November 4, 2026
A month review that shows what you practiced
Your month-end review now starts with how the month actually went, and old drawings on your clips are back.
- See your month at a glance — the review opens on how many moves you practiced, with that month's loops, takes and notes on each one.
- Settle each move in a tap — change a move's level right on the review, or keep every move you haven't started for next month at once.
- Old drawings fixed — clips with drawings from earlier versions no longer turn grey when a note is on screen.
- Share links that introduce you — move, collection and feedback links now open on a clean light page that tells a friend what Dance Journal is.
- A clearer scrubber — the time bubble above the scrubber is no longer cut off.

November 3, 2026
Mark a loop as you watch, shared notes, and simpler private classes
Loop a move right on the beat, jot a note on any frame, and set up a private class before your student has even joined.
- Mark a loop as you watch — tap Start loop, then End loop on the beat, or chop a whole tutorial into back-to-back loops in one pass.
- Quick notes, shared notes — jot a note on the paused frame in one box. On public moves, notes can be shared, upvoted and tagged, and the top ones show on the video.
- More from a creator — from any Discover clip, open every public clip from the same Instagram account.
- (beta) Private classes, simpler — add your student and the first lesson up front, and they can watch from your invite link in a browser. Your notes on their takes now reach them.
- A better first run — new dancers get a sample move that fits their style, and the crash on a first clip is fixed.
- Smoother on Android — scrubbing no longer freezes, and the ‹ › buttons step finer.

Classes, a practice month, and a page for every move
Teachers can now run their private lessons in the app, your practice list runs by the month, and every move has a home of its own.
- (beta) Private classes — teachers set up a class for each student, book lessons, record a recap and track lesson packs; students find it all in the new Classes tab.
- Your practice month — see how the month is going at a glance, then look back at the end of it and share a recap card.
- Partner work and solo, apart — your practice list groups moves by style, with partner work and solo moves in their own sections.
- Easier to find new moves — Home points you to what's new in your style, and topics filter to moves, styling or drills.
- A page for every move — all its takes in one place, plus the full tutorial it was cut from.

October 22, 2026
Find a move, loop it, keep going
Discover now has a Move Library sorted by topic, loops you save stay one tap away, and flicking through a collection feels like a feed.
- Move Library in Discover — browse moves by topic, filter by style and level, and save only the moves you want.
- Saved loops — save the part you're learning, fine-tune it frame by frame, and pick it up again with one tap.
- Swipe through a collection — swipe up for the next move and down for the last one, and short clips repeat on their own.
- Practice that counts — your practice list shows your next move and the last 7 and 30 days, and notes, takes and saved loops all count.

Cheat sheet for socials and fewer hiccups

A practice list that keeps you coming back
This release gives every move you're learning one home, reminds you to practice at a time that suits you, and makes it easier to find your next move.
- Your practice list — every move you're learning lives in one place, and Today picks a few from it each day. Add a move straight from Home.
- Practice reminders — pick a time and Dance Journal nudges you to practice, with an evening check-in that helps keep your streak, and one missed day won't break it.

September 29, 2026
Compare, cut and pick your practice
This release makes side-by-side study simpler, turns one long video into the moves inside it, and lets you decide exactly what today looks like.
- A simpler Compare — line up your take with the move once, then play both together, with a speed control you can see, loops and a mirror view.
- Cut a video into moves — mark several clips out of one long class video in one pass, and keep or drop the full video at the end.
- Pick your own practice — hand-pick which moves are on today's list, in the order you want to drill them.
- More styles, matched to your level — hip hop, K-pop, pole, ballet and heels join the list, and your starter moves fit how long you've been dancing.
- Smoother playback — scrubbing, stepping and loops land exactly where you put them, and your practice recordings now live in a Journal on Home.

September 26, 2026
A simpler practice loop, one tap at a time
This release strips daily practice down to what matters — a single list for today, and one honest question when you finish a move.
- One "Today" list — Home shows exactly what to practice today, and your streak counts the days you finish it.
- Say how it went — after practicing a move, mark it Learning, Polishing or Got it, and it comes back when it should.
- Star any move — add a single move to your daily practice, even if it isn't part of a collection.
- Tap to play or pause — tap the video itself, whether you're watching one clip or comparing two side by side.
- Easier imports — bring in videos stored only in iCloud, and trim gallery clips in the background while you keep going.

September 15, 2026
Smarter daily practice, sharper feedback tools
This release rebuilds how your practice plan works day to day, and polishes a handful of tools you use every session.
- Daily practice plan — a spaced-repetition queue picks what to work on each day, so moves you're shaky on come back sooner and ones you've nailed come back less.
- Practicing collections — starring a collection now drives your daily plan directly, replacing the separate Goals list with one simpler idea.
- Compare, zoomed in — pinch to zoom and drag to resize either side of a comparison, so you can actually see the detail you're checking.
- A cleaner Library — Clips now shows everything by default, laid out as a browsable grid instead of scrolling rows.
- Faster Instagram imports — trim a clip right when you import it, with no more 20-second cap.

August 7, 2026
One thread per clip, and a streak worth keeping
This release folds notes and feedback into a single thread on every clip, and gives your consistency somewhere to show up.

- Practice streak — a weekly streak band on Home tracks how consistently you're showing up.
- Flip any video — mirror a clip for either viewer, on every clip you save or receive.
- Cloud storage, redesigned — see what's using space and manage it clip by clip.

July 22, 2026
Discover, and a Home that gets out of your way
This release opens up a way to find other dancers' work, and clears out Home so it just shows you what's next.

- Home, redesigned — one clear hero card and a consistent set of stats, instead of a stack of staged sections.
- Collections — group moves and clips into a shareable collection with its own public link.

June 30, 2026
A calmer look, and a place for every note
