Cadance is the music player built for dance teachers. Change tempo without changing pitch. Control your class from your Apple Watch. Lock your screen against accidental taps. Use music from your iPhone library, your own files, and Apple Music content. Built for teaching • Adjust tempo in real time while preserving pitch. • Keep playback, repeat, volume, ducking, timing, and active-track controls close at hand. • Use Apple Watch and compatible Bluetooth remotes for hands-free class control. • Bring in your own music, playlists, PDFs, images, text, video, and structured Syllabus material. Teacher Notebook Keep class notes with the music they belong to. Create typed notes or handwritten pages, organize them in folders, sync them across your devices, and share them as Cadance notes or readable exports. Link notes to music Copy a portable track link from any track's Actions menu, then paste it into a typed note or place it on a handwritten page. Tap the link later to return to that track. Links travel with shared notes and find the best available match on another device. Stay with the music Cadance makes it easier to stay oriented while you teach. Return to the playing track in albums, playlists, and Syllabus material. On iPad, keep a Teacher Notebook note or class document beside the live player, or use Focus Player for a dedicated playback view. Your music, your workflow Cadance works with local files, your device library, playlists, and eligible Apple Music content. The Syllabus gives structured teaching material a dedicated home, while Imported Items lets you review shared or dropped-in files before deciding whether they belong in Music or the Syllabus.

I just used Cadance to choreograph a Jazz routine and teach a group of absolute beginners with a section of Chemical Brother’s “Go”. The Focus Player mode was so handy and easy to use and I couldn’t have accomplished the whole teaching and filming under 2 hours without it! The tempo control, the delay start, the repeat gap and the looping functions saves ton of time or walking back and forth. It gave me time to walk into my position and everyone breather to get ready and start. The looping was so needed and convenient for multiple takes with different angles. Cadance is the best companion for choreography, practising dance routine, rehearsal, teaching and anything dance! **Developer response:** So happy to hear this - thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app!! *2026-05-01* I am a full time dance teacher and I cannot live without this app in class. Great step up from BarreNotes and love the new functions. **Developer response:** I’m pleased that you are pleased! ### 4/5 — Julia *2026-04-30* Thank you for Cadance! So great to have this new version of Barre Notes! Please can there be a Search button and please can we choose which albums to set up in Favourites ahead of using the album. Otherwise, very happy thank you! **Developer response:** We will be moving towards the new UI standards set by Apple, primarily for the Search button, so yes yes yes! For now, the search field lives at the top of the center tab and it is currently better than we had in BarreNotes. But this needs to search the Apple Music catalog too in order to fully utilize that resource. To configure albums and playlists to appear in the favorites tab, open one and tap the heart outline in the header. After that it will drift up based on your usage. Long press on the actual favorites card for options that include removal of that card. It’s been difficult to keep the documentation and video tutorials up-to-date, so thanks for the feedback on topics I must cover! ### 5/5 — Great for teaching dance class *2026-03-30* This is so helpful! All my music is organized and easy to access. The ability to change tempo of each individual selection is great. **Developer response:** Does the concept of Set Lists interest you? I’d be happy to hear your thoughts via email. ### 5/5 — This is a Must Have app for dance teachers *2026-02-28* I use this app 5-6 hours a day, 6 days a week. It’s my music control centre for teaching classes, running rehearsals and for performances. It keeps my music organized, allows me to adjust playback speeds as needed and even has a metronome feature for when I just need a steady beat. I can’t imagine teaching without it on my devices. ### 5/5 — Just get this! *2026-02-09* I've been teaching ballet for over 50 years and can't now imagine doing it without this app. First BarreNotes and now this great expansion of that. Seriously, if you're a teacher of dance then this is the way to go. ### 5/5 — Barrenotes is back *2026-02-06* So pleased to see the new iteration of BarreNotes. What an incredible update. Brilliant for all my teaching needs **Developer response:** As a student in your open classes at SDC, I’m so glad you gave it a try. The difference between this and the spotified experience is just as stark as I was hoping. The music friction has vanished letting the class stay focus on dance instruction. Thanks for the watch feedback, without your input it might not have been possible. ## Frequently asked questions about Cadance Dance Syllabus Tempo ### What is Cadance?

Tap it later to play that track again. • Take your notes with you: track links travel with shared .cadnote files and find the best available match on another device. • Stay with the music: albums, playlists, and Syllabus collections now make it easier to return to the active track while playback continues. • Improved teaching layouts: keep a Teacher Notebook note or Syllabus document beside the live player. Focus Player, repeat gaps, scrubbing, and playback feedback have also been refined. • A more responsive library: smoother scrolling and more reliable handling of large Apple Music playlists, offline playlists, imports, and playback startup. • Refreshed Cadance controls across the player, library, Teacher Notebook, and Apple Watch. • Watch support for Perfect Practice Playlist, Focus Player and track markers. Plus reliability, stability, playback, and iPad layout improvements throughout the app. ### 5.1 — 2026-06-20 Cadance 5.1 makes it easier to get started, easier to bring in your own material, and gives you more control the moment you tap a track. Visual Tour A new Visual Tour on the Favorites tab walks you through Cadance one short topic at a time, so new teachers can get up and running quickly. No Autostart The repeat menu now offers "No Autostart" alongside "No Repeat". With No Autostart, tapping a track loads it paused at the beginning so you can set the tempo before the music starts — ideal when you want a moment to prepare. Play All and Shuffle still start playing immediately. Your choice is remembered. More of your own material in the Syllabus You can now import loose PDFs, images, text notes, and videos into your Syllabus, not just audio and folders. When you import, Cadance asks "Music or Syllabus?" up front and routes each item directly — no extra steps. Imported Items A new "Imported Items" area gathers everything that's been shared to Cadance, AirDropped, or dropped in via the Files app, and lets you send each item to Music or the Syllabus yourself. Nothing is filed away automatically. A smoother scrubber The playback position now glides smoothly between updates instead of stepping, with a refreshed position thumb and loop markers shared across the inline and Focus players. Fixes and improvements • Fixed an iPad crash when resizing the PDF pane in split view. • Improved layouts on narrow iPad windows and split view. • Stability and reliability improvements across playback and the library. ### 5.0 — 2026-06-05 Cadance 5.0 introduces the Syllabus browser — a faster way to teach from your own structured material. • Syllabus browser: import zipped syllabus and exercise collections and browse them by section on the Favorites tab. Cadance automatically organizes folders into clean, playable track lists. • Play any syllabus track with real-time tempo change (no pitch shift), and control it from your Apple Watch or a Bluetooth remote. • Open in Focus Player from anywhere: Patrons and Day Pass users can now open any track in the distraction-free Focus Player without using a Practice slot. • Unified track menu: a single, consistent track-actions menu across albums, playlists, files, and the Syllabus. • Practice Pass improvements: a Practice Pass summary in Settings, more reliable cross-device slot syncing, and "Open in source" now jumps straight to the right album or syllabus. • Playlist import: streamlined Apple Music playlist importing that preserves the original owner and stays in sync across renames and folder moves. • Refreshed app icon and Apple Watch complication, plus assorted layout, stability, and clarity fixes. Thank you for teaching with Cadance. Questions or feedback are always welcome. ### 4.9 — 2026-05-31 Perfect Practice Pass is here. • Focus Player: a distraction-free, full-screen practice view built for repeating and drilling a single track over 30 days. Designed for dancers, not just teachers. • A/B loop markers: set two points on the timeline and loop just that section — perfect for nailing a tricky passage. These look like hearts with a down arrow (think needle down on a vinyl record track, and up arrow (think of the playback needle on a vinyl record being lifted off the track). • Repeat ladder with optional delay-start and pause-between-repeats, so you can set up and reset between runs. • Unlock any track for focused practice with a Practice Pass. New users get one free pass to try it out. • Activate the wrong track? You can swap it out twice. • Need more time with the track? Extend it at any time. • Patron subscribers can now open tracks directly in the Focus Player and get endless Practice Passes. Plus reliability improvements to library loading and a smoother start of playback over Bluetooth. BT Remote Overlay on iPad now supports Playlists. We've received a few reports of content (artwork, track lists, songs) not loading and the app showing endless busy indicator on several screens. This build has significant changes to fix this and new debugging tools to help us squash anything that remains. If any such problems linger after the 4.9 update, contact support so that we can help. ### 4.8 — 2026-05-17 Cadance 4.8 brings a major reliability and pricing update. Quick Fix in 1143 to make Apple Music preview banner overlap on iPad dismissible. • New Day Pass system — your Day Pass balance now syncs reliably across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch using your Apple ID. Buying a pack of passes shows up everywhere within seconds. • 14 free Day Passes for new users on first launch. • Fixed: iPhone freezes after rapid Apple Watch track navigation that could leave the play button disabled. The app now recovers within seconds even on slow networks or when Apple Music is mid-sync. • Fixed: tab bar dead zones on iPhone 17 — Library, Playlists, and Favorites tabs are now fully tappable across the entire tab. • Fixed: imported playlists from Apple Music or your Music Library now correctly preserve the original curator and mark themselves "(syncable copy)" — they no longer look like Cadance-authored playlists. • Fixed: buying a Day Pass pack no longer occasionally inflates the balance. • Fixed: stalled iOS Music library no longer leaves Albums, Artists, or Music Playlists spinning forever. You'll now see a clear "Library unavailable" message with a Retry button. • Customer Center is now accessible from Settings → Manage Subscription even without an active subscription, so Day Pass users have full account access. • Apple Watch active-row controls now disable correctly while a track is loading, preventing accidental impatient taps. Smaller fixes, performance improvements, and behind-the-scenes refactoring throughout. ## Apps similar to Cadance Dance Syllabus Tempo | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Ballet Class](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ballet-class/id533803475) | 3.8 (77) | Free | Music | | [Grooves: Song Speed Changer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/grooves-song-speed-changer/id592398757) | 3.7 (94) | $4.99 | Music | | [TimePitch-Pitch, Speed Changer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/timepitch-pitch-speed-changer/id1039713963) | 4.6 (1,937) | Free | Music | | [Amazing Slow Downer Lite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/amazing-slow-downer-lite/id310204778) | 2.7 (111) | Free | Music | | [Anytune: Transcribe & Practice](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/anytune-transcribe-and-practice/id415365180) | 4.8 (8,454) | Free | Music | | [AudioTweak: Change Music Speed](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/audiotweak-change-music-speed/id1546870809) | 4.5 (588) | Free | Music | ## More apps by David Wilson - [SteadyPulse Placebo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/steadypulse-placebo/id6784829382) All apps by David Wilson: https://appshunter.io/developer/1825770160 ## Related topics [dance arena player](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/dance-arena-player) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
