Your studio's teaching deserves a home
Choreography videos live on the teacher's phone. Old school history, locking, popping, breaking, gets a brief mention and then moves on. Foundational moves get retaught from scratch every term. C3NTR is a quiet place to write it all down once, in your studio's voice.
Who this is for
Studios with multiple teachers
Two or more teachers, several classes a week. C3NTR holds the shared standard so every class draws from the same library.
Studios preparing for competitions
You compete in hip hop dance comps. Content locked by level keeps newer dancers solid on foundations while crew members prepare full routines.
Built for teachers, not for IT
Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next foundation move in plain prose. The next class, dancers know the history before they move.
Write directly in the app
Like a notepad. New articles are drafts until you publish, so nothing goes live by mistake.
Mobile-first authoring
Edit on the phone between classes or on the way home. The same library, the same edit screen.
A working library in under an hour
Import the starter template in a few taps. Edit anything that doesn't fit. Publish when ready.
Beginner, intermediate, advanced or your studio's progression
Content locked by level, in your studio's progression
Tag any article with a minimum level. New students see foundations and history. Intermediate see choreography breakdowns. Crew members see competition routines. The same library, the right view per dancer.
A glossary in English and English

- Freestyle

Battles, showcases, summer intensives
C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the next showcase, post when a guest teacher is taking class, and let dancers see what's coming up. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.

C3NTR is style neutral. The library is yours to fill. old school, new style, LA style or another tradition. Write in your studio's voice.
Can my studio customise the hip hop template?
