per phrase to add your team’s name to a pre-made cheer and dance mix. Here the name is in every chorus, sung.

Muted

is what happens to chart songs in a studio’s promo reels: business accounts may only use the platforms’ commercial music libraries.

Eight ways dancers use it

Music for every room people dance in

Dance academies & studios

A studio anthem with your academy’s name in the hook

Open the showcase with it, warm every class up to it, and put it under every promo reel. It’s the one song no other studio has, and parents hear your name every time it plays.

Choose “Studio anthem”, type the academy’s name, keep the 5-6-7-8 count-in. Make a second one in the style you’re known for: hip hop, jazz, Bollywood, K-pop.

Competition teams & choreographers

Original routine music nobody else will dance to

Three teams at the same competition used the same chart song last season. An original track built to your concept, tempo and energy curve can’t clash, can’t get flagged on the livestream, and fits your story.

Choose “Competition routine”, name the theme, pick “builds to a climax” or “big hits”. Check the BPM, then trim it to your category’s time limit (see the workflow below).

Crews & battles

Your crew’s name over the hardest beat in the room

Hits for every accent, stop-and-go breaks for freezes, and the crew name shouted in the hook. Walk out to it at showcases and use it in every video the crew posts.

Choose “Crew / battle”, pick hip hop, breaking, dancehall or krump-heavy 808s, and “big hits”.

Dance fitness & class instructors

Class music with your class name and the cues sung in

A Latin dance fitness set, an Afro dance class, a Bollywood cardio hour: songs that call your class by name and shout the counts, at the tempo of each block, in the language your class speaks.

Choose “Class / dance fitness”, type the class name, set the BPM for the block (warm-up 120, peak 130+), and pick Spanish, Portuguese or Hindi if your class sings along.

Recitals & kids classes

A clean recital song with the class’s name in it

Little dancers dance bigger to a song about them. Clean words, a simple steady beat, a children’s choir, and the class name in every chorus: the video every parent shares.

Choose “Recital / kids show”, type the class name (“Tiny Tappers”, “Little Stars”), keep the count-in so they start together.

Sangeet, quinceañera & wedding dances

A song with their names for the family dance

The sangeet performance, the quinceañera surprise dance, the bridesmaids’ routine, the wedding flash mob: a song that sings the couple’s or the birthday girl’s name, in Hindi, Punjabi, Spanish or any of our languages.

Choose “Wedding & family dance”, type who it celebrates, pick bhangra, reggaeton, cumbia or pop and the language. The app writes the words around the names.

Dance parties & shows

An anthem for the party, the festival or the end-of-year show

School dance shows, university dance society nights, Afro and amapiano parties, a studio’s end-of-year gala: one song with the event’s name that opens and closes the night.

Choose “Dance party / show”, type the event’s name, pick “builds to a climax” for the finale.

[Intro]
Five, six, seven, eight

[Chorus]
This is Studio Nova, feel it in your feet
Studio Nova, moving to the beat
Five, six, seven, eight, we never miss a step
Studio Nova, give it all you've got left

[Verse 1]
Mirror on the wall and the lights come on\nSneakers on the floor, we've been here since dawn\nEvery single count, every single line\nHit it on the one and we're right on time

[Chorus]
This is Studio Nova, feel it in your feet
Studio Nova, moving to the beat
Five, six, seven, eight, we never miss a step
Studio Nova, give it all you've got left

[Verse 2]
Sweat on the floor and we don't slow down\nOne more run and we own this town\nTurn, kick, freeze, then we hit the floor\nTeacher says again and we give her more

[Chorus]
This is Studio Nova, feel it in your feet
Studio Nova, moving to the beat
Five, six, seven, eight, we never miss a step
Studio Nova, give it all you've got left

[Outro]

Reference

Dance tempo guide: BPM and counts for 22 styles

The tempo each style is usually danced at, how teachers count it, and the words that get the sound right in a description. Teachers and syllabi differ, so treat the ranges as a starting point; ballroom tempos are the competition charts converted from bars to beats per minute.

For competition teams

From idea to the stage, inside the time limit

1
Write the concept like a brief
Style, tempo, the energy curve and the story: “lyrical contemporary, 72 BPM, piano and strings, builds to a climax at two minutes, about letting go”.
2
Check the tempo before you set a count
The engine aims for the BPM you write but doesn’t always hit it. The Key & BPM Finder tells you what you got; the Speed Changer moves it to your tempo without changing the key.
3
Fit the time limit
Songs come out about 1:40 to 3:00. Cut to your category’s limit with the Audio Cutter and a fade-out, or join two songs into a medley with the Audio Joiner.
4
Rehearse slow, perform full speed
Make an 80% copy with the Speed Changer for teaching, and drill the counts with the Metronome at the song’s BPM.
5
Bring proof it’s yours
Download the certificate of ownership with the song. Anyone can check it at songupai.com/verify, and no other team can have your track.

Usual competition time limits

Solo	2:15 – 3:00 (most 2:45)
Duo / trio	2:45 – 3:00
Small group (4–9)	3:00
Large group (10–19)	3:00 – 4:00

For studio owners

A year of music for a dance studio

The studios that get the most from it make a song for each moment parents film. Here is one studio’s year, about two songs a month.

01
Open day & new term
The studio anthem with your name and a 5-6-7-8 count-in, under the enrolment reel and the trial-class video.
02
One song per class
“Tiny Tappers”, “Junior Hip Hop”, “Adult Salsa”: each class gets a short track with its own name to warm up to all term.
03
Competition season
Original routine music for each team, checked for tempo and cut to the time limit. No clashes with another team’s song.
04
Holiday showcase
A seasonal track for the winter show with the studio’s name, in the style each class performs.
05
The recital
A clean recital song for the little ones and a finale song with the show’s name for the whole studio.
06
Summer intensive & socials
A theme for the summer camp and a song for the end-of-year party. Send every family the gift page link after.

Pro is 21 songs a month for $9.99, so a whole year of this is less than one custom competition edit. Songs on a paid plan come with commercial rights for your classes, shows and promo videos.

Weddings, birthdays, schools

Sangeet, quinceañera, wedding and school dances

The dances families rehearse for weeks deserve a song with the names in it. Our sangeet example sings the couple’s names in Hindi, our quinceañera example sings hers in Spanish.

Sangeet & mehndi performance

India, Pakistan, the UK, the US, Canada, the Gulf

Sound: Bollywood bhangra, 100–110 BPM, dhol, big family chorus, Hindi or Punjabi

One song per side of the family, each with the couple’s names, joined into one medley with the Audio Joiner.

Quinceañera surprise dance

Mexico, the US, Central and South America

Sound: Reggaeton or cumbia, 95–100 BPM, big hits for the outfit change

Start with a slow waltz section for the vals, then the surprise song with her name; join the two with the Audio Joiner.

Wedding first dance & entrance

Everywhere

Sound: Slow pop or R&B ballad 65–80 BPM for the first dance; dance pop 120+ for the entrance

Make the first dance from your story with the Wedding Song page, and a high-energy entrance with both names for the walk-in.

Bridesmaids’ or groomsmen’s routine

US, UK, Nigeria, India, the Philippines

Sound: Afrobeats, dance pop or Bollywood, 100–124 BPM

Sing the couple’s names, not the dancers’: it’s their gift to the couple.

Flash mob

Proposals, weddings, office parties, schools

Sound: Dance pop with a soft intro that drops into a big beat at 0:30

Choose “builds to a climax”: the soft start lets the dancers walk in before the beat drops.

Sweet 16 & birthday dance

US, Latin America, the Philippines (debut)

Sound: Dance pop or reggaeton, 98–124 BPM

Her name in the chorus, a count-in for the group, and the gift page to send the song after.

School annual day & teachers’ day

India, Pakistan, Nigeria, the Philippines

Sound: Kids pop or a folk style, clean words, 100–116 BPM

The school’s name in a clean chorus, sung by a children’s choir, in the language the school sings in.

Rights, in plain words

Can you dance to it, post it and compete with it?

Songs made on a paid plan, or bought one at a time, come with full ownership and commercial rights under our Terms of Service: teach to them, perform to them, put them under your reels and ads. Each one can be downloaded with a certificate of ownership that anyone can check at songupai.com/verify.

Paid plans and one-off songs
Commercial rights: classes, shows, competitions, social media, ads.
Free plan
Personal use only. Upgrade before you perform to it or post it for your studio.
Your studio’s music licence
Still needed for the other artists’ songs you play. In the US an ASCAP or BMI dance licence covers music in the room, not streamed classes or videos.
Competitions
We found no studio-competition rule against AI-made music, and the 2026 Olympic ice dance allowed it. Rules differ: check your competition’s.
Collecting societies
We don’t register your songs with any. ASCAP, BMI and SOCAN register partly AI-made works, not fully AI-made ones (October 2025). Not legal advice.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I make music for my dance studio with AI?

Yes. Describe the style, tempo and energy, type your studio’s name, and SongUp AI makes a full song with your name sung in the chorus, in any of 76 languages. You can hear 30 seconds of it free with a free account. Songs made on a paid plan, or bought one at a time for $2.99, come with commercial rights, so you can play them in class, at shows and in promo videos.

Can I use a SongUp AI song in a dance competition?

We found no studio-competition rulebook that bans AI-made music, and the skating union allowed it at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Each competition writes its own rules, though, so check yours. A song made on a paid plan is yours to perform to, with a certificate of ownership you can show anyone at songupai.com/verify.

Can I set the exact BPM?

You write the BPM and the engine aims for it, but it doesn’t always land exactly on it. Run the finished song through the free Key & BPM Finder; if it’s off, the free Speed Changer moves it to your tempo without changing the key.

How long are the songs? My routine must be under 2:45.

Songs usually come out between about 1:40 and 3:00. To fit a time limit, cut it with the free Audio Cutter and add a fade-out; for a longer routine, join two songs with the Audio Joiner. Most competitions allow 2:45 to 3:00 for solos and duos and 3:00 to 4:00 for groups, but check your rulebook.

Will it count 5, 6, 7, 8?

Yes, if you keep the count-in on in the builder: it adds a “five, six, seven, eight” at the start so everyone starts together. Our studio example starts with one. Counts inside the song (“one, two, three, four, jump”) work too when they’re in the lyrics.

Can I post the song under my studio’s Instagram Reels and TikToks?

Yes. Business accounts can only pick songs from the platforms’ commercial music libraries, which is why so many studio reels end up muted. Upload a song you made on a paid plan with the video as your own audio. Your studio’s ASCAP or BMI licence covers music played in the room, not videos or streamed classes.

Can I get a version without vocals for practice?

Yes. Choose “Instrumental” as the voice to make one with no singing at all, or split any song you made with the Stem Separator (any paid plan) and keep the drums and music without the vocal.

Can it sing names in Hindi, Punjabi or Spanish for a sangeet or quinceañera?

Yes. Pick “Wedding & family dance”, type the names and choose the language: our sangeet example sings “Riya and Arjun” in Hindi and our quinceañera example sings “Valentina” in Spanish. Spell a name the way it sounds if it’s unusual.

Can I make my own Zumba or dance fitness music?

You can make your own Latin dance fitness songs at the tempo of each block, with your class name and your cues sung in. They’re your songs, not Zumba® music, and on a paid plan you can use them in your classes and videos.

Is the music clean for kids?

Our lyrics for recitals and kids classes are clean, and you can read and edit every word before you make the song. When the app writes the words for you, add “clean lyrics” to the description.

What does it cost?

You can hear 30 seconds of your own song free with a free account. One full song is $2.99, paid once. Pro is $9.99 a month for 21 songs, enough for a new class or routine track every week, and the first month is currently $1 for 5 songs. Cancel anytime from your account.
