The relevance and robustness of pose estimation methods is of primary importance in dance movements analysis. The main objective of this keynote paper is to qualitatively compare the most recent pose estimation models for dance movements analysis and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. For this purpose, we developed a specific methodology and tools. The second objective of this paper is to discuss the interest of human body pose estimation for dance movements analyse and to show that the accuracy of body pose estimation is, in the context of dance movements analyse, important but less important than the accuracy of the dance movements modelling. Beyond these objectives, we also discuss the lack of efficient models to describe the kinematics of dance movements.
