Ayoo Dance
Project idea
The main idea of Ayoo Dance is to give dancers a place where they can show their skills and communicate.
Target audience
The audience of this social networking app is people who are fond of dancing and looking for a place to dance and compete with friends online, watch performances of other dancers, and just connect with like-minded people.
Project challenges
- Advanced processing and distribution of media content
- The necessity to find and import an appropriate initial content
- Use of high-performance servers to provide an instant content delivery to the end user
Solution
Our engineering team built a mobile solution that is able to generate a community in a short-term period and a web-based admin panel for this project.
Clients had the vision on:
- Business model basics
- Initial design concept
- Desired list of features
- Project release deadline
Steps we took to analyze the received information:
- Involvement of a Dedicated Business Analyst
- Over 12 meetings held
This stage led to:
- Technical requirements
- Initial design concept
- Desired list of features
- Project estimate
Main features of the project
After all the requirements were set and analyzed, our development team got to work.
Implementing a heavy video processing functionality
Ayoo heavily relies on the functionality, which is called an in-app Duet. Basically, Duet is two videos tied together in order to allow people in different places to create a left-right dances comparison which is 100% synced to one another.
Building the management console for the app
Since Ayoo Dance is a social network, we had the need to control the whole application from the single source which evolved into a super-admin panel. It allows to gather user data, have full control over tutorials and hand-crafted notification system, and many more.
Setting up a voting feature
Feedbacks from the app's audience revealed that users want not only to dance with each other but battle and vote for the best performance. To give users what they want, we introduced a battle mode allowing to vote for one or another contestant.

“Cleveroad is very responsive and attentive via Slack, documenting all of our conversations to better organize the workflow. Communication is key to our partnership. We feel like they’re a part of our company, rather than an outsourced partner.”
Project manager
“Despite only being an MVP at first, our app’s user feedback is largely positive, specifically regarding its performance and speed. Cleveroad worked at a good pace, delivering reliable and stable code.”
