Wan-Dancer: A Hierarchical Framework for Minute-scale Coherent Music-to-Dance Generation

🔥 Latest News!!

July 13, 2026: 💃 We introduce Wan-Dancer, a method can generate long-duration, high-quality, rhythmic dance videos from music with global structure and temporal continuity. We released the model weights and inference code. And now you can try it on ModelScope Studio or HuggingFace Space!

Run Wan-Dancer

Wan-Dancer can generate long-duration, high-quality, rhythmic dance videos from music with global structure and temporal continuity. Our method decouples the process into global keyframe planning and local temporal refinement, leveraging full-track musical context to ensure long-range coherence.

1. 🎬 Generate Global Keyframe Video

Run the global stage script:

cd Wan-Dancer
./gen_video_global.sh

🔧 Important Parameters

Parameter	Description
`seed`	Random seed for reproducibility.
`image_path`	Path to reference image. Example: `gen_video/ref_image/1001.jpg`
`prompt_path`	Path to prompt file (defines dance style). Available styles: Chinese Classic Dance: `gen_video/prompt/古典舞_global.txt` K-Pop Dance: `gen_video/prompt/kpop_global.txt` Street Dance: `gen_video/prompt/街舞_global.txt` Tap Dance: `gen_video/prompt/踢踏舞_global.txt` Latin Dance: `gen_video/prompt/拉丁舞_global.txt`
`music_path`	Path to input music file. Example: `gen_video/music/ChineseClassicDance.WAV`
`output_folder`	Output directory for generated video.
`timestamp`	Timestamp identifier for output files.
`num_inference_steps`	Number of diffusion inference steps (e.g., 48).

🌰 Examples

Dance Genres	Parameter	Generated Global Video
Chinese Classical Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/1001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/古典舞_global.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/ChineseClassicDance.WAV' num_inference_steps=48 cfg_scale=5
Street Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/2001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/街舞_global.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/StreetDance.WAV' num_inference_steps=48 cfg_scale=5
K-Pop Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/3001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/kpop_global.txt' music_path='gen_video/music_suno/3001.WAV' num_inference_steps=48 cfg_scale=5
Latin Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/4001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/拉丁舞_global.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/LatinDance.WAV' num_inference_steps=48 cfg_scale=5
Tap Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/5001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/踢踏舞_global.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/TapDance.wav' num_inference_steps=48 cfg_scale=5

2. 🎥 Generate Final High-Resolution Video

Run the local refinement stage:

cd Wan-Dancer
./gen_video_local.sh

🔧 Additional Required Parameters

Parameter	Description
`global_video_path`	Path to the global video generated in Step 1. Required for local refinement.
`prompt_path`	Path to prompt file (defines dance style). Available styles: Chinese Classic Dance: `gen_video/prompt/古典舞_local.txt` K-Pop Dance: `gen_video/prompt/kpop_local.txt` Street Dance: `gen_video/prompt/街舞_local.txt` Tap Dance: `gen_video/prompt/踢踏舞_local.txt` Latin Dance: `gen_video/prompt/拉丁舞_local.txt`

✅ All other parameters (seed, image_path, etc.) are identical to Step 1.

🌰 Examples

Dance Genres	Parameter	Generated Final Video
Chinese Classical Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/1001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/古典舞_local.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/ChineseClassicDance.WAV' num_inference_steps=24 cfg_scale=5 global_video_path='outputs/global_video/1001_ChineseClassicDance_seed0.mp4'
Street Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/2001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/街舞_local.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/StreetDance.WAV' num_inference_steps=24 cfg_scale=5 global_video_path='outputs/global_video/2001_StreetDance_seed0.mp4'
K-Pop Dance	seed=100 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/3001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/kpop_local.txt' music_path='gen_video/music_suno/3001.WAV' num_inference_steps=24 cfg_scale=5 global_video_path='outputs/global_video/3001_KPopDance_seed0.mp4'
Latin Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/4001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/拉丁舞_local.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/LatinDance.WAV' num_inference_steps=24 cfg_scale=5 global_video_path='outputs/global_video/4001_LatinDance_seed0.mp4'
Tap Dance	seed=0 image_path='gen_video/ref_image/5001.jpg' prompt_path='gen_video/prompt/踢踏舞_local.txt' music_path='gen_video/music/TapDance.wav' num_inference_steps=24 cfg_scale=5 global_video_path='outputs/global_video/5001_TapDance_seed0.mp4'

Note: The num_inference_steps should be set to a larger value (e.g., 48) for longer time videos.
