The choreography platform for dance teams

Free plan

Dance formation software built for how teams actually rehearse

Coryo's formation editor is a drag-and-drop stage canvas where you build formation sequences, animate transitions, and preview the full piece — before you set foot in the studio. Free for any group size.

How it works

1

Add your dancers

Enter your team's names once. Coryo assigns each dancer a color and label that persists across every formation in the project — so you always know who is who at a glance.

2

Build formation sequences

Drag dancers to their positions for each section of your piece. Create as many formations as you need. Reorder them on the timeline to match your music.

3

Preview transitions

Hit play and watch the transition animations between each formation. See exactly which paths cross, adjust timing, and drill the movements before you bring them to rehearsal.

What's included

Drag-and-drop stage canvas

Place dancers anywhere on the stage canvas. Snap-to-grid keeps positions clean. The canvas scales correctly for any stage orientation — portrait or landscape.

Animated transition preview

See how dancers move between each formation before rehearsal. Spot crossing paths, adjust timing, and arrive with a clean plan instead of figuring it out on the floor.

Formation presets marketplace

Browse and download community-submitted formation presets. Start from a preset that's close to your vision and adapt it — instead of building every layout from scratch.

Live floor projection (Studio)

On the Studio plan, your formations can be projected as light onto the physical stage floor using real projectors. Dancers step to the marker — no diagrams to interpret.

Formation planning connected to your entire workflow

Most formation tools are standalone editors. You plan your formations in one place, then paste screenshots into a group chat, rebuild the schedule in a spreadsheet, and review video in a third app. Every handoff loses context.

In Coryo, your formations live in the same project as your rehearsal schedule, attendance records, and video review. When you plan a rehearsal in the scheduler, you're scheduling against the same formation sequence your team is working from. When you leave feedback in the video review tool, it's connected to the same project as the formation you're drilling.

And on the Studio plan, those same formations can be projected as light onto your physical stage floor — no translation from diagram to physical space required.

Frequently asked questions

What is dance formation software?

Dance formation software is a digital tool that lets choreographers map dancer positions on a virtual stage canvas, build sequences of formations, and animate the transitions between them. Instead of drawing grids on paper or describing positions verbally, you drag and drop dancers into place and preview the full piece before rehearsal.

How does Coryo's formation editor work?

Coryo's formation editor is a drag-and-drop canvas. You add your dancers, place them on the stage, and save that as a formation. Then you build additional formations for each section of your piece. Coryo animates the transitions between formations so you can preview movement paths before you bring them to the studio.

Can I use formation software for any dance style?

Yes. Coryo's formation editor works for any group dance style — K-pop covers, competition dance, contemporary, hip-hop, musical theatre, and marching. The editor uses a simple stage canvas that adapts to your group size and stage orientation.

How many dancers can I add to a formation?

Coryo supports any group size. There is no dancer cap in the formation editor. The canvas scales to fit your group — whether you're working with 4 dancers or 40.

Can I share formations with my team?

Yes. Every Coryo project is shared with your team. Members can view formations, and leads can edit them. Dancers see the same canvas you do — so there's no exporting or re-sharing every time you make a change.

Is the formation editor available on the free plan?

Yes. The formation editor, preset library, and transition animator are all included in the free plan. The free plan supports one active project and up to 7 members. Pro ($8/month) removes those limits.
