The Firestarter Dance Trend: K/DA’s Kai’Sa Vogue Part

The Firestarter dance trend is people covering Kai’Sa’s vogue solo from the official music video of FIRESTARTER, the comeback single K/DA released on October 19, 2026. The part runs around 1:44 of the video, lands on the beat drop and ends with a death drop to the floor. Dancers post it as a split screen, the music video on top and themselves below. A Firestarter dance AI video starts from one photo instead: the AI uses a real dance-studio cover of the Kai’Sa part as its reference and puts you, a friend who said yes or your pet in the dancer’s place. You get a 15-second, 720p vertical MP4 set in that studio, with the FIRESTARTER sound and no watermark, not a split screen.

The clips above are other creators’ posts, shown with credit: @feygie__’s TikTok cover, and AI versions by @TheRankee69 and @maiofficialvn on YouTube. None of them was made on this site.

Where the Firestarter Dance Comes From

K/DA is the virtual girl group of League of Legends, made by Riot Games. Its members are four of the game’s champions: Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai’Sa. After six years without a new single, K/DA came back with FIRESTARTER on October 19, 2026, together with an animated music video by Fortiche, the studio behind Arcane. The single features MIYEON and SOYEON of i-dle, Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb (Inven Global).

The official music video on the League of Legends YouTube channel passed 3 million views within six hours of release (The Express Tribune) and showed about 34.5 million views on October 30, 2026. Two days after the release, on October 21, Riot also posted the official choreography video, which had about 3.07 million views on October 30. The choreography is by Sean Bankhead.

The Kai’Sa Part: the 1:44 Moment

The section everyone covers is Kai’Sa’s solo, around 1:44 of the music video (by our count it runs from about 1:43.9 to 1:55.4). She vogues on the beat drop in a glowing purple, starry space, and the solo ends with a death drop, a dip all the way to the floor. Fans call it “the Kai’Sa part”, “the vogue part”, “Kai’Sa vogue” or simply “the beat drop” (watch it at 1:44 in the official video).

Who Made It a Trend

Covers started within a day of the release, almost always as a split screen: the music video on top, the dancer below.

• @feygie__ posted her cover of the vogue part on TikTok on October 20, 2026. By October 30 it had about 1.2 million views and 230,100 likes.
• @yyuzukii.mp4 posted a cover of the chorus on October 19, 2026, with about 534,900 views.
• @minmisfit (MIN JAE) posted a dance-studio cover of the whole Kai’Sa part on YouTube Shorts on October 24, 2026, ending in the death drop. It had about 89,000 views. This is the take our generator copies.

AI versions followed fast. On October 23, @TheRankee69 posted an AI-made dancer in a red cape doing the vogue part in a misty forest, and on October 24 @maiofficialvn posted two AI-made cats in red-and-white outfits dancing to FIRESTARTER on a stage.

The hashtags people use: #kda #firestarter #kdafirestarter #kaisa #leagueoflegends #kpop #dancecover #vogue.

Why Everyone Is Doing It

• It’s short. The Kai’Sa part is over in about 11.5 seconds, so it fits a TikTok or a Short with room to spare.
• It has a payoff. Vogue arms build up to one big move, the death drop, and that ending is the move everybody copies.
• It’s a comeback moment. Fans waited six years for a new K/DA single, and the hashtags on the covers mix #leagueoflegends with #kpop and #dancecover.
• The split screen does the work. With the music video on top and the dancer below, viewers can compare the two without a caption.

How the Firestarter Dance AI Version Works

The AI behind it is the Wan 3.0 AI video model, which copies the moves and camera of a reference video. Our reference is @minmisfit’s dance-studio cover of the Kai’Sa part. The AI follows it move for move and swaps in the person or pet from your photo.

What comes from the studio take:

• The routine, in order: a sway with small hand gestures at the chest (0–3 s), vogue arms with waves, hands framing the face, both arms up and a knee lift (3–8 s), steps across the floor with a kick behind and arms swept out wide and up (8–12 s), a high kick and a spin (12–13.5 s), and the death drop flat onto the floor with one leg up (13.5–15 s).
• The setting: a bright dance studio with big windows and a class of dancers watching in the background. Your video is set there, not in your photo’s background.
• The camera, the timing and the matching 15 seconds of K/DA’s FIRESTARTER, the Kai’Sa part, synced to the moves.

What comes from your photo:

• The dancer’s face, hair and body.
• The clothes you wear in the photo.
• If the photo shows two people (or a person and a pet), both dance side by side. Results vary.

It’s a real-looking dance-cover video of you, not an animated Kai’Sa and not a scene from the music video. The video is 15 seconds long, 720p, vertical, with no watermark.
