But is pure-CGI dance actually, like, impressive and meaningful? I feel like dance, out of all the art forms on earth, is the hardest to translate to CGI b/c so much of it is about the human form in motion.

If you're motion capturing from humans, it's not pure-CGI animation. Besides, is CGI furry cat suits with human faces - with actors really obviously not doing their own dancing, and you can tell that from the trailer - any more impressive and meaningful than motion capture? Because that's where we're at right now.

If you want to translate dance to the screen, they could just play a video of the live action musical, right? No point in making the new movie at all.

But since they are making one, and it's not going to be live-action, and we're discussing how it could be better while leaving uncanny valley behind, here we are.

But motion capture still doesn't get the physical tensile quality of human motion, of muscle moving in space.

Didn't they specifically get an elite ballerina for one of the dance-heavy parts because they wanted to showcase that?

Yes, she's the white cat you see a lot of.

Literally the CGI is to make the costumes furrier and eliminate seams. They've discussed this. The rest is costuming.
