Forearms crossed, then flung out like wings.
Both arms shoot straight up.
Arms held out wide, dead still.
You keep dancing without a flicker while the crowd films.
A hand on the head and a freeze on the last beat.

The Cheba Man trend is a dance video filmed from inside a party crowd: one dancer alone on a red-lit stage runs a sharp Tecktonik arm routine with a completely straight face and freezes on the last beat. People remake it with themselves, their friends or their cat or dog on that stage.
It started with a crowd clip from a backyard party, where a dancer took the stage and did the whole thing without a flicker of expression. The clip spread everywhere, and then everyone wanted to be the one up there.
The straight face is the joke. It works on anyone, and a cat or dog doing it on its hind legs is the version people send to everyone they know.

Straight answers on making, paying for and sharing your Cheba Man video.
Yes. Choose your pet and add one photo, and it stands up on the red stage and does the whole Cheba Man dance with its own paws, no human hands.
One clear, full-length photo. For your Cheba Man video, that’s you head to feet, facing the camera, in soft light, or your pet’s whole body shot at its eye level. You don’t need a video.
Yes. The song is already in your Cheba Man video. If an app mutes it, add the same sound from its library when you post.
No. You only add a photo; the moves, the timing, the red stage and the crowd all come from the Cheba Man trend.
Like you. Your Cheba Man video keeps your own face, hair and clothes from your photo; only the moves, the stage and the red light come from the trend.
Usually a few minutes. You can close the page: your Cheba Man video waits in My videos, and we email you when it’s ready.
