cuts stop before it.
