Why build your own dance flashcards

Dance students often inherit a long list of terms from class, from ballet positions to music counts, and dance flashcards are a practical way to drill them. DeckOwl reads your own material and builds the deck for you.

  • Turn a choreography handout into cards for each count and step
  • Keep ballet, jazz or contemporary terms in the order your class uses them
  • Study from a phone or laptop browser on the free plan
  • Export to Anki or PDF with the Plus plan when you want to print or move your deck
Example ballet vocabulary flashcards
What is plié?A bending of the knees with the heels grounded, used in preparation for jumps, turns and landings.
What does en pointe mean?Dancing on the tips of the toes in pointe shoes, a technique used mainly in classical ballet.
What is a tendu?Extending the foot along the floor from a closed position to a pointed foot, keeping the toes in contact with the floor.
What is relevé?Rising up onto the balls of the feet or into demi-pointe or full pointe, usually from a plié or a flat foot.
What are the five basic foot positions in ballet?First through fifth positions, which set the placement of the feet and the degree of turnout in classical technique.

Built from your material

Cards come from the terms and steps in your own PDFs, slides and notes, so the vocabulary matches your class.

Reads photos too

Snap a page of handwritten notes or a printed handout and text recognition pulls the content into a deck.

Spaced repetition

Terms you miss come back more often, so review time goes to the moves you still struggle to name.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of your dance notes.

Review the cards

Check the generated fronts and backs and edit anything that does not match your teacher's terms.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition set the timing for each card.

Ready-made sets rarely match the terminology your teacher uses or the choreography you are learning. Generating cards from your own lecture slides, handouts or photos of notes keeps the vocabulary accurate to your course.

Once the deck exists, spaced repetition brings back the terms you miss most often, so review time goes to the hard ones.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a dance vocabulary unit?

One card per term is a good starting point, and most single units fit in one deck. Add cards for new steps as your class moves on so the deck keeps up with your lessons.

What is the best way to memorize ballet terms?

Quiz yourself on the French term, say the movement out loud, then check the back. Reviewing the same cards over several days works better than one long cramming session.

Can I export dance flashcards to Anki or PDF?

Yes, the Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is spaced repetition included with the free plan?

Spaced repetition is part of the Plus plan, which also removes the monthly generation limit. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study.
