Abstract(in English) We experimentally examined how the dancers synchronize their body motion to the music beats and how the audience perceive the synchrony between beats and dancers’ body motion. To be more specific, we picked up “UP” and “DOWN” movements in the street dance, and analyzed the temporal relationship between the metronome beats and the body trajectory and ground reaction force in performing these dance movements. Moreover, we examined the synchrony perception of the metronome beats and the motion of point light figure generated from the dancers’ body motion. We found that “UP” and “DOWN” movements were not the same knee bending-and-stretching actions with opposite phases, but were distinctively performed, which bought different characteristics in synchrony perception of music and body movements in dance performance.
