Abstract

This work addresses the Huawei/3Dlife Grand challenge proposing a set of audio tools for a virtual dance-teaching assistant. These tools are meant to help the dance student develop a sense of rhythm to correctly synchronize his/her movements and steps to the musical timing of the choreographies to be executed. They consist of three main components, namely a music (beat) analysis module, a source separation and remastering module and a dance step segmentation module. These components enable to create augmented tutorial videos highlighting the rhythmic information using, for instance, a synthetic dance teacher voice, but also videos highlighting the steps executed by a student to help in the evaluation of his/her performance.
