Inspiration
We’ve been dancing for 15+ years each and we have been part of many different dance communities– choreography competition teams (America’s Got Talent), concert performances (BTS), more casual groups. We recently led a freestyle dance collective back in NY where we'd dedicate so much time helping our dancers prepare for dance battles. Our members often faced a lack of feedback in the existing dance battle scene structure and how difficult it was to improve without that, and we also saw that the battle organizers were using pen & paper to judge large battles of 70+ people– so we set out to address them.
What did we want to address? a) We noticed how battles were run via an archaic method – pen & paper, and LOTS of scrambling from battle organizers. Judges would scribble on paper who’s the winner, and it would be used for a second– and discarded or lost. b) This also meant dancers would rarely get feedback from judges… Judges would score 70+ dancers in one event just for preliminary battles. So we worked with battle organizers in the community to develop a tool to eliminate the friction & encourage the community to adopt an efficient judging/feedback system.
What it does
We set out to build a tool that will make dance battles run efficiently with the help of tech (vs. archaic pen & paper) and encourage growth and self improvement amongst the community.
We set out to allow battle organizers to cast the dashboard onto a big screen to allow users to follow along in the battle.
