Your shared memory for every class, move, and video
Welcome to Dancing Moves.
Track your dance practice, catch up on missed lessons, and turn scattered videos into searchable knowledge together.
The idea
What is Dancing Moves?
Think of it as your personal dance notebook and dance tracker, powered by a community. Keep track of the dances you love, the courses you join, the people you meet, and the moves you learn, all in one place. Teaching classes? You can also announce courses and prepare lessons.
Quick glossary:
- Dance
- A dance style, the top level in the structure and the starting point for organising related classes and moves
- Course
- Weekly classes, workshops, and similar events that you can use to organise your dance practice
- Moves
- Patterns, techniques, and choreographies that help you remember what you learned
- Lessons
- The bridge between a course and its moves. One lesson belongs to one course and can include multiple moves and practice notes
- Participants
- Teachers, DJs, students, and more. Please do not publish personal information without consent when using organisation or public access.
- Organisations
- Groups that help manage member access to entries

Built for practice
How does it work?
The app stores your dance notes in a central database (Google Firestore), so your class notes and practice progress stay available across devices.
Inside an organisation, you can decide who gets read, write, or admin access. You can choose from four access modes:
- private: only the creator has access
- organisation-admin: only organisation admins have access
- organisation: any organisation member has access
- public: any authenticated user has access
Special rights for course videos let you limit access to selected courses by using course passwords. Share the password via the course share link from the Settings page, and only people with that special right can open those video links.
Dancing Moves runs directly in your browser on nearly every device, with no classic installation required. Your browser automatically caches the app and core content (except videos and images), so key parts remain available when your internet connection is weak or temporarily unavailable.
The person behind it
Who am I?
I am Marco Volkert, a developer and a dancer. I built this app for myself first, then kept improving it until it became useful for other dancers too.

Pricing
Dancing Moves is completely free to use, but a lot of time has gone into building and maintaining it. If you enjoy the app and would like to support the project, you can do so via PayPal or Patreon.
