Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors are being increasingly used to detect human gestures and movements. Using a single IMU sensor, whole body movement recognition remains a hard problem because movements may not be adequately captured by the sensor. In this paper, we present a whole body movement detection study using a single smart watch in the context of ballroom dancing. Deep learning representations are used to classify well-defined sequences of movements, called figures. Those representations are found to outperform ensembles of random forests and hidden Markov models. The classification accuracy of 85.95% was improved to 92.31% by modeling a dance as a first-order Markov chain of figures and correcting estimates of the immediately preceding figure.
