ChoreoPocket is the pocket studio built for dancers, choreographers, and dance teachers. Turn any song into a rehearsal tool: build your routine around the music, capture every take, drill the hard parts, and keep your whole class on the same count. CHOREOGRAPH TO THE MUSIC • Import your own audio files or connect Apple Music, Spotify, or Tidal. • Break a song into sections and give each one its own steps, notes, and takes. • Drop cue markers so you always know where the drop, the chorus, or the count-in lands. DRILL LIKE A PRO • Slow the music down without changing the pitch to nail tricky sections. • Loop any part of the routine on repeat until it's muscle memory. • Isolate vocals or instruments with on-device stem separation to hear the count clearly. RECORD AND REVIEW • Film video takes right in the app and keep multiple takes per section. • Sync your video to the music with precise offset alignment. • Flip the camera view so mirroring feels natural when you learn. • Jump between sections in Class Mode to teach a routine piece by piece. DESIGN YOUR FORMATIONS • Place dancers on a stage and map their positions across the routine. • Animate transitions with keyframes so everyone knows where to go and when. TEACH AND COLLABORATE • Share projects with students and collaborators. • Track student progress so you know who's ready. • Organize everything into folders and tag by dance style and skill level. BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO • Feature your best choreography on a public profile. • Add your bio, social links, and resume so directors and studios can find you. EVERYWHERE YOU DANCE • Your projects sync securely to the cloud and stay available across your devices. • Download projects for offline rehearsal when the studio Wi-Fi won't cooperate. • A companion Apple Watch app keeps playback under control from your wrist. MADE FOR EVERY DANCER Whether you're a soloist polishing a piece, a choreographer setting a group number, or a teacher running a full class, ChoreoPocket keeps your music, video, formations, and notes in one place.
