About Oblige
A tool for movement as a craft.
Oblige exists because of a gap you can feel: the depth of real coaching and the shallowness of the tools that carry it. A good coach prescribes tempo, intent, position, progression — and then watches a spreadsheet or a mainstream app flatten all of it into three-sets-of-eight.
I’m Enrique Velasco, a professional dancer. Movement is my profession in the most literal sense: my working life is built on control, range, and skills that took ordered years — not routines — to earn. When I went looking for software that treated training that way, it didn’t exist. So I’m building it.
Oblige treats movement as a skill: something with prerequisites, steps, tests, and a goal — and it treats prescription as a language worth encoding faithfully. Coaches author their method in a studio that speaks their vocabulary; athletes run sessions in an app designed for focus, not engagement metrics.
What Oblige believes
Prescription is a language.
Tempo, cues, and progression logic deserve first-class structure, not notes fields.
The coach is the intelligence.
Oblige encodes your method; it doesn’t generate a substitute for it.
Honesty over polish-theater.
What’s live is live, what’s coming is labeled, and history data never lies — what was prescribed and done is what’s recorded.
Focus over engagement.
No streaks, no badges, no ads. A training tool should want your attention during training, and not otherwise.
Oblige is independent and built with founding coaches — a small group whose real programming is shaping the client-delivery layer right now.If that could be you, start here.
