About this app

Dance Formations: Reblock is a dance formation planner for adult choreographers and dance captains who need to repair cast changes without losing the original stage blocking. Build a reusable routine master, make a performance-specific repair, and give each performer a clear rehearsal update from the same saved version.

PLAN DANCE FORMATIONS AROUND REAL ROLES
Create performers and choreography roles as separate parts of the routine. A performer can cover a role without changing what the choreography requires, so the master remains useful when casting changes again. Give performers quick aliases, assign roles, add formations, and keep the planned sequence organized for rehearsal.

BUILD AN INTENTIONAL STAGE PICTURE
Place performer marks on a clear 2D stage for each formation. Start with practical line, row, and circle layouts, then move individual marks into the positions your routine needs. Duplicate a formation to preserve a useful count, rename it for the musical or rehearsal moment, and adjust the copy instead of rebuilding the whole stage picture. Stage orientation stays visible while you work.

KEEP IMPORTANT MARKS STEADY
Lock anchor positions that should not move during an adjustment. Select a line of performers, preview a coordinated move, and accept the change only when it fits the intended formation. Use the complete stage view to review the whole cast rather than judging one changed mark in isolation.

REPAIR AN ABSENCE THROUGH THE WHOLE COVER CHAIN
Mark an unavailable performer, choose the formations affected by that absence, and assign an understudy or cover. Reblock follows the dependency created by that decision: when someone moves into another role, the role they leave behind stays visible as the next vacancy to solve. Continue until required roles are covered across the selected formations instead of stopping after the first substitution.

SEE CONFLICTS BEFORE THE REHEARSAL UPDATE
Keep unresolved vacancies and partner-role issues visible while the repair is in progress. Retire a choreography role explicitly when the production no longer needs it, while preserving its requirements anywhere it still belongs. The app presents authored assignment and partner information for review; the choreographer remains in control of every casting and spacing decision.

COMPARE THE MASTER WITH THE REPAIRED VERSION
Review each affected performer's old and new role, stage position, formation count, and partner details against the saved routine master. See which details stayed the same and which ones changed. Open the complete resolved formation from that same accepted version so the individual change list and the full stage picture cannot drift apart.

TURN THE REPAIR INTO A REHEARSAL HANDOFF
Save an accepted rehearsal snapshot when the variant is ready. Open a performer-focused changed-marks view for a concise explanation of that person's updates, then create a frozen PDF or image when you need a shareable reference. The exported handoff comes from the selected saved version, giving the team a stable rehearsal document instead of a moving draft.

SAVE MASTERS AND PERFORMANCE VARIANTS SEPARATELY
Keep the original routine master intact while saving repaired variants for specific performances or casting situations. Duplicate a routine when another production needs a useful starting point. Reopen saved work for later rehearsal, compare a variant with its master, or remove an item you no longer need with an undo opportunity.

BACK UP THE PROJECT YOU CHOOSE
Routine data stays on your device. Create a project backup and restore it when moving or recovering your work. The backup retains editable routine structure, not only a rehearsal image.

MADE FOR REPEATED CAST-CHANGE WORK
Use Reblock for dance formations, choreography planning, stage blocking, understudy coverage, substitute assignments, and performer rehearsal notes. It is designed for the adult creator turning a cast conflict into a rehearsal-ready stage picture.
