“…In addition, interested choreographers and dancers can further integrate technology into dance to map out exciting new possibilities for arabesque ballet. They could even experiment with virtual reality during lessons and training, mapping, and projection, perhaps with the aid of other technological tools, to improve learning efficiency and renew kinematic characteristics (Quadrado et al, 2022).…”

The present paper examines the different types and variations of arabesque dance movement from ancient times until today. The study analyzes and discusses the elements of arabesque dance, its common cultural elements as visualized through a chronological lens, its choreography, and its aesthetics in order to explore its development in terms of needs that arose from period-specific trends and dance stereotypes. The meaning of the term “arabesque” has changed from simply “a group of dancers,” now representing a delicate and highly masterful art. The gradual refinement of arabesque by dancers and instructors evolved an adept dancing system that positions the body in equilibrium by distributing its weight equally. The physical coordination, posture, and grace inculcated through arabesque movement benefit individuals' strength, posture, focus, and performance. Specific dance teaching styles, methods and strategies are also discussed based on outdoor and indoor modern setting, to create innovative education patterns for dancers, schools, academies or companies. Stakeholders, teachers, and instructors in performing arts should ensure the widespread distribution of these methods and their benefits to share their positive impacts with the world.

“…The optimization of technologies for collecting data on movements during dancing can significantly improve the control of athletes' motor skills. The review [34] is devoted to the analysis of the use of these sensor technologies. Combining two or more types of technologies can improve data reliability and optimize motion performance.…”

Background and Study Aim. The increase in the popularity of sports dances recently has been confirmed. Dancing combines sports and aesthetic components. Dances are used for sports, recreational and rehabilitation purposes. The study aim is an analytical analysis of publications devoted to sports dances and the determination of priority scientific areas in this field. Material and Methods. The bibliometric database Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) is analyzed. For the primary analysis, 618 sources were selected which met the search criteria for 2018–2022. We used bibliometric methods for processing the information received in the context of sports dances for 173 sources. The VOSviewer 1.6.18 program was used: keyword analysis method and direct citation analysis with the construction of bibliometric maps, visualization of cluster density, weights – citations. Results. The constructed bibliometric maps made it possible to identify the leading thematic areas of research, current areas of research in this field. They can be divided into sports, recreational, medical and rehabilitation areas. The sports context is aimed at studying the performance of technical elements, the development of the physical qualities of athletes, the assessment of physical fitness, the dynamics of the morphofunctional state. Psychophysiological studies are aimed at analyzing balance and equilibrium. Publications of a recreational orientation study the health-improving use of dances, their impact on health. The medical and rehabilitation direction explores the features of sports injuries in dancing, injury prevention and the possibility of using dances in the complex rehabilitation. The use of the VOSviewer program, version 1.6.18, made it possible to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the problem, to determine the priority scientific directions in this area. Conclusions. The conducted bibliometric analysis of publications confirms the relevance of the problem of sports dances. A constant research interest in this problem has been determined. Research in this area has a pronounced sports and medical focus. Bibliometric analysis of publications allows identification the three following areas: sports, recreation and rehabilitation. Dancing is being explored as a sport, a form of physical activity, and a form of rehabilitation. A fairly high level of sports injuries has led to interest in the analysis of the prevalence and prevention of injuries. Its characteristic feature is the intersection of these directions. The study of athletes’ state confirmed the lack of works devoted to a comprehensive study of athletes, predicting success and skill growth. There are not enough works studying the physical state of sports dancers. There are practically no studies aimed at studying the psychophysiological state. These types of studies should be assessed as relevant.

Purpose “Cuban Motion” (CM) is a term often used to label a basic movement of many Latin-American dances, such as salsa and bachata. It is characterized by a cyclical and rhythmic flexion and rotation of the pelvis, accompanied by ample movements of the spine and lower limbs. Since Latin dances are considered both a recreational activity and a kind of healthy gymnastics for young and older subjects, a biomechanical analysis of the CM was performed to quantitatively assess the main features of this movement, from joint kinematics to muscle activations. Method The study combined experimental acquisitions with a Vicon Motion Capture system and musculoskeletal analyses in OpenSim. Only one subject was considered, an instructor of Latin dances, who was equipped with 55 retro-reflective markers, according to the Full Body CGM2.5 marker set. Data were processed in OpenSim, using the ThoracoLumbar model (111 DoFs and 620 musculo-tendon actuators). Results The cycle of the CM and its main events were defined. Results showed a wide RoM of many joints, with correlations between hip and knee flexion angles and among list, between hip adduction and shoulder flexion. The main role of the iliopsoas and the ileus costalis muscles was observed. Conclusions The current study quantified the CM as a physical exercise using a biomechanical approach similar to a gait analysis. The main kinematic and kinetic features were described, also providing an estimation of the muscle activations and joint reactions, derived from simulation activity in OpenSim. The main limitation of this study is the focus on a single subject, but this step was necessary to define a context and guidelines for future investigations, where we are going to compare èlite vs. novices and male vs. female dancers.
