You teach. We handle the rest.
Set your own prices. Students come to you with a clip and a question, and you answer on the frame.
Questions
For dancers
What is BuffUp?
A place to get feedback on your dancing from a teacher you choose. You upload a practice clip. The teacher draws on the video, records voice notes and writes comments, each one pinned to the second it is about. Nothing happens live, so you both work when it suits you.
What kind of video can I upload?
A practice or performance clip up to five minutes long, as an MP4 of up to 200MB. Everyone who can be recognised in it must have agreed to be filmed and to have the video reviewed. That includes your dance partner. Read more
How do I choose a teacher?
Browse the teachers when you upload and pick one whose dancing you trust.
What do I get back?
Notes on the moments that matter: drawings on the frame, voice notes, written comments and scores. You can play your clip next to the teacher's own, slow it down, and download the whole review to keep.
How long does a review take?
A teacher first decides whether to take your video. If a teacher you invited does not answer within a few days, the invite ends and you can ask someone else. Once they accept, they have a set number of days to send the review, and you see it as soon as they do. Read more
How long do you keep my video?
At least 30 days. After that the video and its feedback are deleted automatically, so download the review if you want to keep it. The download works offline and does not expire. Read more
Do you train AI on my video?
Only if you say yes. We ask when you sign up, nothing is ticked in advance, and you can change your answer in your account settings. The scores and tags from a review do help improve BuffUp, but they describe the movement, not you. Read more
Can I take notes on my own video, without a teacher?
Yes. Upload a clip and choose Take your own notes. You get the same tools a teacher uses: draw on the frame, record voice notes and write comments, each one pinned to the exact second. Add a summary, play a reference clip side by side with yours, and export it all to keep. Only you can see your video and your notes.
What do my own notes cost?
One price per video, shown before you start and paid once. Add, change or remove notes as often as you like after that. Your own notes are kept as long as reviews are, and you can delete them yourself at any time. Read more
Who can join?
Anyone 18 or older. BuffUp is not open to junior dancers yet. Read more
For teachers
Who can teach on BuffUp?
Dance teachers who want to give feedback on video. You apply with a short background and a link to your work, so students can see who they are inviting.
How does reviewing work?
A student sends you a clip and says what they want looked at. You accept or decline, and if you decline you give a reason. Then you pause on the moments that matter and draw on the frame, record a voice note or type a comment. The student sees it all when you submit.
Who sets the price?
You do. You can offer up to three tiers, each with its own price and a note on what it includes. Students see the price before they invite you. Read more
Can I use a student's video elsewhere?
No. You see a student's video because they invited you, and it stays theirs. The Teacher Agreement does not allow reusing it, sharing it or training anything on it. Read more
