# πΊ DanceDynamics
AI-Powered Dance Movement Analysis System
## π― Overview
The **DanceDynamics** is a production-ready web application that uses AI-powered pose detection to analyze dance movements in real-time. Built with MediaPipe, FastAPI, and modern web technologies, it provides comprehensive movement analysis with an intuitive glassmorphism user interface.
### What It Does
- π₯ **Upload** dance videos (MP4, WebM, AVI up to 100MB)
- π€ **Analyze** movements using MediaPipe Pose Detection (33 keypoints)
- π·οΈ **Classify** 5 movement types (Standing, Walking, Dancing, Jumping, Crouching)
- π€ **Track** 6 body parts with individual activity scores
- π΅ **Detect** rhythm patterns and estimate BPM
- π **Visualize** skeleton overlay on processed video
- π₯ **Download** analyzed videos with comprehensive metrics
## β¨ Key Features
### **Advanced Pose Detection**
- **33 Body Keypoints**: Full-body tracking with MediaPipe Pose
- **Real-time Processing**: 0.8-1.2x realtime processing speed
- **Confidence Scoring**: Color-coded skeleton based on detection confidence
- **Smooth Overlay**: Anti-aliased skeleton rendering on original video
### **Movement Classification**
- **5 Movement Types**: Standing, Walking, Dancing, Jumping, Crouching
- **Intensity Scoring**: 0-100 scale for movement intensity
- **Body Part Tracking**: Individual activity scores for head, torso, arms, legs
- **Smoothness Analysis**: Jerk-based movement quality assessment
### **Rhythm Analysis**
- **BPM Detection**: Automatic beat estimation for rhythmic movements
