Is "enter a dance animation with" idiomatic?
It's a very new expression, because it's mostly used for video games, so I was wondering if it was idiomatic? I am not sure, but maybe there's a better way of saying it, because it sounds odd.
For example:
My male character entered a dance animation with the female character.
This is not an idiomatic expression and never has been. When interperetting this sentence, the reader will take it literally. In the context of videogames, animation usually means a set collection of movements. And yes, it does sound odd.
