Hi Avi,
The type of animation demonstrated in "Line Dance" is more under
motion capture technology. At my school we did something similar with a
green screen and then had the student actors do their piece. The motion
was then transferred to a background made in Blender. The final piece was
then rendered into a movie format. We used Blender, FinalCut Pro,
Photoshop, and for Mocap, ipisoftware.
