Music- and Lyrics-driven Dance Synthesis
Lyrics often convey information about the songs that are beyond the auditory dimension, enriching the semantic meaning of movements and musical themes. Such insights are important in the dance choreography domain. However, most existing dance synthesis methods mainly focus on music-to-dance generation, without considering the semantic information. To complement it, we introduce JustLMD, a new multimodal dataset of 3D dance motion with music and lyrics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first dataset with triplet information including dance motion, music, and lyrics. Additionally, we showcase a cross-modal diffusion-based network designed to generate 3D dance motion conditioned on music and lyrics. The proposed JustLMD dataset encompasses 4.6 hours of 3D dance motion in 1867 sequences, accompanied by musical tracks and their corresponding English lyrics.
