Abstract To address the challenge of simultaneously balancing both dance motion quality and beat alignment in audio-driven dance generation tasks, a beat-aware dance generation model integrating Mamba-Transformer(BeatDG) is proposed. First, an upper and lower limb motion feature encoding network is designed to autonomously learn a codebook of meaningful dance units in an unsupervised manner. Second, a beat feature extraction module is designed to effectively enhance music beat extraction capability. Therefore, the computational efficiency is ensured while the temporal modeling between music beats and dance motions is taken into account. On the basis of the above, a rhythm-gated temporal causal attention module is constructed to facilitate information interaction between music signals and upper and lower limb features. Finally, a hybrid generative architecture based on Dance Mamba and Transformer layers is designed to simultaneously consider continuous inter-frame features and global context. In this architecture, body and music binformation are fused and dance motions bconforming to spatial norms and paradigms are generated. Experiments on the AIST++ dataset demonstrate that BeatDG effectively improves the alignment between music beats and dance motions and ensures the quality of the generated dance.
