Dance Practice Tracker & Diary

Features
Read full description

Every practice session you don't write down disappears. DanceLog is a practice diary for dancers: log the style, the minutes, how it felt and what you drilled — then watch your streak and your weekly hours build, session by session. This is not a learn-to-dance app and not a dance workout. It is a rehearsal log built around one job: keeping you consistent. The streak is computed the way dancers actually practise — a 30-day run doesn't collapse to zero just because you haven't danced yet today. Rest days show up as real gaps in the chart instead of being quietly squeezed out. WHAT YOU GET • Open the app and your streak is the first thing you see — plus this week's minutes, sessions and styles, before a single tap • Log a session in seconds: pick one of 8 styles from Salsa to Ballet, set the minutes and your mood, and jot what you drilled • A 14-day trend chart that shows every day — so a sporadic month can't disguise itself as a solid fortnight • A weekly goal ring: set your minutes-per-week target and watch it fill as the week goes on • Time by style: see that Bachata got 6 hours this month while Ballet got 40 minutes, and rebalance • Style insights that flag neglect — "3 weeks since Tango" before your partner has to say it PERFECT FOR • Social dancers juggling salsa and bachata nights who want proof they're improving • Ballet and contemporary students tracking studio classes and home practice together • Ballroom couples logging rehearsals in the run-up to a competition or showcase • Choreographers who need a dated note of what each rehearsal actually covered WHY NOT JUST A NOTES APP? A note can't count a streak, sum your minutes for the week or chart your last fortnight. And it will never tap you on the shoulder to say it's been three weeks since you touched Swing. DanceLog does the arithmetic so your notes become a record of progress, not just a pile of text. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your sessions live in local storage on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no cloud. Your entire log exports to CSV whenever you want it — it is your practice record, and it stays yours. FULL ACCESS There is no free tier and no trial: a purchase opens the whole app, including the weekly goal ring, the 14-day trend chart, the time-by-style breakdown and style insights. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Log tonight's practice — the streak starts with one session.

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