In this paper, we present a novel application for interactive, 3D visualization of folk dances based on motion capture data set. A pilot user study was conducted, comparing the educative potential of the application with a classic video recording of dance performance. After the training phase, the dance performances of ten participants were ranked by the professional dancer. The results of the study presented in this paper indicate the potential of our approach for learning purposes.  a21945357 (ISSN); 9783030119348 (ISBN)
