Dance Studio AI helps you create routines from music and learn moves from your own dance videos. Upload music or describe a style to create choreography, or import a clip and turn visible movement into notes and lesson images you can compare with the original. AI CHOREOGRAPHY Choose K-pop, hip-hop, jazz, and more. Set the length, difficulty, and purpose to create a practice-ready routine. LEARN FROM YOUR VIDEO Import a dance video from Photos or Files and select 5–30 seconds. Silent clips work too. AI organizes visible moves, body direction, knee positions, and other cues into notes and supporting lesson images. Keep the original and reference frames for slow playback, mirroring, and section loops. Uncertain observations are marked; compare them with the original. MUSIC ROUTINE BREAKDOWNS Review timing cues, movement notes, key practice points, and common mistakes before you begin. LESSON STORYBOARDS See key moves arranged into visual panels that make poses and transitions easier to follow. IMAGE PRACTICE Practice step by step with move images. Set a countdown, repeat counts, mirror mode, and the time to spend on each move. PROJECT LIBRARY Generated routines are saved automatically, so you can return to their breakdowns and storyboards anytime. Generated content supports creativity and practice. It is not a replacement for professional dance instruction or physical training advice. This app offers auto-renewable subscriptions.
