Analysis of dance steps based on kinetic differential equations

Author(s): Zhanjun Yang

For the “walking step” movement in square dance, this paper conducts kinetic study to explore the mechanical characteristics and the fitness value of the project. First the human body can be seen as systemcomposed of the 17 rigid bodies; it uses the oval shape to present the human body’s multi-rigid-body topology, builds systematic kinetic equations for the 17 rigid bodies, and finally conducts the simulation calculation during the walking step process. Through data simulation results, analyzing the kinetic parameters variation for various parts of the human body during “walking step” process provides theoretical discussion for the video learning of square dance.
