Frequently asked questions

DanceCuts is a music editing platform built specifically for dancers, choreographers, and studios. Whether you’re creating a solo routine or mixing tracks for a team performance, DanceCuts makes it easy to cut, fade, and customize your music with precision. No audio experience needed—just drag, drop, and edit right in your browser. It’s fast, intuitive, and designed to help you create clean, professional-quality mixes without the hassle.

We built DanceCuts because we saw how frustrating and expensive it could be for dancers to get a simple, clean music edit. Most options were either too complicated, too costly, or not designed with dancers in mind. So we created a tool that’s easy to use, affordable, and built specifically for dance—something that lets anyone create a polished mix in minutes, without needing a degree in audio engineering.

Just head to editor.dancecuts.com, create a free account, and you’re ready to start editing. No downloads, no hassle—just upload your music and start cutting. If you get stuck or want to learn more, check out our quick tutorial videos for step-by-step help.

We’re working on better ways to help you find and use music—but for now, we recommend Purchasing MP3s from platforms like Amazon, 7digital or iTunes Store. (Keep in mind: buying an MP3 does not grant copyright permission.) Reminder: We strongly advise against using copyrighted music in your mixes unless you’ve secured permission from the artist or copyright holder.

In rare cases where your song isn’t listed in Amazon or Apple Music’s library, a quick Google search using the song title, artist name, and the phrase "download mp3" can often point you to a site where the MP3 is available for purchase. Once you have the file, just drag and drop it into DanceCuts, or use the "My Computer" import option in the editor. Remember: Purchasing an MP3 doesn’t automatically give you copyright permissions—always make sure you have the right to use the music in your mix.

Short answer: With Apple Music/Spotify/other streaming service, you pay for streaming, not the actual MP3 files. Long answer: Services like Apple Music and Spotify store music in the cloud, making it easy to stream songs without taking up space on your device. However, when it comes to editing music in DanceCuts, you need the actual MP3 file, not just the stream. The best way to get that is by purchasing the MP3 from stores like Amazon Music or iTunes. You only need to buy the song once, and it’s yours to use! Note: Purchasing an MP3 does not grant copyright permissions. Always ensure you have the proper rights to use any music in your mixes.
