Self Choreographing

[carterturner]

Just did a quick search and found some super talented dancers choreographing their own pieces! My DD is going to be choreographing a contemporary dance for herself to enter in a district wide art competition (visual or performing) at school. She has played around in the past choreographing short dances for herself (or for me- only to be performed in front of our family at Thanksgiving after a minimum of 3 glasses of wine - and no video allowed [smile]

Just curious if anyone has suggestion on where to start with this process or anything your young choreographers found useful through the process? We have a theme and two potential songs so I think we've got a good start, I have no idea how to proceed next.

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
