Choosing styles for my dances
These are the styles that I want to do the dances in:
- Hiphop
- Commersial
- Contemporary
I chose these styles as they are the ones that I feel most comfortable doing, as well as them being easy beginner styles, apposed to say for instance ballet which is very difficult to start as an adult.
Here's a list of dance techniques/styles that I want to have in at least one of the dances:
- Floor work
- Playing with speeds
- Soft/hard
- Energy based
- Groove
For the dances I want them to be aimed towards multiple genders, however the dances will have a style that is typically associated with specific genders. For instance commercial or floor work is typically associated with female based dances as they are things that male dancers weren't really taught in the past. A example of a more masculine dance style would be hiphop, this is because it is a dance that was mainly taught to males in the past due to the powerful nature of the dance.
Because the dances are mean to be inclusive to all people, I want to create at least one dance that is typically more masculine or feminine. I'll have the commercial and floor work ones as more feminine and the hiphop and groove one as a more masculine. I tend to do more feminine dances, however I have been trained in masculine ones too, so most of the dances will probably end up being more typically feminine as that is what I tend to stray towards when choreographing.
I want the dances to have a range of difficulties as they need to be for all people, beginner or advanced dancer. So I am going to make at least one dance in each difficulty, hard, medium, and easy. I can do all of these difficulties but I in general find it quite difficult to choreograph easy dances as I haven't been a beginner dancer in a long time, and tend to work with other dancers that have higher skill levels.
