A middle part of the top side of the mold defines an instep that rises at an angle from about thirty degree to about 45 degree from the front part of the top side of the mold. The rear part of the top side is a heel portion. The bottom side of the mold has a front portion, a middle portion and a rear portion, the front and middle portion of the bottom side slope upward from the rear portion of the bottom side. The heel portion of the top side and the rear portion of the bottom side are parallel. The twirl training device has a width that is at least two and half inches.

The present specification discloses an exercise system comprising a stable support purchase, such as a ballet barre, and an unstable support apparatus, such as a ball or a roller, wherein an individual may support a limb on the unstable support apparatus and selectively contact the stable support purchase for balance while performing an exercise, such as a ballet position, and an associated method comprising the steps of positioning at least one limb on the unstable support apparatus and simultaneously performing the exercise.

Dance instruction and learning mats in accordance with embodiments of the invention are provided. In one embodiment, a dance instruction mat includes a hexagon having a plurality of corners, where each of the plurality of corners is associated with a number and a plurality of midpoints, where each of the plurality of midpoints is associated with a number, a spin plate located at the center of the hexagon, where the spin plate is configured to rotate, and a plurality of directional lines connecting the plurality of corners and midpoints to a center of the mat.

According to one aspect of the presently disclosed subject there is provided a computerized method for scoring performance of a move of a trainee in a trainee frame input in relation to a move of a trainer in a trainer video wherein the trainer move includes at least one trainer keyframe. The method comprising obtaining a trainee frame input comprising a trainee move, the trainee move comprising a plurality of trainee frames, based on the at least one trainer keyframe, processing the plurality of trainee frames to provide a move performance score, indicative of the performance of the trainee move in relation to the trainer move, with respect to at least one aspect of the performance. In some examples, the aspects can be one of a similarity aspect, a timing aspect, or a motion dynamics aspect or a combination thereof.

A display method for outputting a result of scoring for a performance of a scoring competition, the display method includes obtaining input information regarding to the scoring competition, obtaining a recognition result of a plurality of elements included in the performance, determining a difficulty level of each of the plurality of elements based on the recognition result and a first rule, limiting a target to be used for the scoring to a part of the plurality of elements according to the difficulty level of each of the plurality of elements, and outputting a scoring screen that includes a first display area displaying the plurality of elements and the difficulty level, a second display area for an aggregate result, third display area for a score of the performance directed to the limited part of the elements, and a fourth display area for a 3D model of the athlete.

Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method for providing real-time virtual feedback using an electronic device. The method includes receiving, by the electronic device, motion data of each segment in a multi-segment body part of a first user. Further, the method includes determining, by the electronic device, a posture information of each of the segment in the multi-segment body part based on the motion data of each of the segment in the multi-segment body part of the first user. Further, the method includes determining, by the electronic device, a degree of similarity between the posture information of each of the segment in the multi-segment body part of the first user and a posture information of each segment in a multi-segment body part of a second user. Further, the method includes providing, by the electronic device, a virtual feedback to the first user based on the degree of similarity.

A motion sensing data collecting system including: a plurality of user terminal ends each having a wearable sensing device for sensing a set of motion data of a motion combination; and a central control platform communicating with the user terminal ends via an internet to enable the user terminal ends to upload plural sets of motion data of the motion combinations, where the plural sets of motion data are stored in a memory unit, and one set of motion data corresponding to an aforementioned motion combination required by a user terminal end will be selected from the plural sets of motion data and sent to the user terminal end.

Aspects describe capturing the dynamic movement of one or more leaders and generating stimulus signals in real time for one or more followers to perform substantially the same movement. A model of each follower is optionally employed to transform the observed movement of a leader to a series of movement cues that will overcome any follower physical and cognitive limitations while maximizing the movement compliance and benefit from the directed movement. Also provided is the capability of establishing a library of therapeutic, fitness, rehabilitation or dance movement scripts that may be replayed at the follower’s convenience without a leader present. Additionally, one aspect provides for continually monitoring follower movement to detect unstable movement, an increased likelihood of a fall and gait anomalies and initiating a stimulus pattern to reduce the chance of a fall or injury.
