Abstract

Dancing is a discipline that makes enhances the mood in people and is challenging to learn because it requires good coordination and feeling of the rhythm. In this paper we present and describe the Dancing Coach (DC), a tutoring system designed to help users to learn and practice dancing steps. The current implementation of the DC provides guidance and practice options for basic salsa dancing steps. However, its design allows the addition of different steps and dancing styles for future implementations.
