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. SUBSCRIPTIONS ChoreoPocket is free to start. Creator Pro and Teacher Pro subscriptions unlock the full toolkit, including advanced practice and teaching features.
