Castograph: Dance Formation

Plan formations with clarity before rehearsal begins. Place every performer, time every transition, and preview the routine with music. Turn choreography ideas into rehearsal-ready visual plans on iPhone and iPad.

Castograph is a visual formation planner for choreographers, dance teachers, directors, and performance teams. Build precise stage layouts, organize them on a timeline, and see how performers move from one formation to the next.
