Is Your Daughter ActuallyImproving at Dance?
Most dance moms can't tell if their daughter is improving. Upload a dance practice video and get feedback on timing, posture and technique in minutes.
As a dance mom, you always encourage your daughter to practice more and get better at dancing. It could be for an upcoming performance, a dance competition, or a bootcamp, but the feeling stays the same. You want to see your kid win.
So you spend your hard-earned money on classes and coaches. But are you actually aware of her progress?
If you are like most dance moms, at least one of these will sound familiar.
The three problems every dance mom knows
1. The driving never ends.
When an event is getting closer, you have to drive her to practice several days a week, on top of a schedule that is already full. What if you had something at home to guide her practice in between classes?
2. You have to take the coach's word for it.
Most dance parents do not have dance expertise, so you depend on coach feedback to know whether your daughter is improving. But coaches are looking after a large class at once. What if they miss something, and you only find out at the competition after the scores come back low?
What if you had an instant way to check her progress yourself?
3. Private coaching is expensive.
Top dance studios and coaches charge $100 or more per hour. Their expertise is worth it, but what if you had an affordable option with the same precision?
At DanceBetter, we understood what dance moms are going through. So we built the first automated dance coach that actually solves these problems.
How our system works
Record a practice video and upload it. Our system analyzes the dance in two to three minutes and tells you what your daughter needs to work on and what is already strong. Give it a quick try here.
It highlights the exact body part and the exact moment that is weak or strong, so you can watch it back in slow motion together.
It also gives a score for every dance, broken down by timing, posture and technique, so you can see whether she is improving from one video to the next.
DanceBetter analyzes practice footage in minutes, highlighting timestamped issues, technique impact, and specific fixes.
Surprising, right? That is not all.
If you want more detail, you can request in-depth feedback by body part, which is what competition routines really need. And if your kid needs a proper practice plan with exercises to fix her weak points, that is one click away.
Sounds expensive? Not really.
It costs less than $1 per minute to process a dance video. You can analyze an entire routine for less than your morning coffee.
But does it know her dance style?
Fair enough. You will see the magic once you upload a video.
Our system currently supports more than 1,200 dance styles from around the world, with a comprehensive technique and rulebook library built into it. Whether your daughter competes in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, acro or musical theatre, the feedback is specific to that style, not generic movement advice.
That is not all. Sometimes performing a technique in the wrong form causes injury. When our system detects a risky movement, it warns you about it and guides her through the correct form, which can save months of painful recovery.
What about partner and group dances?
How can DanceBetter figure out which person to analyze?
Our engineers and dance coaches asked exactly the same question.
For partner dances like ballroom, salsa and bachata, the system gives separate feedback for the lead and the follow, tagging each piece of feedback so you know which one belongs to your daughter.
For group dances like jazz lines, hip hop crews and production numbers, it detects everyone in the frame. You can select your kid alone for individual feedback, or select the whole group to get feedback on formation and synchronization.
Every competition scores differently
Even within the same dance style, different competitions use different point systems. So how do you know DanceBetter is guiding her toward the points that actually count?
We thought about that too.
In our Gold Medal Bootcamp, you select the dance style, enter the competition name and its rulebook. Our system learns those rules and searches online for any other available resources on that specific competition.
The Gold Medal Bootcamp adapts feedback directly to the official rulebook and scoring criteria of your daughter's specific competition.
Now your daughter has a specialized coach for that exact event.
One last thing
You do not think twice about a monthly subscription for Netflix or Spotify.
But will that be a memory that lasts?
Compare it to watching your daughter perform on a bigger stage, or take home a gold medal. We know that moment cannot be bought with money.
