Motion Capture In Dance Teaching: Case For Further Development

In the article, I make the review of the current stage of motion capture and other advanced technological solutions used in dance teaching and related fields. Currently, such techniques are either costly or can be used only in environment where professional motion capture equipment is employed. Further constraints are both material, as such the necessity for wearing markers or special costumes, and theoretical, because educators are not yet ready for the possibilities that remote teaching based on AI and advanced computing can bring to the pupils. Recent advances in technology give us reasonable hope for providing dance educators with less equipment-dependent approaches and therefore call for the development of new theoretical and practical teaching methods used in remote or even virtual environments.
