The Method Behind the Match
How the Song Analyzer Works
1. Find the BPM
Tap along with the music, type a BPM, or search a song title in our curated catalog. Each method lands on the same number: beats per minute.
2. Match against ranges
Every dance has a tempo window — for example, Cha-Cha works between 120 and 128 BPM. We check the entered BPM against each window and rank the matches.
3. Read the fit quality
A “Sweet spot” means you're right in the middle of the dance's tempo range. “Edge of range” means it works but you're close to the limit. Near-misses (within 5 BPM) appear as alternatives.
A note on the song catalog
The Song Search mode uses an offline catalog of well-known dance tracks so the analyzer works entirely in your browser without needing a network call. If a song isn't in the catalog, the fastest path is the Tap Tempo button — tap with the music for a few seconds and you'll have a reliable BPM.
The Bigger Picture
The Full Tempo Landscape
The Song Analyzer shows you which dances fit your specific BPM. The Tempo Chart below shows the full landscape — every dance, every tempo range, side by side. Slide the marker to explore.
Song Analyzer FAQs
You can determine BPM in three ways: enter the number manually, tap along with the music (the analyzer averages your last few taps), or search for the song title in our offline catalog of common dance tracks.
