Tighter rhythm, more fun!

STEP MASTER, the iPhone app that lets you acquire the sense of rhythm that you need for dance.



In order to dance impressively, the crucial point is to keep the rhythm! This is something that even top dancers active on the world stage always keep in mind. It's easy to be distracted by flashy moves, but what really makes or breaks a performance is whether the dancer has internalized the tempo. The best way to become a better dancer is to improve your body's core strength and your sense of rhythm.



STEP MASTER is a fun iPhone app that lets dancers from beginner to expert level improve their sense of rhythm as if they were playing a game. From basic steps to complex choreography, a total of 49 dance variations are provided. Each of these are clearly illustrated with motion graphics that rotate 360 degrees. It's the birth of a new dance training tool in which the accelerometer accurately detects the dancer's sense of tempo, letting you master the moves.





Korg and dance

Founded in 1968, Korg Corporation is a Japanese electronic musical instrument manufacturer that manufacturers and sells synthesizers, digital pianos, DJ equipment, effect units, and tuners. Marked by innovative creativity that has resulted in many epoch-making products, the company is supported by top musicians in Japan and around the world.

In 2013, Korg initiated a new avenue of participation in the entertainment world by opening the Topfield Dance Center dance studio in Shibuya, Tokyo, with the internationally acclaimed top dancer TAKAHIRO as producer.

The revolutionary dance training app STEP MASTER contains technology from Korg, which has developed numerous sound-related apps, and also contains elements derived from the experience of the Topfield Dance Center. It's a practical app that's designed from the dancer's point of view, and that also provides plenty of entertainment value.
