Abstract

Online courses have become increasingly common in recent years. Many people have also begun to exercise and learn new activities, including dancing, at home by watching online videos and lessons, particularly during the COVID-19 epidemic. Classical ballet is one of those physical activities that conventionally requires visits to a studio, not only to dance but to receive feedback to improve poses. Since guidance is needed, it is difficult for the at-home learner to learn new dance poses and movements simply by watching videos. As a result of this problem, this late-breaking paper propose a support system that can assist at-home ballet learners in providing feedback of their dance poses.
