Animation Details
Asking to dance with him presents a solo invitation gesture followed by turning steps. The character begins upright, changes to a side-on stance and lowers the head. After a brief held posture, one hand rises near the face and then extends forward with the palm open as the upper body inclines.
The character maintains the offered hand while bending the knees and stepping across, then turns until the back becomes visible. Further steps bring the body around again, with the arms returning lower. The preview focuses on offering a hand and repositioning; it does not establish a partnered dance routine or a second performer's response.
 
Technical Specifications
File format: FBX, according to the existing listing. Motion category: social invitation with an open-hand offer, forward inclination and turning footwork. Source frame rate, rig structure, root-motion implementation and seamless-loop behavior have not been independently confirmed.
 
Compatibility and Production Workflows
Maya's FBX workflow can support aligning the offered hand with a separately animated partner. Review hand height, distance between characters and foot contact before adding your own response or dance transition. MotionBuilder retargeting requires suitable source and target characterization; these routes have not been asset-tested.
 
Suitable Uses
Ballroom introductions, party-scene conversations, romantic film moments and social-game invitations. A medium shot can feature the open palm and slight bow, while wider coverage preserves the following turn. Acceptance, refusal or a dance can be staged separately to suit your story.
