DanceMaster is a music player designed for rehearsal.When you rehearse, you often need to play part of a piece of music over and over again, and you need to be able to quickly jump to important points in the piece. DanceMaster is designed from the ground up to help you break down, practice, memorize, and teach choreographies.AGAIN!Every time you pause the music, DanceMaster returns to the last place you started playing. This makes it easy to practice to a section of the music over and over again.FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHTDanceMaster allows you to set cues in the music that you can easily jump to at any time. In addition, you can add a configurable lead-in time to all cues in a choreography. The lead-in time sets the jump point for each cue a little before the actual cue time, giving you time to count in, but keeping your cue marks where they should be.REHEARSAL SPEEDYou can easily change the tempo of the song for a choreography. Tempo adjustment can be turned on and off without losing the selected tempo, which is great for switching between rehearsal and performance tempos.GIVE ME THE BEATYou can set the original tempo for a choreography and DanceMaster will show you tempo adjustments and cue lead-ins in beats instead of seconds. If the music you are using is in your music library and has the "BPM" field set in iTunes, DanceMaster will automatically use this setting.REMOTE CONTROLLEDDanceMaster now includes an Apple Watch app that allows you to control the music, jump to defined cues, and even change the tempo without having to go back to your phone. It's perfect for active rehearsals. DanceMaster also works with Control Center and can be controlled with any remote that works with iOS, including the standard iPhone earbud controls and external Bluetooth remotes. CALL IT FOR MEDanceMaster can speak your cue names during playback, so you don't need to watch the screen while you rehearse.SUPPORTIf you have any feedback or questions, we'd love to hear from you! You can reach us by email at [email protected], or on Twitter at @dancemasterapp.
