ABSTRACT:
A device is provided which permits the user to learn to dance without substantial need to concentrate on understanding the order of foot positions from a complex diagram, but rather by immediately understanding the foot positions, thus permitting the user to focus his/her concentration on learning the foot positions and resulting in efficient dance instruction. The device includes a progress controller 1 formed as a microprocessor or the like, a display such as a liquid crystal display, a mode setter 2 constructed as a track pad and also icons, buttons and a list displayed on the screen of the display 6. The hardware of the device can be embodied as a light-weight notebook-type personal computer of about A5-type. The progress controller 1 reads foot position data of a figure selected by a figure selection switch c of the mode setter 2 from a figure memory M2, reads a foot position pattern represented by the foot position data from the foot position memory M1, and supplies the foot position data to the display 6 for display on the display screen. Also, the progress controller 1 reads a still or moving image of a dance from a still or moving image memory M4 and M5 and displays the data in superimposition over the foot positions.
