SoDA: Social Dance App

The capabilities of technology today has allowed for ease of storing and retrieval of dance media files. However, due to the rich semantic content of dance media files and the volume of dance media available, it becomes a challenge to search a database for specific dance content. To attempt to solve this problem we developed a mobile dance application (MetaDance) that documents Latin dance based on user annotations and a system (DanceBase) to allow users to search dance content. It is intended for dancers or users of the application to be able to retrieve dance content enabling a recall in order to perform the dance move retrieved, through searching annotations and other keywords with the help of query expansion techniques.
