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.
