## What is Ballroom Competition Trainer L?

Ballroom Competition Trainer is a valuable tool for the dedicated Ballroom Dancer, who wishes to prepare for e.g. a competition final in the most realistic musical settings. 

Without Ballroom Competition Trainer, preparing the proper music for training sessions can be difficult and tedious. You may be spending a lot of time in various music editing applications, trimming your songs to a given duration, and afterwards arranging them in a fixed playlist. 

Worst of all: This means that you will often end up practicing to the same songs in the same order session after session. This again means that you will not be trained for a competition setting in which you don't know what music will be played. 

Furthermore, this approach is inflexible. Imagine that for one session you might like to dance 1:30 minutes of each dance, but for the next session you would like to dance 2:00 minutes. You would probably need to redo the entire music editing procedure to construct a new playlist. 

Ballroom Competition Trainer is completely on-the-fly configurable, and eliminates all these downsides of having to prepare your music. 

App features include: 

- 6 pre-defined sessions (Standard WDSF/WDC, Latin WDSF/WDC, Smooth and Rhythm) 
- Specify durations for the steps in your sequence
- Assign playlists, albums, genres or songs from your iTunes library to each of your dances
- Random selection of songs for each step (no two training sessions will be the same) 
- Post your completed Session Readout to Facebook or Twitter to let your friends know how serious you are about practicing
- In-app instructions, helping you through the initial app configuration 

Once you have configured genres for each of your dances, all of the above features can be controlled on an ad-hoc basis, and adjusted within seconds during your training sessions. This enables you to focus on perfecting your dancing skills, rather than acting as a DJ.

## Key features

- Pre-defined competition sessions
- Customizable step durations
- Assign music by playlist, album, genre, or song
- Random song selection for each step
- Session readout sharing
- In-app instructions

### 1/5 — Totally worthless

*2022-09-14*

This app does not work with music from Apple Music or Spotify playlists. Even after downloading the songs, it will not recognize them as valid files. You must literally purchase each song or rip from CDs. You are much better off just searching for rounds on YouTube than using this app. Great idea, poor execution. I wish the developer would fix this problem.

**Developer response:** I am sorry the app is not to your liking. The problem with the streaming services is that is is not possible to adjust the tempo of songs, and also not to rely on tag information regarding tempo - which is a crucial point for this app.

Best regards,
Claus

### 3/5 — Tolle App aber...

*2019-10-05*

... leider ist der Regler zum Einstellen der Musikgeschwindigkeit so weit unten am Bildschirm platziert, dass man ihn nicht bewegen kann, sondern sofort die App schließt (jedenfalls auf meinem iPhone XS Max).

**Developer response:** I am sorry to hear about your problem. Could you please try to send a screenshot to app_developer@krogholm-it.dk, so I can see the problem? Just tried on an iPhone XS Max, and it looked OK? Best regards, Claus

### 5/5 — Great ballroom practice app

*2019-04-15*

What a great app!  You can determine the length of the music, how long each song will be, and use your own music. I’m so glad I found it.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review - I am glad you like the app!

Best regards,
Claus
