Loop any section. Slow down any song or video. Learn any choreography — at your own pace. BeatLoop is the precision practice tool for dancers, choreographers, and dance teachers. Mark the parts you need to drill, loop them, and slow them down until every move clicks. Load audio or video from your device, or stream songs straight from YouTube. BUILT FOR PRACTICE, NOT PLAYBACK Every other slow-downer was made for someone sitting still with an instrument in their hands. BeatLoop is made for a body that has to get back to its mark. Every rep starts with a countdown you can see and hear, so you can stand in position with your eyes up instead of staring at your phone waiting for the music. Set a break between reps, choose how many times to run it, and let the speed climb a little each pass until you're back at full tempo without noticing. WHAT YOU CAN DO • A-B repeat — drop A–Z markers and loop any part as long as you need • Change the speed — practice slow, then build back up to full tempo • Link segments — drill a full routine section by section • Get counted in — see and hear the countdown before every rep, so you know exactly when to start the choreo • Break time — set a pause between reps to reset and get back to your mark • Record yourself — capture video and play it back in sync with the music • Import anything — audio and video from your device, or stream from YouTube • Cast to a TV — send your practice to the big screen for classes and rehearsals • Save sessions — markers, segments, speed and settings, right where you left them FOR TEACHERS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS Break a routine into named sections and teach them one at a time. Slow the tempo for beginners, loop the hard parts for your advanced students, and cast to a speaker or screen so the whole class stays in sync. Spend class time teaching, not scrubbing back and forth through a track. FOR STUDENTS AND SELF-LEARNERS Learn from YouTube and your own clips at a pace that works for you. Loop the move you can't quite get, drop the speed until it clicks, then record yourself to check your timing and clean up the details. EVERY STYLE Hip hop, contemporary, ballet, jazz, salsa, bachata, kizomba, zouk, tango, K-pop, breaking, ballroom, heels and more. Preparing a wedding dance? Loop it, slow it down, and learn it one eight-count at a time. FREE TO START Loop, slow down, record and practice for free, with 3 markers and 2 segments per session. Premium unlocks unlimited markers and segments, the full speed range, longer loops, and flexible break and prep timing. Make the music your own. Always stay OnBeat.
