Summary/Abstract: By creating this application we intended to realize: a. a unitary database for the dance practitioners and for the specialists in the dance sport domain; b. a platform easy to use by those mentioned above, to access the figures of dance sport; c. a way to allow all the dancers and specialists, equally, to bring their contribution to the development of the dance; d. a unitary and coherent evaluating database of the dancers by the judges. So, we have estimated that this application will have a beneficial effect of training the dancers, helping them to learn the figures and the necessary technique to realize them. We have also started from the premise that it will be a tool for the dance instructors, trainers and choreographers, to whom will facilitate the selection of the dance figures and the construction of the choreography. It will create a common language and a unique evaluating system of the dancers, by the judges, during the competitions. It will allow to all the people involved in dance, to bring their contribution to its development and evolution. The application was intended to be a tool for those who want to learn, to participate in the exams and training programs, organized by RDSF and by the Ministry of Education and Sports. The users aim to be instructors, trainers or judges. The application was created as a single page application. It was written using HTML 5 and JavaScript programming language with mvc technology (model-view-controller) and it uses a MySQL database. It was posted on a public server, the access being made by using a password. Each of the RDSF boards and colleges ordered a group of specialists which had access to this password, through which they accessed the information from the application. Therefore, they had the opportunity to access the information, modifying the parameters of the dance figures, according to their personal experience and imagination. In this manner, there have resulted changes of the parameters of the figures, making them more dynamic and look more expressive and interesting.
