It has been transmitted from generation to generation, and to different countries, mainly due to movements of people carrying and disseminating their civilization. However, folk dancing, amongst other intangible heritage, is at high risk of disappearing due to wars, the moving of populations, economic crises, modernization, but most importantly, because these fragile creations have been modified over time through the process of collective recreation, and/or changes in the way of life. In this tutorial, we show how the European Project, SCHEDAR, exploited emerging technologies to digitize, analyze, and holistically document our intangible heritage creations, that is a critical necessity for the preservation and the continuity of our identity as Europeans.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Computing methodologies --> Computer graphics; Animation; Motion processing; Mixed / augmented reality; Virtual reality; Learning paradigmsComputing methodologiesComputer graphicsAnimationMotion processingMixed / augmented realityVirtual realityLearning paradigmsSafeguarding our Dance Cultural Heritage10.2312/egt.20221055
