Learn to Country Dance

Training and community building app for country dancers.

Role: Product Designer (Concept Project)
Scope: Research, UI design, Branding, UX flow, Wireframes, Prototyping
Timeline: 3 months

Overview:
I originally thought the biggest obstacle to country dancing was not knowing the dances, but after my research I discovered that people are less afraid of learning and more concerned about where to go and when.
Survey Results:

78%

said social connection and fun were the primary reasons to go dancing.

80%

don’t know where or when to go dancing.

What I’d Do Differently

Swap to venue discovery as the primary focus and have library be second.
