How it works

  1. Watch the bot

    The pad at the top shows where each foot goes. Blue is your left foot, orange is your right.

  2. Read the arrows

    Arrows rise into the targets just under the bot. Step as they reach them, and they slide away under the pad.

  3. 75%

    Practice at your pace

    Slow the song down, change the scroll speed, and jump to any part of the chart from the strip on the right.

See it in action

The demo song's Medium chart: the bot crosses its feet over, and the arrows below show what's coming next.
