Long-horizon, high-dynamic motion tracking on humanoids remains brittle: retargeted reference motions are typically kinematically plausible but dynamically inconsistent with the robot, so small tracking errors accumulate and eventually destabilize control.We present RobotDancing, a practical single-stage reinforcement learning recipe that tracks retargeted motions by predicting reference-conditioned residual joint targets. By parameterizing actions as residual corrections on top of the reference, the policy can focus on compensating reference–robot dynamics mismatch (e.g., actuation limits, latency, friction, inertia) rather than re-synthesizing the motion. We train one policy per reference sequence while reusing a common training and deployment recipe across motions and platforms. We evaluate RobotDancing on eight LAFAN1 dance motions on Unitree G1 and conduct cross-platform experiments on H1 and H1-2. The resulting G1 policies execute long-horizon, high-energy behaviors on hardware without test-time modifications, and qualitative H1/H1-2 clips further illustrate cross-platform feasibility.
