Mi Chico Dance AI: Cast All Five Crew Roles

Mi Chico Dance is a 17-second portrait clip of five friends: they lean over a phone lying on the ground, one of them picks it up for a selfie, and then all five dance the Mi Chico routine on a rooftop car park as the sun goes down. Oakgen redraws every dancer from a photo, so the video needs five, one per role. The roles are not equal: one person carries the camera and the front of the formation, and the others are seen mostly in the huddle and in the group. This page explains each role so the right friend ends up in the right place.

Who plays which part

01

The take in one paragraph

There are no cuts. For the first second and a half the camera looks straight up from the ground at five faces against a blue sky, waving, making peace signs and reaching toward the lens. From about 1.5 seconds the leader picks the phone up and films a selfie with the crew behind, then walks backwards across the rooftop car park until about 4.4 seconds. Around 4.5 seconds the phone swings down in a blur and the five step into formation. From about 4.6 to 16.9 seconds they dance the routine while the camera moves around them, the sunset glow fading and the light poles coming on. The last moments are both hands on the head, then a whip-pan up to the sky.

02

Leader: the person the video is about

The leader is at the bottom centre of the opening huddle in a tan-and-navy patchwork jacket, white tee and ripped light-wash jeans. They are the one who grabs the phone, so their face fills the frame during the selfie walk-back, and in the routine they usually dance front and centre. They are seen the most and the closest. Put the person the video is about in this slot, with a sharp, front-facing photo that shows the face clearly.

03

Blue beanie and black cap: the near pair

In the huddle the blue beanie is at the lower left and the black cap at the right, both close to the lens with their faces lit by the sky. In the routine they dance near the leader and come forward as the formation rotates. The original dancers wear a light-blue beanie with a cream graphic tee and a black cap with a black hoodie, but your photos replace those outfits, so the photo you upload decides what each one wears. A photo that shows the face and the upper body works best.

04

Sunglasses and graphic tee: the top of the huddle

The sunglasses and graphic-tee roles lean in from the top of the opening frame, upside down from the camera's point of view, and then fill out the back and sides of the formation. In the source the sunglasses dancer has bleached blond hair and a hood up, and the graphic-tee dancer wears a cream oversized tee with a red graphic. They get less close-up time than the leader, so viewers recognise them by hair, build and clothes as much as by face. Choose photos where those are visible as well as the face.

05

Five photos, no exceptions

The studio will not start until all five roles have a photo. Every dancer is redrawn, and a role without a photo would leave the template with nobody to draw in that place, so fewer than five is not supported. You can use photos of yourself and four friends; use only photos of people who agreed to be in the video, one person per photo. The credit quote includes preparing all five photos as well as the video itself, so read it before you generate.

06

Make the five look different

A crew of five reads well when each person is easy to tell apart: different hair, different colours, different builds. If all five photos show similar people in similar clothes, the formation turns into a blur when the camera circles. If you want the matching-outfit look some crews post, choose photos where everyone already wears the same colour, and accept that faces then carry all the recognition. The preview on the trend page is the credited source video, not an Oakgen result, and no generated example has been reviewed yet.

    Cast the crew

    Upload one clear photo for each of the five dancers. The leader picks up the phone and dances front and centre most of the time, so cast that role first.

  2. 02

    Review quality and price

    Choose a quality and review the quote. It includes preparing all five photos and the complete video.

  3. 03

    Check every dancer

    Watch the huddle faces, the selfie, and each dancer as the formation rotates before downloading your portrait MP4 with the original sound.

01

Five dancers, five photos

Each photo casts one member of the crew: their face, hair and outfit carry from the huddle over the phone, through the selfie walk-back, into the routine. Nobody from the original video is kept.

02

The whole take

One continuous 17-second shot: the worm's-eye huddle against the sky, the leader's selfie walking backwards, the phone going down and the full-crew routine on a rooftop car park as the sun sets and the lights come on.

03

The Mi Chico sound

The finished video keeps the source's audio, the Mi Chico sound the original crew danced to, so every chest pump, sway and hands-on-head finish stays on the beat.

04

An attributed source

The preview is the original @jyt crew video, credited and used as the motion and timing reference. It is not an Oakgen-generated result.

Questions & answers

What is the Mi Chico dance trend?

It is a group dance to the song "Mi Chico". In the crew version Oakgen recreates, five friends lean over a phone lying on the ground, one picks it up for a selfie and walks backwards, then the five dance the Mi Chico routine together on a rooftop car park. On TikTok it is also searched as "trend de mi chico".

Do I need five photos?

Yes. Every dancer in the video is redrawn from a photo, so the leader, blue beanie, black cap, sunglasses and graphic tee each need one: yourself and four friends. Fewer than five is not supported, because a dancer without a photo would have no one to become.

Which photo should be the leader?

The leader is the dancer in the patchwork jacket at the front of the opening huddle. They pick up the phone, film the selfie walking backwards and dance front and centre for most of the routine, so they are seen the most. Put the person the video is about in that slot.

What song is it?

"Mi Chico" is a song by DJ Goja, released in March 2026. The source clip uses the TikTok sound "Official Mi Chico", credited to Jason Derulo, from the later Jason Derulo and Melody version. Your video keeps the source's audio.

I saw cats and dogs doing this. Is it the same?

The animal clips are AI remakes that copied this crew's format after it was posted. Oakgen's Mi Chico Dance follows the original five-person crew and is made for photos of people.

How is it different from other Oakgen dance trends?

Gangnam Style Trio and Bulin 47 Squad are three-person routines, and Smalltown Boy Dance is a duo. Mi Chico Dance is the five-person one, with the phone huddle and selfie walk-back before the routine.

How long is the video?

About 17 seconds in portrait 9:16, from the first wave over the phone to the final whip-pan up to the sky.

Whose photos can I use?

Use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to be in the video, one person per photo. Do not upload photos of public figures or anyone who has not consented.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. It is the attributed source video by @jyt, shown for its moves, camera and timing. Your result is drawn from your five photos; review every face and the routine before sharing.

How much does it cost?

4,013 credits per 720p video. The quote includes preparing all five photos and the complete video. Check it before generating.
