Popis: Indian Classical Dance (ICD) is a living heritage of India. Traditionally Gurus (teachers) are the custodians of this heritage. They practice and pass on the legacy through their Shishyas (disciples), often in undocumented forms. The preservation of the heritage, thus, remains limited in time and scope. Emergence of digital multimedia technology has created the opportunity to preserve heritage by ensuring that it can be accessible over a long period of time. However, there have been only limited attempts to use effective technologies either in the pedagogy of learning dance or in the preservation of heritage of ICD. In this context, the paper presents NrityaGuru – a tutoring system for Bharatanatyam – a form of ICD. Using Kinect Xbox to capture dance videos in multi-modal form, we design a system that can help a learner dancer identify deviations in her dance postures and movements against the prerecorded benchmark performances of the tutor (Guru).
