Method and Set-Up A 9’ 8”X 9’ 3” rectangle was marked on the floor by tape for the dancers to dance in. Two video cameras were set up, one to the side and one in front. Times were measured by starting and stopping the videos in Windows Live Movie Maker. Angles were calculated by taking a snapshot of a certain point in the video and transferring the image to Image. J. The angle was measured and transferred into a Microsoft Excel file.

Conclusion How do various angles and their timings effect the different styles of dance? As time decreases, the angles increase, therefore, causing a fluctuation in the results. The effect of age, height, and experience does not have an effect on dance. Every person’s body can do different things.
