What happens in the Code Red dance?
The clip runs just over 22 seconds. The two dancers share one wide outdoor shot. They start beside each other, with space for both to move. The dancer on the left wears a light cropped top and loose jeans. The dancer on the right wears a white tank top with a pink garment tied at the waist. As they step, turn and bring their hands up near their faces, they sometimes look toward each other and sometimes face the camera. A dark creature silhouette shows against the red clouds overhead.
The camera holds enough of the scene to see the dancers and the sky together. When you play the template, watch a few moments where they face forward, then follow a turn. Those views give you an idea of how much of your face and outfit will be visible in the result. The two role cards match their positions at the start.
Where does this Stranger Things dance come from?
The template comes from Ivy’s Code Red TikTok, posted on December 23, 2025. Ivy (@ivy0710) uses “CODE RED” in the caption, tags @ZAI and includes the #strangerthings and #dance hashtags. TikTok credits the clip’s sound as “Stranger Things” by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein. The red sky and the creature effect are part of this TikTok clip and stay behind the dancers in the template.
How to make the Code Red dance with your photos
- Open the Code Red Stranger Things template and sign in with Telegram.
- Play the clip and pick the dancer you want to replace. Use the light top and the white tank top as cues when you choose a card.
- Add one photo to that dancer’s card. To make the duet with a friend, use a separate photo on the second card. A dancer whose card you leave empty keeps their original appearance.
- Leave “Keep the original look” on to keep the source outfits, or turn it off to use the clothes in your photos as references.
- Choose the quality and check the price in Telegram Stars before creating the full video. When it is ready, download the MP4.
Which photos work for the two dancers?
A sharp photo of one person in even light is a good starting point. Pick one where both eyes are visible and there is a clear outline around the jaw and hair. The dancers turn their heads and bring their hands close to their faces, so check likeness in a moment when the face is unobstructed. If you want your outfit to appear in the wide shot, use a full-length photo where the clothes and silhouette are easy to see. The photo guide shows how to choose a reference for either option.
