BRACE (The Breakdancing Competition Dataset for Dance Motion Synthesis)
BRACE is a dataset for audio-conditioned dance motion synthesis challenging common assumptions for this task:
- strong music-dance correlation
- controlled motion data
- simple poses and movements
To address these issues:
- We focus on breakdancing which features acrobatic moves, tangled postures and weaker dance-music correlation.
- We adopt a hybrid labelling pipeline leveraging estimation models as well as manual annotations to obtain good quality keypoint sequences at a reduced cost.
- Our efforts produced the BRACE dataset, which contains over 3 hours and 30 minutes of densely annotated poses.
- BRACE is also useful to fine-tune pose-estimation models thanks to its high quality keypoint annotations for complicated and uncommon poses.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
4 shown of 4 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 5. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
