[en] The purpose of this project is to provide a method and a software for browsing a dance video database. This work has been done in collaboration with the artistic project 'DANCERS!'. A set of features describing dance are proposed, to quantify the gesture of the dancer, the usage of its personal space, the occupation of the stage and the temporal structure of the choreography. These quantities are extracted using the EyesWeb XMI platform, to which new features were added. The description of the video is used to compute the similarity between the dancers and then to help the exploration of the database. The management of the video and feature collection is done using the Mediacycle software which has been extended from sounds and images to videos databases.
