As digital content, DVD and some new computer device which we developed was used. This device works to observe movement and compare a skilled person and student using game controller with 3D-CG animation. Using this device collected data with motion capture system, we can zoom, change angle, place one animation figure to top of another.
From results of a questionnaire, most of students have positive impression using digital contents, because they recognized as that kinds of contents work well to remember some phrase of dance movement, practice repetition exactly timing for learning as they like.
