Rasputin Dance
Upload one photo and MoveMyPhoto makes a 9-second video of that person doing the Rasputin dance to “Rasputin” by Boney M.. 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 Rasputin dance is the TikTok trend to Boney M.’s 1978 disco hit “Rasputin”, built on Cossack-style squats and kicks. The routine comes from the game Just Dance 2 and went viral in 2021.

Where does the Rasputin TikTok dance come from?
From the 2010 video game Just Dance 2. That routine trended on TikTok in 2021 and sent the 1978 song back onto the charts.
What dance is in the Rasputin lyrics?
The kazachok (spelled “kasatschok” in the song), a Ukrainian Cossack folk dance known for its squat kicks.
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.
