## What is Ballet Atlas?

Ballet Atlas is a visual reference for classical ballet. Look up a movement, a position, a step, a turn, and study it on an anatomically faithful 3D figure you can rotate to any angle, slow down, and scrub frame by frame.

It answers the question a book or a video never quite can: what is the body actually doing? See the turnout, the line, the timing, and the weight, from the front, the side, or three-quarter, at whatever speed you need.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 100+ movements across the pillars of technique: positions, barre, centre, pointe, turns, and orientations (with more to come)
• A true-to-anatomy 3D figure you can orbit, zoom, slow down, and scrub
• A dedicated pointe section, modeled on the shoe's real platform geometry: sous-sus, échappé, piqué, bourrée suivie and more
• Steps with two genuine forms let you flip between them in 3D: the sliding and the springing chassé, the RAD and the Vaganova frappé
• French and English names for every step, plus a built-in glossary
• How each movement is named and shaped across the major schools (Vaganova, RAD, Cecchetti, French)
• Clear cues, and callouts for the mistakes dancers actually make
• A metronome to set the tempo
• Works fully offline, with no account and no sign-in

WHO IT'S FOR
Students building their vocabulary, teachers preparing a class, adult beginners who want to see a step done correctly, and anyone who loves ballet and wants to understand how it works.

FREE TO EXPLORE
Start free with 20 movements, the whole foundation of a class. Unlock the full library once, and it is yours to keep, including every movement we add later.

Ballet Atlas is a study aid, not a substitute for a qualified teacher. Always warm up, work within your ability, and seek in-person instruction.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-08

Movements now play the moment you open them, and every entry shows its pronunciation and meaning right under the title. Small polish throughout.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-08

Minor improvements and polish, with refreshed previews across the whole atlas.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-02

A redesigned home, and a figure that casts a shadow.
• New home screen: the library is now sorted into categories (positions, barre, centre, turns, pointe, and jumps), so the movement you want is a tap or two away instead of a long scroll. Famous steps like arabesque and grand jeté are right up front.
• The 3D figure now casts a real floor shadow, so you can read a jump's height and a pose's balance at a glance. Toggle it anytime in Settings.
• A warmer, cleaner dark mode for the figure and the studio.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-24

Thank you. This update comes straight from your feedback on the new tempo control.
• The metronome click now stays locked to the dancer's beat, so they never drift apart.
• Changing the tempo or tapping a preset no longer cuts the click out.
• Every movement and form now clicks at its own correct tempo.
Keep the notes coming. They shape what we fix next.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-22

New: one tempo control for everything.
• Set an exact tempo in bpm that drives the dancer, the metronome click, and the beat chip together, with no drift.
• Quick ½×, 1×, and 1½× speeds, plus a precise stepper and presets in the tempo chip.
• Playback controls now dock below the figure with a show or hide toggle, so they never cover it.
Thanks for the feedback that shaped this update.
