The role of street dance in developing psychomotor skills and creativity of students

Given the premise that dance is an activity suitable for integration in Physical Education and Sport classes, we aimed to test this by implementing teaching projects incorporating elements of Street Dance. Similar to other sports, which rely on motor skills and actions, only in this case mostly performed to music, Street Dance can bring countless benefits to a person's life. Whether we are talking about psychomotor or cognitive skills, the literature argues that dance can be a valuable tool for improving them. Considering the novelty that Street Dance represents, and its ongoing evolution, coupled with the increasing attraction of young people to this dance style, we considered this research to be beneficial. The study was carried out in a secondary school in Bucharest, Sector 3, and the 17 participants were 8th grade students. As part of the research, we used the RCMV computerized test, which helped us to investigate the reactivity, hand-foot coordination and vigilance of the subjects. Also, creativity was explored through a test consisting of geometric figures, adapted by Mihaela Roco. The statistically significant differences (Wilcoxon test was used) allow us to say that the improvements achieved are not random, but are also due to the exercise programme intervention.

Fluid Forms of Organizing Volunteering: Producing Civic Action Through Organizational Maintenance

This article explores the evolving nature of volunteering in fluid forms of organizing and their potential for civic action. While previous research suggests that highly individualized volunteering can undermine collectivity and disconnect tasks from change-oriented goals, thus diminishing its civic character, this study employs Lichterman and Eliasoph’s conceptual framework of civic action and Dewey’s concept of ends-in-view to demonstrate how civic action arises in fluid forms of organizing through the ongoing coordination of organizational maintenance. Drawing on an 18-month ethnographic study of female breakers aiming to improve women’s access to a male-dominated street dance scene, we find that fluid organizing produces a distinct form of volunteering that invigorates a collective and change-oriented endeavor. Our findings highlight the importance of understanding and investigating new contexts and forms of volunteering to shed new light on contemporary volunteerism, its multifaceted nature, and its potential to mobilize collective efforts for societal change.

Many program formats are shifting from traditional variety shows to online variety shows as internet technology continues to develop. Online video platforms, led by iQiyi, have focused their content creation on the market for online self-produced variety shows. In many fields, program teams and directors choose youth subculture as the core creative concept of the programs. Different audience groups can find organizations and be entertained within their respective niches. In this thesis, we will take two classic online subculture variety shows, U Can U BB and Street Dance of China, as examples to explore how the in-depth combination of youth subcultures and online variety shows has aroused attention and threatened mainstream culture. At the same time, mainstream ideology and capital have been incorporated into the subculture market, and the modern audiovisual industry needs to reap stable benefits from the transition. In addition, the research methods of case studies of Chinese internet variety shows and comparative analysis will be utilized, bringing new thoughts and inspiration to media practitioners and content creators.

Application of Real-time Motion Capture Technology in Street Dance Movement Analysis and Optimization

Abstract With the advancement of motion capture technology, its application in dance movement training has become increasingly prevalent. This study explores the use of real-time dynamic capture technology for the analysis and optimization of street dance movements. A street dance movement system based on real-time motion capture technology is designed. Initially, the data obtained from sensors are fused using the Extended Kalman Filtering gesture fusion algorithm to identify street dance movements. Subsequently, the gestures of the street dance movements are matched with template movements using the DTW algorithm, facilitating movement optimization. Finally, the system is scrutinized for its performance and application analysis. The number of concurrent users of the system is in the interval of [90,99], and the average response time for uploading street dance moves and street dance move evaluation is 7.631s and 0.35s, respectively, which basically meets the design objectives. The maximum error, average absolute error, and root mean square error of the pose angles solved by the algorithm in this paper do not exceed ±1.61°, 0.20°, and 0.25°, respectively, and the algorithm is highly accurate and smooth, which meets the requirements of pose solving. Through the evaluation of 12 training learning results of 6 testers, it is found that the movements of the testers are more and more similar to the template movements after several training sessions, which verifies that the system in this paper can guide the learners to learn and optimize the street dance movements.

This study aims to explore the change of dance ecosystem in Korea that is extended to digital
 content, by examining how street dance perceived as a subculture in the past has been mainstreamed by absorbing popular dance. It was discussed that street dance performed in everyday lives and digital space generates new meaning and value by combining various actors in technical, socio-cultural and dance aesthetics perspective. I conducted a literature review based on actor network theory, the concept of public sphere and discourses on the dance experience of spectatorship and participation, then also conducted in-depth interviews with six street dancers and analyzed the content.
 The findings suggest the following. Firstly, street dance is a multilayered experience converged with practical dance experience in lives and creation of dance content. Secondly, there is a shift toward a creator economy beyond the imitation. Thirdly, the integration of participation and spectatorship in battle culture and open spaces creates embodied interaction and social relationship with flow experience. It means that dancing in everyday lives and dance content in digital are interconnected and boundaries and forms of artistic and popular dance are blurred, which contributes to the revitalization and sustainability of the dance ecosystem. This study indicates the topics for the global development of K-Dance and for policy on the social value of dance.

DanceTrend: An Integration Framework of Video-Based Body Action Recognition and Color Space Features for Dance Popularity Prediction

Background: With the rise of user-generated content (UGC) platforms, we are witnessing an unprecedented surge in data. Among various content types, dance videos have emerged as a potent medium for artistic and emotional expression in the Web 2.0 era. Such videos have increasingly become a significant means for users to captivate audiences and amplify their online influence. Given this, predicting the popularity of dance videos on UGC platforms has drawn significant attention. Methods: This study postulates that body movement features play a pivotal role in determining the future popularity of dance videos. To test this hypothesis, we design a robust prediction framework DanceTrend to integrate the body movement features with color space information for dance popularity prediction. We utilize the jazz dance videos from the comprehensive AIST++ street dance dataset and segment each dance routine video into individual movements. AlphaPose was chosen as the human posture detection algorithm to help us obtain human motion features from the videos. Then, the ST-GCN (Spatial Temporal Graph Convolutional Network) is harnessed to train the movement classification models. These pre-trained ST-GCN models are applied to extract body movement features from our curated Bilibili dance video dataset. Alongside these body movement features, we integrate color space attributes and user metadata for the final dance popularity prediction task. Results: The experimental results endorse our initial hypothesis that the body movement features significantly influence the future popularity of dance videos. A comprehensive evaluation of various feature fusion strategies and diverse classifiers discern that a pre–post fusion hybrid strategy coupled with the XGBoost classifier yields the most optimal outcomes for our dataset.

A comprehensive system for 3D display: From image capture to autostereoscopic playback

The production and playback processes involved in rendering 3D content exhibit a notable degree of intricacy and inefficiency. This article presents a comprehensive array of remedies aimed at addressing challenges to the acquisition, processing, and display of such content. The proposed framework is strategically compartmentalized into three key modules: the depth map generation and optimization module, the multi-viewpoint generation and optimization module, and the 3D content encoding and display module. Within the domain of depth map generation and optimization, we introduce a self-supervised convolutional network that builds upon the PSMNet(Pyramid Stereo Matching Network) architecture. This network serves the purpose of extracting accurate depth data. In the realm of multi-viewpoint generation and optimization, we put forth a novel partial convolutional neural network founded upon the Edge-PUnet framework. This network is specifically designed to enhance virtual viewpoint images. The efficacy of the depth data generation algorithm is substantiated by achieving an Out-Noc value of 2.27% on the KITTI-2012 dataset. Furthermore, the virtual viewpoint optimization algorithm yields notable outcomes, as evidenced by attained PSNR and SSIM values of 32.688 and 0.932, respectively, in the context of a street dance sequence. In summation, the outcomes of our study suggest that the implemented system holds promise for elevating the efficiency of 3D content production while concurrently curbing associated costs.

Analysis of the characteristics of skill-based street dance movements based on the improved K-means algorithm

Abstract This paper first analyzes the K-mean algorithm from the core idea, algorithm process and advantages and disadvantages, then further improves the K-mean algorithm by using Gaussian mixture distribution and constructs the skill-based street dance movement recognition model based on the improved algorithm. Finally, the street dance teaching video is used as an example for dance movement acquisition and data pre-processing, and the recognition accuracy analysis of the street dance movement dataset is conducted based on the improved K-mean algorithm. The average recognition rates of the recognition model in the four data sets of the data set were 72.34%, 74.65%, 73.15% and 86.70%, respectively. This shows that analyzing the characteristics of street dance movements using the improved K-mean algorithm is beneficial for optimizing and improving existing street dance movements.

A Study of Subculture Based on Online Communication from the Perspective of Carnival Theory: Taking Hip-Hop Culture as an Example

As a kind of subculture that is relatively popular among young people, hip-hop culture has been developing well in the past few years with the power of internet communication. Hip-hop culture includes street dance, rap, DJ and graffiti, and has a very rebellious spirit that advocates a free and equal relationship. As for China, hip-hop culture, as an imported product, was once excluded from the mainstream system and had been growing wildly "underground" for a long time. However, in recent years, along with the broadcast of some variety shows, hip-hop culture has been presented in the discourse system of mass media based on online communication, which has attracted widespread attention. The essay includes four parts. The first part starts from the respective concepts of hip-hop culture, subculture, and rave concept, and explains their definition and the process of development respectively. The second part explains the connotation and development of hip-hop culture and subculture from the perspective of rave theory. The third part describes how the online medium has influenced cultural communication. The last part describes the process of localization and transformation of hip-hop culture in China and its current development.

Research on Digitally-empowered Street Dance Creation

As a new dance form, digitally-empowered street dance is deeply loved by young people for its unique expression and style. The form of street dance is usually rooted in cultural traditions and historical background. The integration of digital technologies in street dance can provide a way to preserve these traditional art forms and allow to achieve innovative development. Researchers can explore how digital tools, such as motion-capture systems, virtual reality, or augmented reality, can be used to document, analyze, and revitalize street dance styles. However, the development of digitally-empowered street dance is limited due to the lack of professional theoretical guidance and practical experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide more scientific and reasonable creative methods and technical support through an in-depth exploration of digitally-empowered street dance. It is to promote the development and progress of digitally-empowered street dance.

#DancingIsNotACrime: Dance as Digital Resistance in the Transnational 21st Century

In a live video posted to YouTube Sept 2 2014, a young woman, dressed in black and standing on a stationary car, dances, unwinds her hijab and fluffs her long hair. The upload, since disappeared, registered over 1 million views, and precipitated a spate of responses depicting young women dancing in public places, eventually spawning the hashtag #DancingIsNotACrime. In many cultures across many eras, dancing in public has been a tool for resistance. Those employing movement as resistance often do so precisely because street dance is portable, mutable, and infinitely viral: capable of transmission by person-to-person contact. Multiple subaltern revolutionary movements have begun in search of safe spaces for dancing, and the repression of public dance has been a locus for authoritarian crackdowns. Drawing upon methodologies from semiotics, musicology, kinesics, and political science, this essay explores #DancingIsNotACrime as a potent, present, and immediate vehicle seeking justice and social revolution.
