It follows the moves and handheld camera of the AI reel that started the wave, so the steps, the look at the dancer next to you, the low groove and the turn land on the same beats. You add one photo, nothing else. Videos start at 15 credits. ## Where the baile charme trend came from The reel this template follows (TikTok, 16 October 2026), played in TikTok's own player. Watch on TikTok Charme is the soul and R&B party dance of Rio de Janeiro, born in the early 1980s: small gliding side steps danced by a whole crowd at once. Its best-known party meets under the Viaduto de Madureira, and it also fills the street parties at Pedra do Sal, a historic square in the old port. On 7 August 2026 the dancer @zenegaooficial posted his charme in the packed Pedra do Sal crowd at night (1.6 million views). On 16 October @seuzerj turned it into an AI reel of a white-haired grandpa, Seu Zé de Madureira, out-dancing the crowd. A CapCut template followed, and from 18 October tutorials sent thousands of people to put themselves, and action-movie stars, in his place. ## Tips - **Face sharp and forward** Eyes and mouth clearly visible, no sunglasses. The camera stays close, so your face fills a big part of the frame. - **Show some body** Waist up or full body works best: the steps and shoulder rolls need your arms and shoulders in the photo. - **Dress for the party** You dance in the clothes from your photo, so a summer-night outfit fits the street party best. - **Use your own photo** Use a photo of yourself or of an adult who said yes. Never a stranger, a child or a public figure. ## FAQ ### What is the charme dance AI trend?
