At SRQ Robotics, we often handle the challenging tasks of the tech world. However, we believe that the technology shouldn’t just focus on industrial efficiency or factory automation. The main aim of any engineering project, whether it’s a complex circuit board or a line of code, is to improve the human experience.
That is why we are excited to introduce a project that uses our knowledge in Artificial Intelligence to support something purely human, creative, and fun: DanceBetter.org.
The Struggle of Learning to Dance
We created DanceBetter because we know that for many people, starting to dance is harder than it should be.
Before we launched this platform, we listened. People told us they wanted to learn, but they couldn’t find the right classes. Some lived too far from studios. Others had access to classes, but not the specific style they loved. Even when logistics were fine, the experience often fell short.
But the bigger challenges weren’t just logistical; they were emotional.
Many said they felt too shy to enter a class full of strangers. They feared judgment or worried about making mistakes in front of others. For beginners, a studio filled with mirrors and experienced dancers can feel intimidating. That fear can stop many from taking the first step.
That’s when we saw something significant.
The same AI and computer vision technology we use for robots to navigate spaces can help people learn to dance, privately, comfortably, and at their own pace. It’s a tool that eases fear, reduces pressure, and makes dance accessible to anyone, anywhere.
That’s why we built DanceBetter.
To remove the obstacles.
To give people the confidence to start.
And to open the door to a world they’ve always wanted to explore.
Your Personal AI Dance Coach
DanceBetter.org removes the biggest barriers to dance by turning your laptop or phone into a private, intelligent instructor. Available anytime, anywhere. Plus, it’s easier than you think.
- Choose Your Style
Browse a growing library of dance styles. - Upload Your Video
Record yourself dancing or yourself dancing along to the reference video and upload it directly from your device. - Experience the Magic
Our system uses advanced AI and computer vision to create a digital “skeleton” of your movement. It analyzes your posture, timing, joint angles, and rhythm, then provides feedback to make you a professional level dancer. - Get Instant, Actionable Feedback
Within moments, you receive detailed, timestamped feedback along with visual cues that show exactly where you can improve.
No judgmental eyes. No commute. Just you, your space, and your passion for dancing.
A Style for Every Vibe
One of the biggest challenges in robotics is versatility. A robot built to lift cars moves differently from a drone designed for agility. The same idea applies to humans. Every dance genre has its own posture, rhythm, and movement quality.
So we designed our AI to understand many dance styles:
- K-Pop & J-Pop – Highly synchronized and sharp. Our AI tracks your timing down to the millisecond. It’s perfect for mastering those viral idol choreographies.
- Hip-Hop & Street Dance – It’s all about groove and isolation. The system looks at your center of gravity to help you stay grounded, smooth, and expressive.
- Ballet & Contemporary – Lines, extensions, and posture matter most. The AI acts like a precise instructor, checking arm placement, balance, and spine alignment.
- Salsa, Bachata & Latin – Helps to build your timing, footwork, and hip motion patterns at your own pace.
- Bollywood – Energetic, expressive, and full of intricate hand movements. Our platform helps you match the rhythm, emotion, and energy of this vibrant style.
- Breakdancing (B-Boying) – Power moves and freezes carry real risk. The AI looks at your form to ensure you’re hitting shapes cleanly and safely.
Don’t worry. This is not all. Whatever you dance, we’ve got you covered.
Why We Built This
You may still wonder why a company known for its expertise in embedded systems and robotics research and development is developing an AI dance coach.
The answer is simple. The line between the digital and physical worlds is disappearing. Not long ago, tracking human movement meant strapping bulky sensors to your body. You needed hardware, PCBs, calibration, and the whole setup. Today, computer vision has advanced to the point where a standard camera serves as the primary sensor.
DanceBetter is our way of demonstrating that technology doesn’t have to feel complicated. By allowing anyone, anywhere, access to professional-level feedback that once needed a studio and a professional instructor.
High level tech made approachable. That’s what this platform represents.
The Future of Learning
At SRQ Robotics, we believe the future of technology is accessible intelligence. We aim to create tools that empower people without overwhelming them.
Whether we’re debugging firmware for a Fortune 500 automation project or fine-tuning the timing for a Salsa routine, our standard of excellence remains the same. We are always looking at ways to use technology to solve real problems, big or small.
DanceBetter grew out of that philosophy. It will be more than just a product for us, as well as for dancers all around the world.
We invite you to step away from the desk, put down the work, and get started. I mean, what are you waiting for? What you wished for is already here.
