Target Full body  ·  Equipment Body weight  ·  Level Intermediate  ·  Reps 2

Dance phrase is a intermediate-level dance movement targeting the full body, written in Posecode, a small open-source language that LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can write to describe human movement as text. Every joint angle below is hard-clamped to a safe range of motion.

How to do it

1. 1-2 - breath, arms to second2s · ease-in-out Turn out, open the arms to second, lift through the crown
2. 3-4 - demi-plié2s · ease-in-out Bend the knees over the toes, arms round down through first
3. 5-6 - relevé, arms en haut2s · ease-in-out Press up to relevé and lift the arms into a frame overhead
4. 7-8 - close2s · ease-out Lower the heels and resolve, arms floating back to the sides

This is the exact text an LLM writes to produce the animation above: phases and joint angles, not 3D transforms.
