📌 Project Overview

Dance training relies heavily on visual observation and verbal correction. However, in full classes, teachers are unable to provide consistent personalised feedback to every student. As a result, technique errors often go unnoticed or are quickly forgotten, leading to repeated mistakes and increased risk of injury.

There is currently no accessible system within dance studios that provides real-time, individualised technique feedback or highlights potential injury risks for every dancer.

🚨 The Problem in Dance Training

• Eight in 10 dancers in the United Kingdom experience at least one injury each year that affects their ability to perform.
• Dance teachers can’t watch everyone at once in full classes.
• Many technique mistakes go unnoticed (e.g. turnout, alignment, landings, posture, spotting, spacing).
• Students don’t always realise when they are performing movements incorrectly and therefore repeat the same mistakes.
• Teachers can become overwhelmed correcting every student individually.
• Some technique issues directly contribute to injury (e.g. poor landings, twisting knees, poor balance).
• There is currently nothing in dance studios that provides in-depth real-time feedback or injury risk awareness for every student.
• Students often forget verbal corrections unless written down or recorded.

Students aren’t getting enough personalised feedback.

Teachers can’t catch everything.

Injury risks go unnoticed.
