How it works

# One goal. Two studio paths.

Help your left and right agree with the lesson—without claiming the same overlay on every phone.

Android

## Live horizontal mirror

1. Start a sharing session Fresh user consent is required whenever a screen-sharing session starts.
2. Select a compatible app Live horizontal mirror for compatible apps that permit screen sharing.
3. Practise with the flipped view When sharing is blocked, practise from a local movie in the in-app player instead of forcing an overlay.

iOS

## Import, mirror, practise

1. Pick a local movie A supported iPhone or iPad release with access to a local movie file is required.
2. Flip horizontally Import a local movie, flip it horizontally, and practise with studio tools—speed, loops, markers, and notes.
3. Stay in-app iOS Dancer Mirror is an in-app import practice player. It is not a cross-app overlay and does not claim overlay parity with Android.

## The mirror transform

Left and right exchange on the media plane. Timing and music stay put.
