Description
The ultimate music player designed for ballet, jazz, hip‑hop, and any dance class. Adjust tempo on the fly, create class‑specific playlists, and control with Apple Watch or bluetooth remote from across the room.
With Cadance you can fix the tempo of the 'almost perfect' songs to keep your class moving at the right pace.
YOUR CLASS, YOUR TEMPO
• Perfect Your Dancers' Technique: Slow down the tempo to clean up a routine. Ideal for ballet class music, tap dance classes, and detailed choreography work.
• Challenge and Upskill Your Dancers: Speed up the tempo to challenge your students and help them master complex and fast-paced routines.
TOOLS FOR EFFORTLESS TEACHING
• Nail Every Entrance: Use the Delay Start for songs with short intros, giving you and your dancers time to get in position and start together or record video.
• Master Repetitive Drills with Ease: Use the repeat function (up to 4 times) for group repetitions and drills, so you can focus on your dancers, not the music player.
• Discover New Music: Find more songs similar to the one being played, expanding your music library for choreography and class without typing a single letter. Our powerful keyword search saves you precious class time.
• Talk Without Interrupting the Flow: The Duck button, while held, conveniently lowers the music volume so you can avoid shouting. This is also useful to see if your dancers can stay on the beat when the music disappears briefly.
YOUR MUSIC, PERFECTLY ORGANIZED
• All Your Music in One Place: Play music from your device Music Library, local files, and your Apple Music subscription, all seamlessly integrated into Cadance.
• Organize Your Classes Effortlessly: Create custom playlists and folders to organize your music for each class, giving you quick and easy access to the right songs at the right time.
FLEXIBLE ACCESS FOR EVERY TEACHER
Cadance is designed to fit how you teach. Use our free Class Planning mode to build your playlists and preview any track for 15 seconds. When it is time to teach, choose the access level that works for you:
DAY PASSES (14 free with the first installation):
Activate a Day Pass at the start of your first class and you are covered until midnight with the full power of Cadance — nothing held back. You'll find great value in your Apple Music subscription, since it is now streamable. Day Passes never expire, so use them only on the days you teach. Additional Day Passes are available for purchase in-app.

Nouveautés (v4.9)
Perfect Practice Pass is here.
• Focus Player: a distraction-free, full-screen practice view built for repeating and drilling a single track over 30 days. Designed for dancers, not just teachers.
• A/B loop markers: set two points on the timeline and loop just that section — perfect for nailing a tricky passage. These look like hearts with a down arrow (think needle down on a vinyl record track, and up arrow (think of the playback needle on a vinyl record being lifted off the track).
• Repeat ladder with optional delay-start and pause-between-repeats, so you can set up and reset between runs.
• Unlock any track for focused practice with a Practice Pass. New users get one free pass to try it out.
• Activate the wrong track? You can swap it out twice.
• Need more time with the track? Extend it at any time.
• Patron subscribers can now open tracks directly in the Focus Player and get endless Practice Passes.
Plus reliability improvements to library loading and a smoother start of playback over Bluetooth. BT Remote Overlay on iPad now supports Playlists.
We've received a few reports of content (artwork, track lists, songs) not loading and the app showing endless busy indicator on several screens. This build has significant changes to fix this and new debugging tools to help us squash anything that remains. If any such problems linger after the 4.9 update, contact support so that we can help.
