Question

I have video files, in which dance lecturers performs some variations. To learn these variations, it would be effective to play some video file with following features:

create markers in a video for individual variations, for example: from 00:03 to 00:17 - Sombrero de Lucy, from 00:19 to 00:26 - Cuban Guapea, from 00:30 to 00:41 - Enchufala con Bikini
play selected variation (fragment in a movie) in loop
play selected variation in slow motion

Could you recommend me some video player (or video sequencer / editor) with these or similar features? It can be for Linux or Windows, at best for free.

Explanation / Answer

Kdenlive should do the trick for you. It's a feature rich non linear video editor for Linux distros (preferably based on KDE). It's very simple to learn and has the ability to rename and put marks on clips, and have the slow motion effect. To make the loop that you want, I suggest to you to edit the video clip I'm a way that makes you happy with the result, and then copy and paste it in the timeline until you reach the result that you want.
