Dance Interactive Learning Systems

Abstract

Motion Capture and whole-body interaction technologies have been experimentally proven to contribute to the enhancement of dance learning and to the investigation of bodily knowledge, innovating at the same time the practice of dance. Designing and implementing a dance interactive learning system with the aim to achieve effective, enjoyable, and meaningful educational experiences is, however, a highly demanding interdisciplinary and complex problem. In this work, we examine the interactive dance training systems that are described in the recent bibliography, proposing a framework of the most important design parameters, which we present along with particular examples of implementations. We discuss the way that the different phases of a common workflow are designed and implemented in these systems, examining aspects such as the visualization of feedback to the learner, the movement qualities involved, the technological approaches used, as well as the general context of use and learning approaches. Our aim is to identify common patterns and areas that require further research and development toward creating more effective and meaningful digital dance learning tools.

[Retracted] Visual Sensing Human Motion Detection System for Interactive Music Teaching

“…It can help students understand the connotation of dance deeply and guide students to master the learned movements. It can also effectively improve teachers' demonstration and students' imitation of traditional teaching methods and increase the interaction between teachers and students [3]. Pham et al (2018) [4] showed that the computer vision community is currently committed to solving the problem of action recognition in real videos, which contain thousands of challenging samples.…”

Exploring the Role of Artifacts in Collective Dance Re-staging

“…Finally, Raheb et al [38] propose an extensive literature review of interactive systems that support dance learning. The majority of the systems presented follow the same workflow: the system presents a "correct movement" that the student needs to reproduce while the system provides feedback.…”

“…Learning and performing a new dance choreography requires both skill and practice [21], and offers a fertile ground for studying complex skill acquisition [4,5]. Although a number of systems have been designed to teach dance [38], most of them focus on supporting an individual dancer's learning process [1]. However, learning a dance performance is highly collaborative -dancers must not only learn their own parts, but also learn how to interact dynamically with other dancers.…”
