Find your position
Set your iPhone on a stable support. Follow the large framing cue instead of trying to judge a tiny preview from across the room.
Pose-guided recording · iPhone · iOS 17+
Get in frame. Then let the countdown begin.
Filming yourself shouldn't mean racing back from your phone. DanceTake checks your body position, guides you with a large red, yellow, or green circle, and waits for usable framing and a steady hold before it starts the countdown.
Available on the App Store · Free with an optional one-time Pro purchase
Body-pose detection
Checks key body points and your position in the frame.

See the framing guide
It checks your position before it counts down.
Current app screens with demonstration footage. Pose detection provides setup guidance; it does not score your dancing.
Body-pose detection
A large framing cue helps you adjust before recording.
Time to get ready
Hold steady in yellow or green to begin the countdown.
Made for filming your own practice
Less time setting up. More time dancing.
A fixed timer can't tell whether you've reached your spot. DanceTake uses the camera view to help you get ready first.
Keep the track you practiced to
Play your own music or reference video while recording. The finished take uses that source's original audio.
Try the routine again
Takes from the same source stay together. Review them, record another version, and remove the ones you don't need.
How it works
Choose a track. Find your spot. Record.
A reference is optional. You can also record with the sound around you, or continue without sound if microphone access is unavailable.
Choose your reference—or skip it
Pick a video from Photos or an audio/video file from Files. DanceTake does not include a music or tutorial library.
Let the framing guide help
Red means adjust. Yellow means usable; green means a better position. Hold steady to start the 3-2-1 countdown. Significant movement during the countdown returns to framing.
Review and export
Stop recording, preview or scrub through the take, mirror it, or trim the end. Save to Photos or share with the original source audio.
Free recording. Optional watermark-free exports.
The recording workflow is free. Pro removes the export watermark.
Framing and recording
Body-pose detection, directional cues, automatic countdown, and front-camera recording. Default: 720p at 30 fps, with other options when supported by your iPhone.
Audio and take management
Original-audio syncing, playback, end trimming, mirroring, and grouped takes with swipe-to-delete and batch deletion.
DanceTake Pro
Free exports show a watermark during the final 5 seconds, or throughout shorter clips. A one-time Pro purchase permanently unlocks watermark-free saving and sharing. No subscription.
On your iPhone
Your recordings aren't sent to a developer server.
Pose detection, audio syncing, and video processing happen on your device. No DanceTake account, ads, behavioral analytics, or cross-app tracking. Apple handles purchases and purchase restoration through StoreKit.

A few things worth knowing.
How is this different from a timer?+
The countdown doesn't start as soon as you tap Start. DanceTake first checks body keypoints and framing, then waits for you to hold steady. Yellow can start after about 2.5 seconds; green after about 1.25 seconds.
Does it guarantee my whole dance stays in frame?+
No. Framing guidance helps you set up before recording. It isn't automatic camera tracking or dance-technique scoring. Leave room for movement and use good lighting.
Can I record without music or a reference video?+
Yes. Leave the reference empty. Allow Microphone access for room sound, or continue without sound if that permission is unavailable.
Will it remove a teacher's voice from the track?+
No. Original-audio syncing uses the audio already in your selected file. Any spoken instructions or counting in that file remain.
What does Pro unlock?+
Only watermark-free exports. Framing, recording, source-audio syncing, and take management are free. Pro is a one-time purchase, with Restore Purchase available in the app.
Where are my videos stored?+
Imported copies and finished takes are stored inside DanceTake. Saving to Photos creates a separate copy. Your system backup or Photos sync settings may apply to those copies.
Set up the camera. Give yourself time to dance.
Download DanceTake and try filming your next practice. Recording is free, with an optional one-time Pro purchase to export without a watermark.
