Read full description

Track your dances during ballroom training including latin dances like Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Samba, Paso Doble and standard dances like Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Slow Foxtrot and Vienesse Waltz. Start and save workouts from your Apple Watch. Visualize your progress and training data right in Ballroom Tracker. FEATURES: • Record Dance Workouts right from your Apple Watch (required) • Detailed workout info for danced dances, heart rate and calories burned • Ability to add notes to dance sessions - never forget which figures and routines were taught • Cumulative graph of most-danced dances for standard and latin dances • Most active days graph • Respects your privacy • Made by an indie developer from Aachen in Germany PRIVATE WITH NO ADS: Ballroom Tracker is supposed to help you get the most out of your training. Ads only get in the way of that. We also do not collect private data and sell this. We do, however, keep anonymized logs by default about certain actions users do in the app, to help us make better decisions about which features of the app are most liked and which need more work. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Ballroom Tracker works with the Health data stored by the Ballroom Tracker app on your Apple Watch. Therefore, you require an Apple Watch to use this app. Dance workouts from other apps cannot be viewed in the app, since they do not include info about dances and other info the Ballroom Tracker app collects.

About

Dance Practice Tracker & Diary

Features
Read full description

Every practice session you don't write down disappears. DanceLog is a practice diary for dancers: log the style, the minutes, how it felt and what you drilled — then watch your streak and your weekly hours build, session by session. This is not a learn-to-dance app and not a dance workout. It is a rehearsal log built around one job: keeping you consistent. The streak is computed the way dancers actually practise — a 30-day run doesn't collapse to zero just because you haven't danced yet today. Rest days show up as real gaps in the chart instead of being quietly squeezed out. WHAT YOU GET • Open the app and your streak is the first thing you see — plus this week's minutes, sessions and styles, before a single tap • Log a session in seconds: pick one of 8 styles from Salsa to Ballet, set the minutes and your mood, and jot what you drilled • A 14-day trend chart that shows every day — so a sporadic month can't disguise itself as a solid fortnight • A weekly goal ring: set your minutes-per-week target and watch it fill as the week goes on • Time by style: see that Bachata got 6 hours this month while Ballet got 40 minutes, and rebalance • Style insights that flag neglect — "3 weeks since Tango" before your partner has to say it PERFECT FOR • Social dancers juggling salsa and bachata nights who want proof they're improving • Ballet and contemporary students tracking studio classes and home practice together • Ballroom couples logging rehearsals in the run-up to a competition or showcase • Choreographers who need a dated note of what each rehearsal actually covered WHY NOT JUST A NOTES APP? A note can't count a streak, sum your minutes for the week or chart your last fortnight. And it will never tap you on the shoulder to say it's been three weeks since you touched Swing. DanceLog does the arithmetic so your notes become a record of progress, not just a pile of text. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your sessions live in local storage on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no cloud. Your entire log exports to CSV whenever you want it — it is your practice record, and it stays yours. FULL ACCESS There is no free tier and no trial: a purchase opens the whole app, including the weekly goal ring, the 14-day trend chart, the time-by-style breakdown and style insights. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Log tonight's practice — the streak starts with one session.
