I’m the person in this photo, or that adult gave me their OK. No kids, no famous or political faces.

Why we ask

Putting someone’s face in a video without their OK can break privacy and image-rights laws, and that responsibility is yours. So you confirm three things: you are the person or have their OK, they are an adult, and they are not a celebrity or a politician. We keep the time you confirmed with the request.

Charme on TikTok: the AI grandpa and the real thing

The same AI grandpa pulled into a dance battle, two dancers showing the side steps, and Zenegão dancing charme for real at Pedra do Sal. Each is credited and plays here; none was made on this site.

Where charme dance comes from

Charme is a group dance from Rio de Janeiro, danced in rows to slow American R&B and soul since the early 1980s; it is not samba and not funk carioca. Its best-known home is the Saturday baile under the Negrão de Lima overpass in Madureira, from 10 p.m., whose first Saturday night is dated to 22 March 1994. Rio’s city hall listed the baile as a cultural asset in 2013, the state named charme intangible heritage in 2019, and a 2021 law gave it 8 March as its day (The Rio Times, 27 September 2026; Wikipedia).

The AI version began with @seuzerj, an account whose AI grandpa, Seu Zé de Madureira, dances at a packed street party at night. The post of 16 October 2026 is captioned "Ninguém botou fé no vovô no baile charme" (nobody believed in grandpa at the baile charme), credits the real dancer @iae.zenegao as the original, and had 167.7K plays on TikTok on 9 November. CapCut templates followed within days, and some posts call it the Van Damme dance; more under #bailecharme.

The effect here follows that AI grandpa clip, keeps its timing and its sound, and redraws the dancer from your photo, in your clothes. It is an independent tool with no tie to @seuzerj, Zenegão, any baile, TikTok or CapCut, and it adds no famous face: the dancer is drawn from your photo.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is charme dance AI?

Charme dance AI is the TikTok charme dance clip remade with AI from your photo: you take the AI grandpa’s place at a Rio street baile, with his side steps, the slow turn and the open arms. Here the video is 15 seconds, 9:16, with the clip’s song.

What is charme dance?

A Rio de Janeiro group dance to slow R&B and soul, danced in rows of small steps, forward, to the side, a half turn, a swing of the hips. The Saturday baile under the Madureira overpass is its best-known home (The Rio Times).

Who started the charme dance AI trend?

The earliest AI post we found is the AI grandpa account @seuzerj, on 16 October 2026, crediting the real dancer @iae.zenegao. CapCut templates and remakes came after.

Why do some people call it the Van Damme dance?

Some template posts put the actor’s face on the dancer and tag it that way. The effect adds no famous face: the dancer is drawn from your photo.

What song is in the charme dance AI video?

The clip’s own sound, as @seuzerj posted it, laid back on the finished file. We do not name a track TikTok does not name.

How much is a charme dance AI video? Is it free?

10 credits at 480p or 22 at HD 720p; the $9.99 Single pack makes 1 video at 480p. Each Google account gets one free 2-second preview first. Failed renders refund their credits. See pricing.

Do I need CapCut for charme dance AI?

No. It runs in the browser on a phone or a computer, with no app and no template link.

Can my dog or cat do the charme dance AI?

Yes. The prompt stands the animal on its hind legs and has it dance with its front paws in the grandpa’s spot.

Will the charme dance AI video keep my clothes?

Yes. Hair and clothes come from a head-to-toe portrait drawn from your photo; nothing of the grandpa’s red shirt, braces or glasses is meant to stay.

How long does it take?

Usually 4 to 15 minutes. You can leave the page; the video stays in My videos.

Is a charme dance AI video real?

No, it is AI: you never went to the baile. Turn on TikTok’s AI-generated label when you post; see the TikTok AI-generated label.

What happens to my photo?

It is used for your video only and deleted after 7 days. Details in the privacy policy.
