HOT TO GO! Dance
Upload one photo and MoveMyPhoto makes a 9-second video of that person doing the HOT TO GO! dance to “HOT TO GO!” by Chappell Roan. Your face, outfit and background stay yours.
This dance moves the legs: a full-body photo looks best, and we draw the legs in if they’re missing.
The HOT TO GO! dance is Chappell Roan’s chorus routine for her 2023 song: you spell H-O-T-T-O-G-O with your arms, YMCA-style. She teaches it to the crowd every time she performs the song, and festival crowds doing it together went viral.

How to do the HOT TO GO! dance
- Bounce on the beat through the verse.
- On the chorus, spell H-O-T-T-O-G-O with your arms, one letter per beat.
- For each O, curve both arms into a circle over your head.
- For each T, stretch your arms straight out to the sides. Leave room for your neighbors.
- Pop your hip on “you can take me hot to go!” and bounce into the next chorus.
Questions
Something else? Write to us
Who made up the HOT TO GO! dance?
Chappell Roan, to promote the song. She wrote it to live out her childhood dream of being a cheerleader, and the arm-spelling copies cheer chants.
Is HOT TO GO! like YMCA?
Yes. Both spell letters with your arms on the chorus. Roan teaches the moves at every show, so whole crowds dance it together.
Is MoveMyPhoto free?
Yes. You can make 1 video a day without signing up, and 3 a day after you sign in. Free videos have a MoveMyPhoto watermark. Failed or blocked videos don’t count.
What photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo of one adult with the whole body in frame looks most like you. Selfies, half-body photos, stickers, drawings and even a scene with no one in it work too: we draw the missing body or a person into the scene first, which adds about a minute.
How long does a video take?
Usually about 10 minutes; it can take longer when many people are making videos. You don’t have to wait on the page: your video is saved in My videos.
