“…6. Movement interaction: According to Soga et al (2001), there are some ways to describe human movement, which can be categorized into: (i) movement leveleach specific part of the human body can be manipulated (e.g., Labanotation); (ii) steps levelsome dances have combinations of small movements pre-defined and with specific nomenclatures (e.g., the movement "rond de jambe" in classical ballet); (iii) pieces/repertory levelin restricted cases, a large sequence of movements can be standardized, such as repertory ballets (e.g., Marius Pepita`s ballet piece The Sleeping Beauty). 7.…”

Technology has increasingly occupied other areas of sciences and humanities, including art and dance. Over the years, initiatives to use technological applications in artistic performances have been observed and this research is developed regarding this context and the challenge of using technology to support the artist’s imagined creations. The systematic mapping of the literature carried out is part of a broad search for studies that portray the interdisciplinarity of these two universes, aiming to find technologies that support the choreographic composition process, focusing on tools that work together with the choreographer’s activities. The methodology consisted of using search terms in research repositories, which initially returned 635 publications, which were filtered by inclusion and exclusion criteria, to undergo further analysis. Eighteen tools were identified and explored in which the main applicability was the simulation of movements through graphic animation. From the operating mode of these applications, the challenges of the existing relationship between technology and the creation of dance were discussed. This study only incorporates technologies that act as a support tool by sharing the compositional effort, which creates the opportunity for future investigations into other ways of using technology in dance creation. The main contribution of this paper is identifying and classifying the main integration strategies of technology and dance composition, as well as summarizing the data and discussing its implications, been the identification of the lack of involvement of artists (end users) in the early stages of the development process the most relevant finding.

“…In those works, motion data of the dances were mainly captured by commercial large-scale motion capture systems and analyzed in detail to investigate whether these obtained data comply with previously defined patterns [6] [7]. Soga et al developed a prototype system that provides professional ballet dancers with feedback on their dance performance in relation to ideal patterns using Web3D techniques [4]. Usually, these efforts have been carried out to enhance the skills of professionals.…”

We propose a method for estimating dancing skills based on rhythmical factors extracted by video processing. The proposed method consists of motion analysis to obtain motion parameters of human body parts and data analysis to transform the obtained complex motion parameters into compact forms that represent the dance actions. We use a Kalman filter to increase robustness in the motion analysis. Data analysis of motion parameters was executed using Singular Value Decomposition. As a result of analyzing transformed data sequences, we confirmed that our proposed method can extract the rhythmical factors of dance that have correlation with subjective estimation results.

Abstract. In this work, we propose a novel approach in which a system autonomously composes dance sequences from previously taught dance moves with the help of the well-known differential evolution algorithm. Initially, we generated a large population of dance sequences. The fitness of each of these sequences was determined by calculating the total inter-move transition abruptness of the adjacent dance moves. The transition abruptness was calculated as the difference of corresponding slopes formed by connected body joint coordinates. By visually evaluating the dance sequences created, it was observed that the fittest dance sequence had the least abrupt inter-move transitions. Computer simulation undertaken revealed that the developed dance video frames do not have significant inter-move transition abruptness between two successive frames, indicating the efficacy of the proposed approach. Gestural data specific of dance moves is captured using a Microsoft Kinect sensor. The algorithm developed by us was used to fuse the dancing styles of various 'Odissi' dancers dancing to the same rasa (theme) and tala (beats) and loy (rhythm). In future, it may be used to fuse different forms of dance.
