Turn a Character Reference into a Storyboard Dance Video

## Stage 1 — Create the dance storyboard
Using the uploaded character reference image, create one square 4×4 dance storyboard with 16 equally sized panels. Preserve the character’s face, hairstyle, colors, body proportions, outfit, accessories, and art style exactly; do not redesign the character. Choose a dance style that suits the character’s personality, such as lively, elegant, cool, cute, or composed. Show one coherent dance sequence with an opening, build, climax, and ending. Arrange the actions from left to right, then top to bottom. Each panel must contain one full-body character in a different pose, viewed from a fixed camera. Use a white background, thin grid lines, and label the upper-left corner of each panel from 1 to 16.

Avoid repeated poses, changes to the face or outfit, inconsistent proportions, extra limbs, cropped bodies, background objects, and other text.

## Stage 2 — Animate the storyboard
Using the generated storyboard image, create an ${duration:8}-second square 2D dance animation with one continuous, full-body shot. Follow the ${action-count:16} storyboard actions in order, changing to the next action every ${seconds-per-action:0.5} seconds and transitioning smoothly between poses. Keep the character’s appearance and outfit locked to the storyboard and reference. Specifically preserve the hairstyle: ${hairstyle}; accessories: ${accessories}; clothing: ${clothing}.

Use a fixed eye-level camera, a white floor, and a faint shadow. Set the rhythm to ${bpm:120} BPM and use instrumental music only. Do not cut, add other people, or show storyboard grid lines or labels.
