Traditional Selendang Dance Performed in 16 Steps
An image-to-video prompt that uses one reference image as a motion and choreography guide and a second as the dancer's identity reference. It produces a graceful traditional dance following 16 illustrated steps, filmed in a clean full-body frontal frame with subtle circular camera drift during turns. Soft studio lighting and a calm, respectful atmosphere keep the selendang fabric and the dancer's hands, feet, and expression visible throughout.
Prompt (original, unmodified)
Use the first reference image as the exact choreography and motion-process guide. Use the second reference image as the identity reference for the adult woman dancer. Create a graceful traditional dance performance that follows all 16 illustrated steps in order, from the confident opening pose to the respectful closing pose. The dancer performs with poised posture, soft knee bends, precise cross steps, elegant wrist waves, curved fingers, shoulder accents, hip sways, flowing turns, and expressive selendang sweeps. Keep the camera in a clean full-body cinematic frame, mostly front-facing, with slow controlled movement that supports the dance instead of distracting from it. During the left and right turns, allow a subtle circular camera drift, then return to a centered frontal composition. The dancer’s hands, feet, facial expression, and selendang fabric must remain visible throughout. Use soft studio lighting, refined contrast, and a calm traditional performance atmosphere. The motion should feel smooth, rhythmic, respectful, and feminine, with the selendang floating naturally as the dancer glides forward and backward. End on a still closing pose with hands at the heart, peaceful smile, and elegant silence.
