Stage Formation Planner

Plan optimal dancer positions and see how much space each performer has

Why stage formations matter

Proper dancer spacing is crucial for both safety and visual impact. When dancers are too close together, movements get restricted and collisions become likely. Too far apart, and the stage looks empty and the choreography loses its impact.

This planner helps you find the sweet spot. Enter your stage dimensions and the number of dancers in your piece, and you will instantly see how much personal space each dancer has. The visual layout shows an optimised formation that maximises spacing while keeping the group together.

Different choreography styles need different amounts of space. Large ensemble pieces can work with tighter spacing, while contemporary solos need room for floor work and travelling. Use this tool to verify your stage can accommodate your choreography safely.
