MACE-Dance: Motion-Appearance Cascaded Experts for Music-Driven Dance Video Generation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2512.18181v3 Announce Type: replace With the rise of online dance-video platforms and rapid advances in AI-generated content (AIGC), music-driven dance generation has emerged as a compelling research direction. Despite substantial progress in related domains such as music-driven 3D dance generation, pose-driven image animation, and audio-driven talking-head synthesis, existing methods cannot be directly adapted to this task. Moreover, the limited studies in this area still struggle to jointly achieve high-quality visual appearance and realistic human motion.
