Set your own pace and rewatch as many times as you need
We know how hard it can be to jump into a new style or master a new technique, especially when a class is moving quickly. That’s why we developed our platform with the ability to customize classes to make learning easier.
Need a pause, a change of speed, or a recap of the choreography? Our video player lets you control the pace and is perfect for beginners learning to dance at home. Stop, rewind, rewatch, slow down, and mirror controls allow you to jump ahead or repeat a section as many times as you want.
Meet your beginner dance instructors
With CLI Studios, you’ll get the chance to learn beginner choreography and technique from 300+ world-renowned instructors. Our choreographers specialize in teaching the basics of hip-hop grooves, jazz progressions, contemporary, musical theatre, ballet barre, and more.
