 ### Direct Use
 
 <!-- This section describes suitable use cases for the dataset. -->
+A long term goal is to develop salsa dancing humanoids that can safely and creatively dance with each other and with real humans, adapting to their partner's proficiency, using haptic signaling as a primary form of communication.

 ## Dataset Creation
 
 ### Curation Rationale
 
 <!-- Motivation for the creation of this dataset. -->
-
-[More Information Needed]
-
-### Source Data
-
-<!-- This section describes the source data (e.g. news text and headlines, social media posts, translated sentences, ...). -->
+Salsa is “arguably the world’s most popular partnered social dance form" and offers a challenging testbed for humanoid embodied interaction algorithms. 
+Communication between the leader and follower is almost entirely haptic, signaled by subtle pushes and pulls.
 
 #### Data Collection and Processing
 
 <!-- This section describes the data collection and processing process such as data selection criteria, filtering and normalization methods, tools and libraries used, etc. -->
 
-[More Information Needed]
+The data was recorded using a Vicon Motion Capture System, comprising 20 Vero MoCap cameras recording at 120 FPS within a capture volume of approximately 72 cubic meters.
+Participants wore Vicon motion capture suits equipped with 53 reflective markers using Vicon's "FrontWaist" configuration. The resulting .c3d files were converted using MOSH into SMPL-X (.npz files).
+Using witness camera recordings, the resulting SMPL-X renderings were synchronized with the audio tracks (.mp4 files)
 
 #### Who are the source data producers?
 
 <!-- This section describes the people or systems who originally created the data. It should also include self-reported demographic or identity information for the source data creators if this information is available. -->
 
-[More Information Needed]
-
-### Annotations [optional]
-
-<!-- If the dataset contains annotations which are not part of the initial data collection, use this section to describe them. -->
+Participants were recruited from a university salsa dance club as well as a professional Latin dance school. Skill levels were defined by dance experience: beginners (3-6 months), intermediates (1-3 years), and professionals (over 4 years). 
 
 #### Annotation process
 
 <!-- This section describes the annotation process such as annotation tools used in the process, the amount of data annotated, annotation guidelines provided to the annotators, interannotator statistics, annotation validation, etc. -->
 
-[More Information Needed]
+The annotations were completed using ELAN. Segmentation involved marking the start and end frames of each 8-count dance sequence, typically corresponding to a complete dance move, based solely on the musical rhythm. 
+Annotation was done using 4 annotation tracks: paired move labels, individual dancer move and styling annotations, and error classification.
 
 #### Who are the annotators?
 
 <!-- This section describes the people or systems who created the annotations. -->
-
-[More Information Needed]
+The annotator was a salsa expert with 15 years of salsa dance experience and competitive judging experience.
 
 #### Personal and Sensitive Information
 
 <!-- State whether the dataset contains data that might be considered personal, sensitive, or private (e.g., data that reveals addresses, uniquely identifiable names or aliases, racial or ethnic origins, sexual orientations, religious beliefs, political opinions, financial or health data, etc.). If efforts were made to anonymize the data, describe the anonymization process. -->
 
-[More Information Needed]
+The dataset does not contain personally identifiable data. However, the SMPL-X meshes provide estimates of body shape and sex.
 
 ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
 
 <!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->
 
-[More Information Needed]
+This dataset contains LA-style salsa dance, one of the most popular variants of salsa. Other variants exist, such as New York style and Cuban style salsa. Contact information was generated using post-processing of mesh intersections after 1-cm mesh inflations and do not reflect touch recorded from raw sensors.
 
 ### Recommendations
 
 <!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->
 
-Users should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the dataset. More information needed for further recommendations.
+When using this dataset for salsa dance generation or move recognition, users should consider the variant of salsa, similar to considering varied dialects or accents in English or other natural languages.
