Features built for dance teachers
Cadance is designed by a dancer, for dance teachers — so you can find, shape, and run music in class without losing the room. Get to a clean start faster, keep students focused, and stay in control when class pace changes.
Free to download. Includes a Free (fully BarreNotes compatible) tier. Paid plans are available monthly or annually, with discounted pricing for the first two months.
Your class, your tempo
Perfect technique work
Slow down the tempo to build technique — ideal for ballet class music, tap classes, and detailed choreography work.
Challenge and upskill
Speed up the tempo to challenge your students and help them master complex, fast-paced routines.
Natural sound
Change tempo without distracting pitch changes so your music stays professional and clear.
Tools for effortless teaching
Find the perfect song in seconds
Powerful keyword search eliminates endless scrolling so you can stay focused on students.
Nail every entrance
Use Delay Start for short intros so you and your dancers can get in position and start together. (Spark+)
Master repetitive drills
Use repeats (up to 4) for group repetitions and drills — focus on dancers, not the music player. (Free+)
Apple Watch support
Control class music from your wrist — start, pause, and skip tracks without picking up your phone. (Spark+)
Start from the top
Auto Rewind makes track auditions easy: when the rewind button is red (for the first 15 seconds) the track will rewind when you pause — so you’re ready for the “real” use for the students. (Free+)
Built-in timers
Keep class moving with class timers and clock tools designed for studio pacing. (Free+)
Duck / temporary mute
Lower the music quickly while keeping the timeline moving so you can instruct without breaking momentum. (Free+)
Volume warning
Get a warning when volume is high enough to risk clipping and sounding bad — helping protect studio gear and keep playback clean. (Free+)
Metronome
Build a rock-solid sense of rhythm with an integrated metronome. (Spark+)
Your music, perfectly organized
All your music in one place
Play music from your Apple Music Library, import local files (Spark+), and use Apple Music subscription features on supported tiers.
Organize classes effortlessly
Create playlists and folders so each class has quick access to the right music at the right time.
Favorites that stay fresh
The Favorites tab keeps key albums and playlists front and center — and lets them gently decay over time so what you use most recently naturally rises to the top.
Reliable offline use
Because studio internet shouldn’t get in the way of a great class.
Cadance is not bundled with music and doesn’t sell music — bring your own.
