Animation Details
Dance 1 develops from a relatively still standing opening into raised-arm stepping. The character first makes small head, shoulder and hand adjustments with the arms lowered. One arm then extends outward and lifts diagonally above the head while the opposite hand remains lower and open.
Alternating knee lifts and narrow crossing steps accompany this asymmetric arm arrangement. The higher hand moves between an overhead reach and a sideward extension as the torso shifts beneath it. Later, both arms open more widely, then lower toward waist height while the character continues small steps. The sequence finishes with open hands and a taller posture, giving the performance a clear change from its standing preparation.
 
Technical Specifications
Listed animation format: FBX. Motion category: standing preparation, diagonal arm reaches and alternating dance steps. Source frame rate, joint count, root motion and seamless looping have not been independently verified.
 
Compatibility and Production Workflows
Maya's FBX import can support framing the diagonal reach for a cinematic celebration. Unreal Engine's skeleton-retargeting workflows may suit a social-game avatar with appropriate setup. Check shoulder elevation, foot crossings and hand spacing, and select an edit range around the quieter opening. These workflows have not been asset-tested.
 
Suitable Uses
Character dance moments, animated celebrations, social-avatar performances and film party activity. The single high arm creates a recognizable silhouette, while the knee lifts and later open-arm passage provide several poses for full-body framing or a longer edited sequence.
