The Challenge

Hip-hop dancers lacked a unified platform that combined event discovery, skill development, community networking, and professional growth. Existing solutions were fragmented — dancers had to juggle multiple apps for learning, finding events, and connecting with peers.

!

No single platform combined geolocation-based event discovery with AI-powered learning for dancers

!

Dancers needed real-time video analysis and annotation to improve technique and footwork

!

Community features like live voting, networking, and battle organization were scattered across different platforms

!

Monetization through premium masterclasses and payment gateways required seamless integration

Our Approach

We took a dancer-first approach, collaborating closely with hip-hop communities to understand their workflows — from practice sessions and battles to event discovery and professional growth. The app was designed for speed, visual impact, and intuitive navigation.

1

Community Research & UX Design

Engaged with 40+ hip-hop dancers and event organizers to map their journey — from discovering events to submitting battle videos. Designed a bold, dark-themed UI reflecting hip-hop culture.

2

AI-Powered Video Analysis

Built an AI engine for real-time video annotation that evaluates consistency, rhythm, footwork, and energy — giving dancers actionable feedback with scored breakdowns.

3

Geolocation Discovery Engine

Developed intelligent location-based recommendations surfacing nearby events, training spots, schools, and opportunities based on user activity and preferences.

4

Content & Payment Platform

Integrated AI-driven content curation for personalized tutorials and masterclasses, with a seamless payment gateway for premium content access and event registrations.
