Description The goal of this study was to gain knowledge of the kinematic structure of the dance figure Fleckerl dance Viennese Waltz (standard dances). Then we try to document the variations in the technique in two levels of performance presented by pairs, one represented the highest per- formance Class „S“ in dance sport and the second pair was for medium performance Class „B“. For recording we used two high-speed cameras Basler A602FC and Simi Motion Markers. The processing and evaluation of the kinematic parameters we obtained by using the software Simi Motion 3D created by German company SIMI Reality Motion Systems GmbH. We focused on key moments – arrival (touch) the ground and rebound (take off) in selected dance steps. Afterwards we compared the two different performance classes at selected moments of the movement. For evaluation of movement we used the method of expert evaluation realized by dance sport judges with the highest international judge license in order to ascertain (to be sure) whether dance fig- ure was done correctly from technical aspects of the movement.
