About

Dance If You're Peak / Can I Join? refers to a series of edits on TikTok, using Viggle AI, showing three characters from fiction dancing to the Brazilian phonk song "DIA DELÍCIA" and another character asking, "Can I join?" who is immediately rejected, represented by them getting slapped in the face. The video format used the phrasal template, "Dance if you're peak X," with the "X" being replaced by an accolade that the editor believed the three characters met. The dancing video used behind the AI video rotoscoping was originally from TikToker Jersey Joe. The trend started on TikTok in mid-2025, later spreading to Twitter / X via viral reposts. The "Dance If You're X" format borrows from the precursor Dance If You're an NPC trend from 2022.

Origin

Currently, the earliest known iteration of a Dance If You're Peak video, using Viggle AI and a video from TikToker Jersey Joe, was shared by TikToker^[1] @361.micah on March 6th, 2025. The video showed characters from Invincible dancing in front of a white background with the caption, "POV: You carried episode 7."

On May 16th, 2025, TikToker^[5] @lahdjdgdiddh posted an edit that rotoscoped characters from multiple anime series like Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Tokyo Ghoul and Re:Zero onto a dance video with the top caption, "Dance if you're a peak MC [main character]." Then, the MC of Solo Leveling, Sung Jin-woo, is shown asking to join. He's then knocked out in a slapping video, also using Viggle AI. Over 17 days, the video received roughly 64,800 likes (shown below).

Also on May 16th, TikToker^[6] @gyom3i posted a video following the same format, instead leading with the phrase, "Dance if you're a peak harem MC." The video received over 181,600 likes in 17 days (shown below). It's currently unknown which TikToker shared their edit first on the day.

The template used a dance video from TikToker^[2] Jersey Joe, which was originally posted in December 2024 (shown below). Creators used Viggle AI to rotoscope characters on top of the dance video.

The slap video used in the format was from the Power Slap League, originally posted to YouTube^[3] in January 2023 (shown below).

The videos were set to the song "DIA DELÍCIA" by Nakama, Mc Staff and ΣP, which was released on YouTube^[4] in April 2025 (shown below).

Spread

After TikToker^[1] @361.micah's video was shared in March 2025, multiple people followed the format, eventually leading to the two abovementioned videos in May 2025.

For instance, on March 8th, TikToker^[7] @d.xovan posted another Invincible iteration, gaining over 134,800 likes in three months (shown below).

In late May 2025, many followed the Dance If You're Peak / Can I Join? format, such as TikToker^[8] @wolkingzz, who posted an iteration called "Dance if you're a peak new gen" on May 20th, receiving over 20,000 likes in 13 days (shown below).

On May 21st, 2025, TikToker^[9] @zdekez posted an iteration with the protagonists from the Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Dexter universes, seen slapping the MC of Hazbin Hotel. The opening text read, "Dance if you're peak." Over 12 days, the video received roughly 158,700 likes (shown below).
