Pirouette 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. Prep - plié1.2s · ease-in-out Plié to load the turn, arms rounded low in first
2. Spot & spin1.4s · ease-in-out Push up to relevé, pull the arms in, and spin a full turn
3. Land1s · ease-out Land softly through the feet, arms floating back to the sides

The .posecode source

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