how to map out a good show/competition program?
February 9th, 2010
This is a tough skill for whatever reason. We see too many programs that have all the spins in the same place, or both lutz jumps in the exact same spot. I can not give away all my secrets or those that have choreographed for me, but here are a few things to consider:
- Space out all the elements so they are not all in the same place.)
- Change your direction so your patterns alternate from clockwise to counterclockwise, and forward to backward.
- Edit your music to lend itself to a good layout. (click Music editing for more information)
- Where is your audience sitting that you need to perform to? Judges are in one spot, some shows are one, two, three, or four sides. You will have a good response as long as you perform to your audience!
