Dance Practice Tracker & Diary

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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€ข Open the app and your streak is the first thing you see โ€” plus this week's minutes, sessions and styles, before a single tap โ€ข 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 โ€ข A 14-day trend chart that shows every day โ€” so a sporadic month can't disguise itself as a solid fortnight โ€ข A weekly goal ring: set your minutes-per-week target and watch it fill as the week goes on โ€ข Time by style: see that Bachata got 6 hours this month while Ballet got 40 minutes, and rebalance โ€ข Style insights that flag neglect โ€” "3 weeks since Tango" before your partner has to say it PERFECT FOR โ€ข Social dancers juggling salsa and bachata nights who want proof they're improving โ€ข Ballet and contemporary students tracking studio classes and home practice together โ€ข Ballroom couples logging rehearsals in the run-up to a competition or showcase โ€ข 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 โ€” 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 โ€” the streak starts with one session.

Every dancer has a vocabulary. danceform is where you build it โ€” a personal studio for capturing the moves you're learning, shaping them into routines, and remembering everything you've danced. BUILD YOUR LIBRARY Film a move, import a clip, or drop in a video link. Tag it, set its tempo, add notes and a cover. Search, sort, and filter by tag or BPM to find anything in seconds. GROUP MOVES INTO SETS Bundle moves into an ordered Set โ€” the steps that build toward a final move, or a warm-up you run every session. Add a cover and notes with suggested music and starting tempos. CHOREOGRAPH ROUTINES Arrange moves on a multi-track timeline layered with music. Add on-screen cues (Pro) that flash a prompt at the right moment โ€” Beat Drop, Turn, or your own โ€” set count sections that change tempo mid-piece, and keep your choreographer's notes in the Workbook. PRACTICE IN THE STUDIO Dance against a reference video beside your live camera. Mirror it, blend a ghost overlay to check your lines, and go hands-free with gesture or voice control. A media-locked eight-count keeps you on beat โ€” with 8th and 16th subdivisions and per-section counts. Slow it down to learn, then build to full speed (Pro). TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Log every session for streaks, a weekly view, and dance-native achievements. See heart rate and calories after practice with optional Apple Health, and dig into deeper dance-fitness insights (Pro). Record your real-world medals and placements in the Trophy Cabinet. YOUR DANCE CV Keep a portfolio of your dancing โ€” choreography credits, companies and crews, and competition results, each linkable to a routine as video proof. Export it as a polished PDF or shareable image (Pro). SHARE & EXPORT Package a move, routine, or set as a single file another dancer can open in danceform, or export a printable Workbook PDF for a class โ€” sharing and exporting are Pro. Receiving anything shared with you is always free. MADE FOR DANCERS Theme the app to your taste (extra themes with Pro), project to a TV or external display, and keep a home that's yours โ€” no account, no sign-in, everything on your device. Free to start. danceform pro unlocks unlimited moves and routines, slow-motion and tempo scaling, routine cues, deep dance-fitness insights, all themes, and the full sharing and export suite. danceform pro is an auto-renewable subscription. - Monthly and annual plans, with a 7-day free trial. - Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. - The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. - Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. - Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region.
