How to make the Mi Chico Dance video on Smew AI

The entire process happens in your browser. No editing software needed, no prompts to compose, no watermark added.

  1. Add your photo

    Tap "Create your own" and upload a full-body shot of yourself. Capture it with your camera or select one from your gallery.

  2. Press Generate

    The cost appears on the button. Kling 3.0 Motion Control extracts the choreography from the Mi Chico dance and applies it to your photo's subject, set in your photo's location, running about 15 seconds with the original audio. No prompt writing required.

  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.

Which photo works best?

You need one photo for Human or Pet, and two photos for Duo.

  • Human: full standing position showing your complete body from head to toe, facing forward, arms visible and not pressed against your body. Your video preserves your photo's setting and composition, so vertical framing with space around you produces the best results.
  • Duo: one distinct photo of each person, both facing forward, preferably showing head to toe. Photo 1 appears on the left, photo 2 on the right.
  • Avoid sunglasses, masks, hats covering the face, beauty filters, and other people in frame. Your clothing comes from what's in the photo.
  • Pet: a focused shot of the entire animal with facial features visible. Coat colors and patterns are pulled from the photo.
  • Adults and pets only: use photos of yourself, an adult who gave permission, or your own pet. Never use celebrities or strangers.

Where did the Mi Chico Dance trend start?

"Mi Chico" is a track by Romanian DJ and producer DJ Goja. It gained momentum on TikTok during spring 2026, leading to a remix featuring Jason Derulo and Melody released on 26 June 2026, accompanied by a music video filmed in Paris (Wikipedia, Songfacts).

The choreography circulated well before the remix dropped. A Vietnamese dance studio pair shared it on 27 April 2026 (@bobo_le, reaching 644,000 views by 17 October), with dancers from Korea, the Philippines and the UK following suit. Jason Derulo's tutorial post from 23 June labeled "easiest way to learn the #MiChico dance" gathered 7.9 million views, while slowed mirror tutorials broke down the movements.

AI interpretations appeared almost immediately: we traced the earliest to an AI cat wearing glasses on 13 April, followed by an AI pink bunny in rhinestone sunglasses on 2 May that accumulated 70,700 views (@highonbubbles)—the reel our Pet version reproduces. An AI kitten group recreating a boy band rooftop performance, posted on 30 September, reached 1.1 million views (@humantix), with AI crocodiles and dogs joining after. By 17 October 2026, #michico accumulated 81,708 TikTok videos and 948.0 million views, with AI video platforms introducing Mi Chico templates on 15 and 16 October.

Character replacement on the video, moment for moment. Replace the character in the video with the person from the uploaded image. Keep the camera movement and the timing of the video, as one continuous handheld shot. No text or logos. Photorealistic, identity consistent for the whole clip. Keep actions, poses, facial expressions and rhythm. Preserve the person's original facial features, maintain character consistency, no distortion, no glitches, no artifacts. The person dances in the place from the uploaded image, in the clothes and shoes from the uploaded image, not the beige tube top or the grey-green wide sweatpants of the dancer in the video, and keeps their own hair from the uploaded image, not long dark hair. Follow the dancer's moves and timing exactly: both hands up at the sides of the head, the hands framing the face, the arm swing and the hair flip, the steps toward the camera with hip sways, the wide side lunge, the arm rolls and the hand rolls in front of the chest, the chest brushes, the knee lift with a hand by the face, both hands up on top of the head with the elbows wide, and the arms thrown out at the end. Natural balance and stable ground contact. Exactly one person, no other people. One continuous shot, no cuts, no text, no captions, no logos.

Keep the dance studio with the dark grey wall, the red ceiling, the small white wall unit, the pink side light and the grey floor, the camera movement and the timing of [Video 1], as one continuous shot. No text or logos. Photorealistic, identity consistent for the whole clip. Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same fixed camera, framing, timing and dance moves, both dancers in full view from head to feet. Dancer 1 (left) = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] - 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 exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 1]. NO grey cross-print T-shirt, no camo cargo pants and no red hair ends unless [Image 1] shows them. Dancer 2 (right) = the person in [Image 2], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 2] - 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 exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 2]. NO cap, no black T-shirt and no olive cargo pants unless [Image 2] shows them. The same real people in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends instantly recognize them, also during the hair flips and the turns. Never morph, never drift back to the original dancers' faces, never add or remove facial hair. Do not mix the two faces: [Image 1] is only dancer 1 on the left, [Image 2] is only dancer 2 on the right. Both change: no one from the video stays. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat, both dancers in sync: 0-4.5 s: they stand side by side and sway to the intro, one hand on the chest, the other hand brushing the hair and the face. 4.5-6.5 s: wide lunges to the side with big arm sweeps. 6.5-9 s: arm rolls and hand waves in front of the body, quick steps. 9-11 s: hand flicks by the face, chest brushes, a hair flip. 11-13 s: hand rolls at the chest, small steps and hip sways. 13-15 s: both hands up behind the head, elbows wide, a sway to the end pose. Anatomy rules: one head per person, on that person's own shoulders. A face never appears on knees, legs, hands or clothes. Exactly two people. Natural balance, stable ground contact. No extra dancers, duplicate bodies, extra limbs, fused fingers, text, logos or watermark.

Duo215 seconds in a dance studio with pink lighting: both of you sway together, then lunge, circle the arms, flick hands near the face and end with both hands behind the head, moving in unison.

Mi Chico meaning, and who sings the Mi Chico song

What does Mi Chico mean? "Mi chico" translates from Spanish as "my boy" or "my guy", similar to saying "my boyfriend" in a song—that covers the Mi Chico meaning in English. Some platforms even label the trend as the "My Boy" dance, with TikTok tags also calling it the Michico challenge.

The Mi Chico song comes from DJ Goja, a Romanian DJ and producer; the TikTok audio "Mi Chico" by DJ Goja appears in most early dance videos. The Mi Chico Jason Derulo edition is the remix with Jason Derulo and Melody from 26 June 2026, labeled "Official Mi Chico", with its Mi Chico music video filmed in Paris. People also search "Mi Chico Doja Cat", but Doja Cat isn't featured on the track—the name DJ Goja sounds similar.

This page doesn't reproduce the Mi Chico lyrics: the composition belongs to its copyright holders. People frequently search the chorus as "Mi Chico dance all night". Your video includes the song segment the choreography uses.

Which sound and hashtags should you post it with?

Your video includes the music, matching the exact seconds the choreography covers, making it ready to share. You can mute the audio on the results screen and select your preferred Mi Chico TikTok track when posting instead—either the DJ Goja original or the Jason Derulo remix. The composition belongs to its copyright holders, and Smew AI grants you no license to it. Music regulations vary by platform, so review them before using the video in advertisements or sponsored content.

Hashtags: #michico is the primary Mi Chico TikTok tag, with 81,708 videos and 948.0 million views on 17 October 2026, followed by #michicodance (4,914 videos, 12.8 million views), #michicotrend and #michicochallenge. These same tags function on Instagram Reels. Maintain the platform's AI disclosure.

Who sings Mi Chico: DJ Goja or Jason Derulo?
Both editions exist. Mi Chico DJ Goja is the original track by the Romanian DJ and producer. Mi Chico Jason Derulo is the remix featuring Jason Derulo and Melody (Mi Chico Melody), released on 26 June 2026 with a music video. The Mi Chico dance Jason Derulo demonstrated on TikTok gathered 7.9 million views. Smew AI has no affiliation with any of them.
Is Mi Chico by Doja Cat?
No. People search "Mi Chico Doja Cat" because the names sound similar, but the track is by DJ Goja, with the remix adding Jason Derulo and Melody.
How do I make the Mi Chico AI video?
Tap "Create your own", select Human, Duo or Pet, then upload your photo or photos. Tap Generate; the cost displays first. You receive a Mi Chico AI video of 14 to 15 seconds with the music. It's the Mi Chico AI dance trend seen on TikTok, featuring your own face or your own pet, with no CapCut template or prompt composition required.
Can my cat or dog do the Mi Chico dance?
Yes. Select Pet. It recreates the AI pink bunny reel by @highonbubbles: your pet appears standing upright in a white studio wearing rhinestone sunglasses and a gold chain, performing the Mi Chico cat dance with paw pointing, paw rolls and both paws behind its head. It functions as a Mi Chico dog dance as well, and for any pet that can substitute for the bunny. AI cat dance videos are among the most searched AI pet content, and this is the Mi Chico version.
Can I do the Mi Chico dance with a friend?
Yes. Select Duo and upload two photos: photo 1 performs on the left, photo 2 on the right. Seedance 2.5 places both of you into a studio duet reel of the Mi Chico duo dance, positioned side by side and moving in sync, wearing your own clothing.
Do I have to learn it from a Mi Chico dance tutorial?
No. If you want to learn the Mi Chico dance moves personally, the slowed and mirrored tutorials on TikTok and YouTube demonstrate how to perform the Mi Chico dance step by step, with the Jason Derulo post explaining the Mi Chico dance steps of the chorus. Here the AI performs it: from your photo it executes the complete routine.
Who started the Mi Chico dance trend?
No single creator originated it. The track went viral on TikTok during spring 2026, with dance creators sharing their Mi Chico dance choreography from April (a Vietnamese studio pair's original dance video from 27 April has 644,000 views), and Jason Derulo promoted it again in June. The AI movement began with AI pets in April and May.
Is the Mi Chico trend still going?
Yes, in a renewed phase. The choreography peaked on TikTok during summer, but new Mi Chico dance videos continue appearing weekly: an AI kitten crew posted on 30 September reached 1.1 million views, a duet by two brothers from 9 October has 2.3 million, and AI video platforms introduced Mi Chico templates on 15 and 16 October. The Mi Chico trend on TikTok now centers on AI pets and AI groups.
Is Mi Chico an AI song?
Some people search "Mi Chico AI song" and "is Mi Chico AI music". We found no definitive statement from the artist confirming or denying this, so this page makes no assertion about it. Here "Mi Chico AI" refers to an AI video of the choreography: your photo, the movements and the music.
Where does the background of my video come from?
Human preserves the setting from your photo: Kling 3.0 Motion Control extracts only the choreography, so your own room or street remains. Duo preserves the dance studio from the duet reel, and Pet preserves the white studio from the AI bunny reel, because you're placed into those source reels directly.
Will the dancers from the original clips be in my video?
No. Human extracts only the choreography from a single-take dance video by an adult creator. Duo substitutes both performers from an adult studio pair with the people in your photos. Pet recreates an AI-generated bunny reel, so no actual person appears in it. Upload photos of yourself, adults who consented, or your own pet—never a celebrity or a stranger.
What prompt does the Mi Chico AI trend use?
No trend creator published a prompt: the dance videos are authentic, and the CapCut and app templates are proprietary. We build from a template site's single-line character substitution prompt (substitute the performer frame by frame, preserve the camera work and timing, exclude text or logos) and incorporate the choreography from each reel. You compose no prompt yourself.
Which AI models make the videos, and how long are they?
Human employs Kling 3.0 Motion Control (15 seconds, 720p, in your photo's composition). Duo and Pet employ Seedance 2.5 (15 and 14 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 720p) and can require up to several minutes. All produce MP4 files with the music, with no watermark.
