The main objective of this study is to digitise and preserve Malay Zapin dance movements using Motion Capture technology by recording and analyzing the dance movements in 360°. In this study, we present a primary work on recording the artistic movement’s values on Zapin Lenga dance movements using one of the Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) element, shape. The values were represented by the dancer body on angle of rotation in Motion Builder software. Findings show technology enables intangible movements to communicate in the digital age, making it an easy reference for viewers to observe and learners to emulate the movements The digital simulation of the dance movements can be virtually re-enacted in 3D software to be used in other applications such as animation and games.
