Choreography

If you're interested in choreographing dances for practice or for fun, there's an easy way to think of it. Really, theres only seven main movements in dance. They are...
Bending
Traveling
Turning
Stretching/Extending
Jumping
Lifting
Swinging


Of course there are other things dancers do, but most of the time they
are just combinations of some of the above movements. If you don't know what to choreograph, just go back to the basics and tweak the moves until they become more difficult.

Other Choreography tips:

Use the music - It's pretty easy. Just listen to the music and move with it. It's almost as if you're not dancing with the music, but your movements control the music. I hope that makes sense. Also, make sure you're doing the right type of dancing. Obviously you wouldn't be doing hip hop moves to ballet music. Why? Because it doesn't fit with it. Just be sure every movement fits with the type of song, notes, and rhythm and you should be fine.

Use the seven movements - You can make a very basic moves more advanced by putting together two or more of the movements listed above. Test it out! Try to make a move using as many of the movements from the list as you can.

Change it up - Don't do the same move over and over because it gets boring. Try changing it up a bit. Also don't always do the cliché moves. Everyone's seen them. It's fine to use cool moves you've seen places, but make them your own somehow.

God GOAL of the Week: Don't ignore others

A lot of times people will ignore others who are less popular or not as fun to hang out with. You don't have to be around those people 24/7 but just don't act like they're not there. If they have something to say, listen to them. Also, don't ignore people just because they ignore you. Listen to what they have to say too, and maybe someday they'll return the favor.

Hope you guys liked the tips in this blog! Let me know if you tried combining the movements. Thank you!
