Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) have developed technology that can alter dance videos to make amateur dance moves seem more advanced.

The technology can transfer video of one person's movements onto video of another person's movements, a process known as "do as I do" motion transfer.

The framework can create a variety of videos, enabling untrained amateurs to spin and twirl like ballerinas, perform martial arts kicks, or dance like pop stars, according to the researchers.

Currently, the technology is only available to a few individuals and is difficult to operate unless the user knows how to navigate the complex code.

The researchers are working to make the framework accessible to the public.
