I'm only 12 but I have made some very impressive choreography.
When I hear a piece of music I like, I instantly see a group of dancing people in my head. its like they encourage and inspire me to do something with the music that no one else can do.
I've been making my own choreography for about 2 years now, and you can really see the difference in mine, and my friend's dancing and movement skills. When my friend and I perform the dances that I have made and practiced everyone is thrilled. Trust me it's a good feeling for someone to compliment and cheer you on like that.
I know I'm young but here are some things that might help you with your choreography:
- listen to the music a few times and imagine some of the steps.
- while listening, concentrate hard on the lyrics-the lyrics might help with some movements.
- don't start from the beginning if you can't think of anything-there isn't a deadline so take your time.
- practice it when ever you have time-if you forget about it you might miss a beneficial opportunity.
- if you're dancing in a group make sure the other people know how to dance.
- don't get discouraged!!! I've had lots of breakthroughs and just as many if not more major breakdowns!
- lastly, perform your dance. you're not going to get anywhere in life if you don't present your ideas to anyone.
