BeatMatch: Learn Choreography by Comparing Yourself to the Reference BeatMatch is the practice notebook for dancers and choreographers. Keep every dance you're working on in one place — a reference video plus all your own takes — automatically synced to the music, so you can watch yourself improve rehearsal after rehearsal. Organize your dancing like a notebook Every dance becomes a choreo: the original reference plus every recording you make over time. Film a new take and BeatMatch recognizes the song and files it under the right choreography automatically — Hip-Hop drills, contemporary, waacking, ballet, all sorted for you instead of lost in your camera roll. Film while the music plays Record yourself with the reference choreo playing right there on screen — full camera view, reference in the corner. Loop the section you're drilling, pick your speed, and dance along. Your take is already perfectly synced to the music the moment you save, so there's nothing to line up afterward. Compare yourself to the reference, perfectly in sync - Play your run side by side with the original, aligned automatically by audio analysis - Hear the reference's clean music over your own recording — no more dancing to muffled phone audio - Or compare two of your own takes to see exactly what changed - Fine-tune the alignment by hand for a frame-perfect match Drill the hard parts - Loop any section — nail that one tricky 8-count on repeat - Give yourself a count-in buffer so you're ready before the section starts - Slow it down or speed it up, from 0.1× to 2× - Choose your layout: side by side, top and bottom, or picture-in-picture - Mirror, crop, and balance the volume of each video See your practice add up Every session lands in your Journal on a calendar, so you can watch your consistency build week after week. Connect Apple Health and your Apple Watch dance workouts — duration, calories, and heart rate — flow in automatically, next to the takes you filmed that day. Watch yourself improve Every take is saved to its choreo, so your whole progression stays together. Export any comparison to share with your team, your teacher, or on social media.
