Fortnite Default Dance
Upload one photo and MoveMyPhoto makes a 8-second video of that person doing the Default Dance. 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 Default Dance is the emote every Fortnite Battle Royale player has had since the game launched in 2017: a loose bounce with alternating arm pumps and knee lifts. It matches the dance Donald Faison improvised as Turk in a 2006 Scrubs episode.

Where does the Fortnite Default Dance come from?
It matches the dance Donald Faison made up on the spot as Turk in the Scrubs episode “My Half-Acre” (2006), set to Bell Biv DeVoe’s “Poison”. Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence says he agreed when someone asked to use it.
When did the Default Dance come out?
With Fortnite Battle Royale in September 2017. Every player starts with it, which is why it is the best-known Fortnite dance.
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.
