Charme is Rio de Janeiro's soul and R&B party dance: small gliding side steps, rolling shoulders and cool turns, danced by whole crowds at the same time. The best-known baile charme meets under the Viaduto de Madureira, and the dance also fills the street parties at Pedra do Sal, a historic square in the old port. The trend starts with a real clip. On 7 August 2026, the charme dancer @zenegaooficial posted himself dancing in the middle of the Pedra do Sal crowd at night, under bright floodlights: 1.6 million views and 275,100 likes by 18 October. In October, people began to put other faces into that clip with AI. On 16 October, the TikTok account @seuzerj put its white-haired AI grandpa, Seu Zé de Madureira, into it ("nobody believed in grandpa at the baile charme"): the first AI version without a celebrity to take off, with 96,400 views. On 18 October at 12:12 UTC the first CapCut template tutorials for the charme dance trend came out, and the top one passed 605,000 views in less than a day. Most makers are in Brazil, where creators call it the dança AI retrô of the Festa Charme. ### Charme Dance trend timeline - **2026-08-07**: The charme dancer @zenegaooficial posts his dance in the packed Pedra do Sal crowd at night: 1.6 million views and 275,100 likes by 18 October.

No editing app, no watermark. ### The one-tap way (no prompt to write) 1. **Add your photo.** Press "Make yours" and add you, face clear (knees up is best). Take it with the camera or pick it from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/charme-dance-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 films the Charme Dance scene straight from your photo, with no in-between picture, for 10 seconds with original sound. You write no prompt. 3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video model takes your photo as a reference ([Image 1]) and films the scene straight from it, with no photo step first. AI Video takes one photo as the first frame, so it cannot run this prompt the same way: the prompt is here to read. #### Variant: Human Settings: 1 photo (you, face clear (knees up is best)) · Seedance 2.5 · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · with sound · 126 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text Animate the person in [Image 1]: they dance charme with smooth side steps in a crowded night street party in Rio. String lights. People film them with phones. Handheld phone video. One continuous vertical 9:16 shot with no cuts, like a real phone video filmed from inside the crowd at chest height, photorealistic, a little shaky, with natural night light. The dancer is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), the same build, and the clothes from [Image 1], so their friends recognize them at once. The dancer is an adult. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also in the head turns. Never morph. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the dancer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The place: a packed open-air charme party at night in an old square of Rio de Janeiro: old two-storey colonial houses with painted walls and murals, warm string lights across the street, bright white floodlights on tall poles, blue market tents. Hundreds of adult partygoers in summer clothes dance close around the dancers; many film them with their phones. The dance is charme, the smooth Rio soul party dance: small gliding side steps left and right on the beat, one foot crossing behind the other, soft knees, rolling shoulders, the hands low in front of the hips, short cool turns to the side and back. Relaxed and stylish, never jumping. 0-3 s: a medium shot from the knees up: the dancer stands in the middle of the dancing crowd, nods to the beat and starts the charme step, sliding smoothly to the left and to the right. 3-6 s: the dancer glides two steps to one side and back, crosses one foot behind the other, turns the head to the side with a cool smile, then turns back to the camera. The people around them cheer and point at them. 6-8 s: the dancer leans in toward the phone with a big, proud smile: the face is large and sharp, exactly the face from [Image 1]. 8-10 s: they step back into the crowd and keep dancing the smooth side steps on the beat, while two partygoers next to them hold up their phones and film them. Audio: an original smooth old-school R&B and soul groove at a mid tempo, warm bass and soft keys, no known song and no lyrics; the crowd cheers, claps and chats. The dancer never speaks. Every other person is a generic adult partygoer: no famous people, no children. No logos, no club shirts, no brand names, no readable signs, no captions, no watermark. One head, two arms, two legs and five fingers per hand; a dancer never merges with another person. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/charme-dance-ai-trend/create #### Variant: Duo Settings: 2 photos (you (left), face clear + your friend (right), face clear) · Seedance 2.5 · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · with sound · 126 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text Animate the two people in [Image 1] and [Image 2]: they dance charme side by side with smooth side steps in a crowded night street party in Rio. String lights. People film them with phones. Handheld phone video. One continuous vertical 9:16 shot with no cuts, filmed from inside the crowd at chest height, photorealistic, a little shaky. The dancer on the LEFT is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), and the clothes from [Image 1]. The dancer on the RIGHT is the person in [Image 2], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 2] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles) and the clothes from [Image 2]. Both are adults. Never blend their faces. Each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once. If an image shows an animal, that dancer is that animal standing upright, with its own face, fur and markings.

The dance is charme, the smooth Rio soul party dance: small gliding side steps left and right on the beat, one foot crossing behind the other, soft knees, rolling shoulders, the hands low in front of the hips, short cool turns to the side and back. Relaxed and stylish, never jumping. The two dance the same steps in sync, shoulder to shoulder. 0-3 s: a medium shot from the knees up of both side by side in the middle of the crowd: they nod to the beat and start the charme step together. 3-6 s: they glide two steps to one side and back in sync, cross one foot behind the other, then turn to each other with a laugh. The crowd cheers. 6-8 s: both lean in toward the phone with big smiles, the faces large and sharp: [Image 1] on the left, [Image 2] on the right. 8-10 s: they step back and keep dancing in sync while partygoers film them. Audio: an original smooth old-school R&B and soul groove at a mid tempo, warm bass and soft keys, no known song and no lyrics; the crowd cheers, claps and chats. The dancers never speak. Exactly two dancers in front. Every other person is a generic adult partygoer: no famous people, no children. No logos, no club shirts, no brand names, no readable signs, no captions, no watermark. One head, two arms, two legs and five fingers per hand; a dancer never merges with another person. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/charme-dance-ai-trend/create?variant=duo #### Variant: Pet Settings: 1 photo (your pet, whole body) · Kling 3.0 · 10 s · 1080p · 9:16 · with sound · 56 credits in one tap. 1. Open [AI Photo with this template](https://www.makeviral.ai/photo?template=charme-dance-ai-trend&variant=pet) and add your photo (your pet, whole body). The photo prompt is filled in: ```text Use the uploaded image as the base. 9:16 vertical photo, like a real phone photo taken at night from inside a dancing crowd, at the height of the pet. The pet from the uploaded image stands upright on its two hind legs in the middle of a packed open-air charme party at night in a historic old square of Rio de Janeiro: old two-storey colonial houses with painted walls and colorful murals, warm string lights across the street, bright white floodlights on tall poles, blue market tents. Adult partygoers in light summer clothes dance around it, some hold up their phones to film it. The pet faces the camera with a happy, cheeky face, its front paws held up in front of its chest as if it is about to dance. Its whole body is in view, from the ears to the hind paws, with its tail. Realistic photo with natural night colors and a soft, shallow depth of field. Exactly one animal. No clothes on the pet. No children. No text, no logos, no club shirts, no readable signs, no watermark. ``` 2. Check the still before you spend credits on the video. Everything the video model does starts from that one frame. 3. Press the film button on the still to open AI Video with the still as the first frame. Settings: Kling 3.0, 10 s, 1080p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text One continuous vertical shot with no cuts, like a real phone video filmed at night from inside a dancing crowd, a little shaky. Keep the animal's face, fur, markings, tail and size, and the old square, the string lights, the floodlights, the tents and the crowd, exactly as in the image. 0-3 s: the pet stands upright on its hind legs and starts to dance charme: small, smooth side steps to the left and to the right on the beat, its shoulders swaying and its front paws moving low in front of its chest, its head nodding. 3-7 s: it glides two steps to one side and back, does a short cool turn to the side and turns back to the camera, still upright; the partygoers around it cheer, clap and film it with their phones. 7-10 s: it steps close to the phone with a happy face, its face large and sharp, then keeps dancing the side steps as the crowd cheers. Audio: an original smooth old-school R&B and soul groove at a mid tempo, warm bass and soft keys, no known song and no lyrics; the crowd cheers, claps and chats. The pet never speaks. Exactly one animal, with real furry paws. No extra animals, no extra legs, no morphing. Every person is a generic adult, no children. No text, no logos, no club shirts, no readable signs, no watermark. ``` 4. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/charme-dance-ai-trend/create?variant=pet ### Which photo works best? You need **one photo** for Human or Pet, and **two photos** for Duo. - **Human:** a sharp photo with your face turned to the camera, from the knees up or full body, in good light. You dance in the clothes from your photo, so wear what you would wear to a street party. - **Duo:** photo 1 dances on the left, photo 2 on the right. One person per photo, both faces clear. - **Pet:** the whole animal in view, the face clear, no second animal. Standing or sitting both work. - No sunglasses, no mask and no beauty filter; nobody else in a people photo. - This template is for adults and pets. Use your own photo, your pet, or an adult who agreed. Never a celebrity or a stranger. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 10 s, 720p, straight from your photos, one tap | 126 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the charme dance AI video, second by second? Every version is one continuous handheld phone shot from inside the crowd, 10 seconds, vertical 9:16: | Time | Human and Duo | Pet | |---|---|---| | 0-3 s | From the knees up in the middle of the crowd: you nod to the beat and start the charme step, sliding left and right. | Your pet stands up on its hind legs and starts the side steps. | | 3-6 s | Two gliding steps to one side and back, one foot crossed behind, a cool look to the side. The crowd cheers. | A glide to the side, a short turn, back to the camera. | | 6-8 s | You lean in to the phone with a big smile, your face large and sharp. | It steps close to the phone with a happy face. | | 8-10 s | Back into the crowd, still dancing, while people film you. | It keeps dancing while the crowd films it. | The place is the same in all three: an old square of Rio at night, painted colonial houses, string lights across the street, white floodlights and a crowd of partygoers with their phones up. **Human** and **Duo** use Seedance 2.5 straight from your photos, so your face stays yours. **Pet** first makes a still of your pet at the party, then animates it with Kling 3.0 Pro (Standard) or Seedance 2.5 (Best). Every clip comes with an original smooth soul groove and the crowd sound made for your video. Every run is a new take, so results differ. ## What is charme, and what is a baile charme? Dança charme, o que é? Charme is the dance of Rio's black music parties since the 1980s: soul, R&B and slow funk, danced with smooth, coordinated steps instead of jumps. A baile charme is the party itself; baile charme, o que é in one line: a night where the whole floor does the same gliding moves to old-school R&B. People who learn it look for dança charme passo a passo videos, and the classic tracks are called charme das antigas. The most famous baile charme, the Baile Charme do Viaduto de Madureira, takes place under a road bridge in Madureira, which is why searches for baile charme Madureira and the Viaduto de Madureira come with this trend. The clip the trend copies was filmed at the Pedra do Sal street party in central Rio. That is why people also call it the Rio street party AI trend, or the charme dance Brazil trend. ## Who is Seu Zé de Madureira, and is he real? Seu Zé de Madureira is the face of the Seu Zé de Madureira trend: a white-haired grandpa with round glasses, a red shirt and suspenders who dances charme better than the crowd. He is an AI character of the TikTok account @seuzerj, which puts him into other people's viral clips and credits the original in each caption. His baile charme clip of 16 October is @zenegaooficial's Pedra do Sal dance with the grandpa in the dancer's place: the same crowd, the same floodlights, the same moves. So the Seu Zé de Madureira IA clip is not a real visit to the party. This page shows that clip as the original AI reel, credited. Our template does not copy his look or use his name in any prompt: it puts you, your friend or your pet at the party, in your own face and clothes. ## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it? | Problem | Fix | |---|---| | The face looks a bit off in a head turn | Use a sharp photo with the face turned to the camera, in good light, and run it again. | | The two faces blend on Duo | Use two photos with one person each; keep photo 1 for the left dancer and photo 2 for the right. | | The dance looks stiff | Charme is a calm, smooth dance, so the steps are small on purpose. Run it again for a new take. | | Your pet drops onto four legs | Pick Best for the pet, or use a photo where the whole pet is in view. | | A logo or a club shirt shows up in the crowd | The prompt bans logos and club shirts. Run it again if one slips through. | | The video model refuses the photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. | ## Charme Dance trend questions ### What is the charme dance AI trend? It is the charme dance trend of October 2026: AI puts a person into a packed Rio street party at night, where they dance the smooth charme side steps while the crowd films them. It grew from a real Pedra do Sal dance clip of 7 August 2026 and took off with the AI grandpa Seu Zé de Madureira on 16 October. MakeViral makes your own version from one photo. ### How do I make a charme dance AI video? Press "Create your own", pick Human, Duo or Pet, and add your photo (two for Duo). Press Generate; the button shows the price before you spend anything. You get a 10-second vertical AI dance video with its own groove and crowd sound. You write no prompt yourself. ### Do I need the charme dance CapCut template? No. The charme dance CapCut template is a closed template, and the charme dance tutorial videos on TikTok show how to open it in CapCut. MakeViral works in the browser as an AI dance video generator: no CapCut, no app, no editing. ### Can I dance charme with a friend? Yes. Pick Duo and add two photos: photo 1 dances on the left, photo 2 on the right, both in sync, in the same Rio crowd. The original dancer posts duo clips with friends too, so the charme dance duo version is close to the source. ### Can my dog dance charme? Yes. Pick Pet for an AI dog dance at the baile: your dog (or cat) stands up on its hind legs and does the charme side steps in the crowd. This dog dancing AI clip is the charme dance pet version, and it works for any pet in one clear photo. ### Is Seu Zé de Madureira a real person? No. Seu Zé de Madureira is an AI grandpa character of the TikTok account @seuzerj. His charme clip is an AI edit of @zenegaooficial's real Pedra do Sal dance video. Your MakeViral clip is AI-made too, so keep the platform's AI label on when you post it. ### What music is in the video? Each clip comes with an original smooth soul and R&B groove and the crowd sound, made by the video model for your clip. It is not the song from the viral clips: that song belongs to its owners. You can also add a sound of your choice when you post. ### What prompt does the charme dance AI trend use? No creator shared one: the CapCut template is closed and the AI clips name no prompt. Our prompts are our own, built from the original clip (the old square, the floodlights, the crowd, the moves) and a short description of the trend: dance charme with smooth side steps in a crowded night street party in Rio, string lights, people filming with phones, a handheld phone video. ### Which AI models make the videos? Human and Duo use Seedance 2.5 straight from your photos, at 720p, so the faces stay close to the photos. Pet makes a still of your pet at the party with Nano Banana 2, then animates it with Kling 3.0 Pro (Standard) or Seedance 2.5 (Best). It can take a few minutes. ### Como fazer o vídeo da dança charme com IA? Envie uma foto (ou duas, para dançar em dupla), escolha Human, Duo ou Pet e toque em Generate. O vídeo de 10 segundos mostra você dançando charme no meio de um baile charme lotado no Rio, à noite. É a mesma ideia do baile charme IA e da dança AI retrô do TikTok, sem CapCut e sem app: a dança charme IA feita direto no navegador, com uma foto. ### Is there an app for the charme dance AI? You do not need one. People search app dança ia, dança ia foto or video charme ai because the trend started with an app template; MakeViral makes the same charme AI clip on the web from your photo, and it is one of our AI dance trend templates, like a make my photo dance tool for this one party. ### Is it funk or charme? Both words show up. Many tutorials call it Brazilian funk dance AI, funk dance AI or ia dança funk, because the template's own description calls it a Brazilian funk dance. The dance in the clip is charme: slow, smooth soul steps, not the fast funk carioca moves. Our clip keeps the charme steps. ### How long is the video and what format is it? All versions make 10 seconds, vertical 9:16 MP4 with sound and no watermark. Human and Duo are 720p; Pet Standard is 1080p and Pet Best 720p. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [Cale Brown Dance AI: Do the Viral Keep On Steppin Steps From One Photo](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/keep-on-steppin-ai-dance): Strut to the front, footwork on the beat, a lean and a turn, the way the leader of the line does it in the original clip.
