Photos of a dancer underneath.", icon: , }, { n: 3, title: "practice", sub: "with a real song", body: "Each step pairs with a public-domain garba track and a waveform you can scrub. Loop the chorus, slow the tempo, learn at your own speed.", icon: {Array.from({ length: 22 }).map((_, i) => ( ))} , }, ].map(({ n, title, sub, body, icon }) => (
