Prep less. Teach more. Your choreos and class plans are ready on your phone – in blocks, with counts, the way you cue them in class. New: attach a short video of yourself to any block. Your notes say what, your video shows how. ◆ Your notes say what. Your video shows how. You write your choreo as notes – as always. At home you run through it and film yourself doing it, 60 seconds at most. You attach the video to the block. In class you teach from the notes, and when a move won't come: one tap on the video, it's back, keep going. It works in all 17 class formats – a yoga transition or a Tabata exercise films just like a Step block. The video plays muted, your music keeps playing. And it stays on the device you attach it to. ◆ Class at 6:00, plan at 5:55 Writing notes, hunting for the binder, pulling everything together before class – and mid-class, Block C is missing anyway. In ChoreoPad your whole weekly schedule lives in one place: Step, Tabata, Abs, Legs & Glutes – every class a class plan, Block A to D, every line one move with its counts. ◆ One glance. That's all you get. Compact mode hides everything you don't need right now: big type on a dark background, just the moves and their counts – readable from the tablet by the mirror. Tap the next block, done. The video stays right there under the block. And the screen stays on as long as your class plan is open. ◆ The choreo grows with your group In Build-up you note the stages you teach a combination in – from the basic step to the finished choreo, for example "8× Step Touch, then it becomes Grapevine right and left". In class you read it off stage by stage. ◆ After class, on the way to the car The best ideas rarely come at a desk. Next to every text field there's a microphone: press, say the move, done. ChoreoPad already knows over 500 step names and writes them into the field spelled right – "Grapevine", "Kick Ball Change", "Vinyasa". On iPhone and iPad it runs on the device first. ChoreoPad stores no audio; only the recognized text lands in the field. ◆ 17 class formats, each one counts differently Step Aerobics · Dance Aerobics · Latin Dance · Zumba® · Jumping · Fat Burner · Yoga · Pilates · Stretch · Meditation · Workout · Abs, Legs & Glutes · Back Fit · TRX® · Tabata / HIIT · HYROX® · Cycling. Each format counts the way you cue it in class: in counts, reps, breaths or intervals. ◆ Your music keeps playing ChoreoPad makes no sound of its own, so it can't interrupt your music. Your videos play muted too. ChoreoPad only needs the microphone briefly while you speak a move in. ◆ Your choreos stay yours ChoreoPad works without an account and without an internet connection: class plans, favorites and your first name stay on your device. Only when you create an account are your class plans backed up and synced between phone and tablet – on a server in Germany. Videos always stay on the device you attach them to; they are neither uploaded nor synced. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. ◆ 300 sheets a year. Yours: zero. Six classes a week, one sheet per class – that's around 300 handwritten sheets a year. In ChoreoPad it's zero. With Favorites and Recently used, any choreo is open again in seconds. For group fitness and dance fitness instructors – in the studio, at the club and at the convention. In English and German.

The names appear here only so you can label your own class notes by them.
