FlowVault is where pole dancers remember every move they've ever learned, created by a pole dancer who just couldn't remember what she learned the week before. Log moves you've recorded after class. Mark it New, Working On, or Mastered. Attach a photo or a clip so future-you actually remembers how to get into it. Then watch your library grow into the full picture of your progress. HOW IT WORKS: • Never forget a move again - your whole vocabulary in one place • Track status as you go: New → Working On → Mastered • Attach photos and video to any move • Create custom choreography or test yourself and shuffle moves together • See your progression over time, not just where you are today • Get nudged about moves you haven't drilled in a while • Get off-the-pole training recommendations with every move card • Save and tag instagram drills, moves, and poses you want to try • If your studio is on Flowvault, see your studio's curriculum and instructor tips FREE TO START Log unlimited moves with photos, set statuses, and see your basic stats — free, forever.

Choreographic details blur between rehearsals. Barre captures all of it.

Flexibility Log - Monthly progress photos with measurements. Front split: January (5 inches from floor) to March (flat). The visual comparison is the #1 motivation feature. Choreography Tracker - Learn and retain pieces with 8-count breakdowns. Document every phrase, section notes, and video references. Never forget the tombe into pas de bourree on counts 9-16.
