Visualizing formation changes and blocking is a difficult task for choreographers. Let's Dance provides an intuitive and efficient way for choreographers to create, record, and share dance formations, while also seeing their creation in physical space.
During initial interviews, we explored the processes of visual artists, dancers, writers, and photographers. These interviews informed our decision to focus on improving the choreographing process for dancing.

Through three user tests of our paper prototype, we learned to clarify ambiguous text, increase error messaging, and remove unnecessary functionality.

We utilized Sketch and inVision to work out an initial, minimal user interface to maximize the functionality of a small phone screen and to organize the flow between our three main tasks. Feel free to check out the inVision prototype on the right!
