To make the gas station dance AI video, open the ready gas station trend on vswp, add a photo for each of the three dancers (you and two friends, or fewer), and start the video. Litvin, Ravshan and Adel are already found in the clip, so there's nothing to film or upload. You can try a free preview first, and the finished MP4 keeps the original song.
What is the gas station dance trend?
The original is a video the Russian blogger Mikhail Litvin, his friend Ravshan and the model Adel filmed themselves in the summer of 2024. On a drive from St. Petersburg to Moscow, they pull over before dawn, around 4 a.m., and start dancing next to the cars, with no choreography at all. In Russian the clip also goes by "Delai!" ("Do it!"), after the shout of encouragement it spread with, which is why many people know it by that word. In Italy the trend is known as the "ballo al distributore", in Brazil as the "dança no posto" and in Portugal as the "dança na bomba de gasolina".
The music is "On & On (Stay with Me)" by Akcent. In September 2026 the clip turned into an AI template: people put themselves, friends, coworkers and parents into the three dancers' places. It started on Russian-language social media and was soon picked up elsewhere as the "gas station dance".
The joke works best with an unexpected company. Three people who would never dance at a gas station together are exactly the point.
How do you make your own version?
- Get three photos. One of you and one of each friend, one person per photo. Ask your friends before you use their photos.
- Open the trend. Go to the gas station trend page. The clip is about 30 seconds, and all three dancers are already found.
- Sign in with Telegram. There's no password to create.
- Add the photos. Put one photo on each dancer. Anyone without a photo stays as in the original.
- Choose the look. With "Keep the original look" on, the outfits stay as in the video and only faces and hair change. With it off, the clothes come from your photos.
- Check the price and start. Try the free preview first, or go straight to the full video.
- Download the MP4. It keeps the original sound and is usually ready in minutes. On a phone you can share it straight to Telegram or stories.

Which dancer should each friend take?
Watch the clip once and match roles to personalities. Each of the three dances in their own way, and some moves are much bolder than others. Give the loudest friend the wildest part.
Look at height and build too. A tall friend in place of the shortest dancer can look a little off, so if you can, match people who are roughly similar in size.
Can you do it with just one or two people?
Yes. Add photos only for the dancers you want to replace, and the rest stay as in the original. Dancing next to Litvin himself, or a duo where one of the original three stays, is a fun version on its own. Fewer people also usually means a lower price.
Which photos work best?
The clip is a handheld phone video under a pale early-morning sky, and the dancers move fast, so clear photos matter:
- One person per photo. Crop a group shot down to just one friend.
- Sharp and well lit. Daylight or a bright room beats a dark, blurry snapshot.
- Face clearly visible. No sunglasses, hands or hair covering it.
- Full body for clothes. A full-body photo carries clothes best. With only a portrait, leave "Keep the original look" on so the dancers' outfits stay.
Fast motion and three people at once are the hard parts for any AI video, so a face may need another take. More tips are in which photos work best for an AI video swap and in what to do if the face doesn't look like you.
How much does it cost?
You can start for free: the preview is about 5 seconds of your video at 480p, with a small "vswp.app" mark. The full video is paid with Telegram Stars (⭐), and your first paid video is 50% off. The price depends on the length, the quality and the number of people you replace, and it's shown before you start. If a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back automatically.
Every user also has an invite link: send yours to your friends, and when one of them first tops up, you both get bonus Stars.

FAQ
Is the gas station dance AI video free?
The preview is free: about 5 seconds at 480p with a small mark. The full video is paid with Telegram Stars, and your first one is 50% off.
What song is in the gas station dance?
It's "On & On (Stay with Me)" by Akcent, the same audio as in the original clip. vswp keeps the original sound, so your version plays the same song.
Can I put a celebrity or a movie character in it?
vswp works with photos of real people you have the right to use. Use photos of yourself and friends who agreed, not of strangers or public figures. See face swap consent and safety.
Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
Yes, if everyone in it agrees. Add an AI label: the EU AI Act's disclosure rule for deepfakes applies from August 2026, and rules differ by country, so this is not legal advice. A label also simply tells viewers the video is generated.
