+# MACE-Dance: Motion-Appearance Cascaded Experts for Music-Driven Dance Video Generation
+
+[**Paper**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.18181) | [**Project Page**](https://macedance.github.io/) | [**GitHub**](https://github.com/AMAP-ML/MACE-Dance)
+
+MACE-Dance is a cascaded expert framework for music-driven dance video generation. It explicitly decouples motion generation and appearance synthesis to produce kinematically plausible, artistically expressive, and visually coherent dance videos.
+
+The framework consists of two main components:
+- **Motion Expert**: Performs music-to-3D motion generation (SMPL) using a diffusion model with a BiMamba-Transformer architecture.
+- **Appearance Expert**: Synthesizes the final dance video conditioned on the motion and a reference image, ensuring visual identity and spatiotemporal coherence.
+
+## 📦 Pretrained Weights

+### 📘 Description
+
+- 🎭 **Expert-Appearance**: Pretrained weights for the **Appearance Expert** (motion-guided video synthesis).
+- 🕺 **Expert-Motion**: Pretrained weights for the **Motion Expert** (music-to-3D dance motion).
+- 📊 **Evaluation-Appearance**: Weights used for **appearance-related evaluation** (based on VBench).
+- 📈 **Evaluation-Motion**: Weights used for **motion-related evaluation** (based on ViTPose).
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+- Each subfolder contains a compressed **`.7z`** package. Please extract the corresponding file before use.
+- Make sure the extracted weights are placed in the expected paths for training, inference, or evaluation as specified in the [official code repository](https://github.com/AMAP-ML/MACE-Dance).
+- Use **Expert-*** weights for model inference and **Evaluation-*** weights for metric computation pipelines.
