Abstract
The study investigated body inclination angle and motion variation for skilled dancers in the triple pirouette. Eleven skilled female ballet dancers were asked to perform the triple pirouette. A three-dimensional motion capture system was used to calculate the body inclination angle and direction angles of the body segment vectors for evaluating the motion variation of the body segments. Maintaining a small body inclination angle during the triple pirouette, they showed a high commonality of the segment motions in the left shank and left thigh of the support leg as well as the upper and lower torso, while a high individuality was observed in the upper limbs, which would relate to artistic expression and attribute to the skilfulness of dances.
