# AR Dancing Instructors 'Dance Reality' Uses Apple's ARKit to Teach People to Dance By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-07-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teach-people-to-dance References: [dancerealityapp](https://www.dancerealityapp.com/?ref=producthunt) 'Dance Reality' is an app powered by [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotselfie-ar-meta-stores) newly released ARKit for iOS 11 that teaches people to dance using [augmented reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tutar). One of the troubles with learning to dance is knowing where to place one's feet, but Dance Reality addresses this issue by providing shoe-shaped AR floor markers to show where a dancer should put their feet, as well as how they should be moved. Since there are many dances that are best done with a partner, the app also makes it possible for a second person's footprints to appear on the screen in a mode for couples. With the app, users are able to pick a song to go along with their steps, learn at their own pace and follow a voiceover to keep to the beat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ar-enhanced Learning:** Augmented Reality technology is disrupting traditional learning methods by providing innovative interactive and immersive experience. - **Personalized Learning:** Apps like Dance Reality enable users to learn at their own pace and in their own space, disrupting conventional group-based learning models. - **Partner-based Learning:** Partner-based AR apps like Dance Reality are disrupting traditional dance classes that require a physical presence. ### Who This Affects Most - **Education:** AR technology has the potential to disrupt traditional models of education by providing interactive and immersive learning experiences. - **Fitness:** AR apps like Dance Reality are revolutionizing the fitness industry by providing personalized dance-based workouts at the convenience of user's home. - **Entertainment:** Partner-based AR apps like Dance Reality are transforming the entertainment industry by providing an interactive and engaging experience for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR-Fueled Musical Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minibeats.md) - [AI Dance Teachers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-dance-teacher.md) - [Augmented Reality Educational Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-educational-app.md) - [AR 3D Model Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-app-for-iphone.md) - [Virtual Reality Dance Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-dance-vr-welcome-to-dancity.md) - [Rewarding Dance Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-dance-club.md) - [AR-Enabled Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupixel.md) - [Gamified AR Footwear Fittings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tootsie-augmented-reality.md) - [AR-Based Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffity.md)
