Understanding User Needs:

The project began with a deep dive into the needs and goals of the target audience: beginner Forro dance enthusiasts. Through user research (mention specific methods used if applicable, e.g., interviews, surveys), I identified key user pain points:

• Difficulty finding clear and structured Forro dance instruction.

• Intimidation from complex dance terminology and techniques.

• Lack of personalized feedback on learning progress.

Collaborative Design & Iteration:

• Wireframing & Prototyping: I created low-fidelity wireframes to establish the app's core functionalities and information architecture. Then, I iterated on the design based on client feedback and user testing.

• Focus on Clarity & Usability: During design iterations, I prioritized clear navigation, intuitive step breakdowns, and easy access to instructional videos.

• Accessibility Considerations: The app design was developed with accessibility in mind, ensuring a smooth learning experience for users with varying technical skills and physical abilities.

Visual Design & User Engagement:

• A Vibrant & Engaging Aesthetic: The user interface was designed with a visually appealing and energetic style to reflect the joy and passion of Forro dance.

• Step-by-Step Visual Guides: Clear and concise step demonstrations through high-quality videos were prioritized for effective learning.

• Progressive Difficulty Levels: The app was structured with a clear progression system (Levels 1, 2, 3) to build user confidence and track learning progress.

Admin Panel Design:

• Intuitive Interface: A user-friendly admin panel was designed to empower app administrators to add dance steps, manage instructor profiles, and update content efficiently.

• Scalability & Growth: The admin panel was designed to accommodate the app's potential growth, allowing for easy addition of new dance steps and instructors in the future.

The outcome? A user-friendly and engaging mobile app that empowers beginners to embrace the joy of Forro dance at their own pace.
