Ballet Journal is a quiet, private journal for ballet learners. Use the monthly calendar to record every class and see your practice rhythm take shape. Save the class type, date, duration, reflections, and the details you want to improve next time. Add multiple photos and videos, then review them while the memory is still fresh. Your Ballet Term Dex lights up as terms appear in your class records. Each new term feels like a small unlock. Review its meaning, hear the French pronunciation, study a movement-reference illustration, and see where you learned it, how often you practiced it, and when it first and most recently appeared. As your journal grows, your practice days, total hours, current streak, and class distribution become a calm record of your progress. Ballet Journal does not rush you. It simply helps you notice the work that is easy to forget. Key features: • Monthly calendar for seeing your practice rhythm at a glance • A 49-term Ballet Term Dex that lights up as you learn • Meanings, French pronunciation, movement-reference illustrations, and your personal learning trail • Class type, date, duration, reflections, terms, and body-focus notes • Multiple photos and videos for each class • Total hours, practice days, streaks, and class distribution • Optional Face ID or device-authentication lock • Readable Markdown export for journal text and metadata • No account required, no ads, and no cross-app tracking Your journal, photos, and videos stay on your device. Ballet Journal does not upload your records or media. Limited anonymous product analytics may be used to improve stability and the experience, without collecting your journal content, profile content, dates, or media. See the App Privacy details and privacy policy for more information. Start with one class today. The days pass; the practice stays.
