What is the best way to choreograph a dance to a song?
-
Please teach me the basics and don't answer things like it depends on what song because I just want to know the basics of creating a really cool choreography to a song. Thanks! Also, can you please teach me how you can determine how many counts there are in a song and how many beats there are in a song. Don't ask what song is it because I just want to know what you can listen to find out the beats and counts of a song. Thanks again! =] =] =]

Answer:
listen to the music over and over and try to get a rhythm in your head. if you can't quite picture it then go to a dancer or musician who knows how to do that. make sure you listen to it over and over and get a feel for the music. then, picture what kind of steps you want to go to it. go on youtube, they might have a music video or someone dancing to it that might give you some ideas. if you see a cool dance move that you know you can do and it's not a total misfit like a hip-hop move to a lyrical dance, then you can add that on. keep the choreography moving, you don't want to stay in one place for too long. add jumps, spins, kicks, whatever you want. when you add a new step make sure you add the timing and know how many 8 counts it's going to take. and make sure to keep going over and over your dance. you don't want to forget the choreography. good luck with your dance!

Well, most songs are written in 4/4, so the counts are in eights. As far as the number of counts per song goes, it depends on the length of the song, there is no set amount of counts. I agree with the first answer, just listen to song until you know or at least are familiar with the music, lyrics, and beats. Usually if I have to choreograph something, then I get familiar with music until I can sort of visualize movements that go with the counts and music. If you are having trouble with the counting, then just choreograph the dance to the words. Try to think outside of the box to make different choreography and step out of your comfort zone. Good luck, making choreography is so much fun!!
