Choreographer's Playbook
Musicality Mapping
Before you start moving, listen to your track at least 10 times. Map out the drum patterns, vocal inflections, and instrumentation changes. The best choreographers don't just dance to the beat—they dance to every element of the music.
BPM Strategy
Build your choreography repertoire across different BPM ranges. Start with slower tracks (85-95 BPM) to focus on technique, then gradually work up to faster tempos (100-115 BPM) to develop speed and precision.
Energy Arc Design
Structure your piece with intentional energy shifts. Use verses for technical showcases, build energy during pre-choruses, and release during hooks. The most memorable pieces take audiences on a journey.
Signature Moves
Identify 2-3 unique musical moments in each track where you can place your signature moves. These become the memorable highlights that audiences will remember long after the performance ends.
Remember: The best choreography feels like the music was made for the movement, and the movement was born from the music. Use these playlists as your foundation, but don't be afraid to explore and discover tracks that speak to your unique style. The connection between sound and movement is deeply personal—find what makes your choreography sing.
Keep grooving, keep growing.
