Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study set out to extract motion characteristics that influence the evaluation by judges from the side-step movements of hip-hop dancing. A quarter-cycle phase delay between the neck motion and other body parts, seen only in the expert dancers, is highlighted as an element that can distinguish dancers’ skill levels. In addition, in the expert dancers, the range of motion of the face inclination angle and the vertical head velocity at the beat moment were significantly larger than those of the non-expert dancers. Of these kinematic parameters, only the range of motion of the face inclination was highly correlated to the judging score and is regarded as being the most appealing element of the side-step movement.
