this is my 11th year in dancing. i'm not one of those professional dancers, i just go to a little dance studio in my town. next year is my senior year, and i have to do a solo for our dance recital. i also want to dance at my school's talent show. the song i want to dance to is Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade. what are some good contemporary dance moves for this song? i'm flexible, but i can't do crazy jumps and leaps like the pros do! but im graceful and i love to dance. i just need some help! thanks so much (:
I love floor work and if you can do those backward rolls that you slide your foot down, that would be cool ! (= If you can't leapwhat is a serenade , you might want to try stags , which are leaps but you bend one or both of your legs , and they're BEAUTIFUL ! haha , and attitude turns are postively gorgous ! Good luck ! and congrats with almost completing school ! haha (=
The thing about contemporary is that there really aren't any set moves. When choreographing a contemporary routine, you want to avoid the strictness, structure, and technique that other dance styles have, like ballet specifically, because contemporary really has no technique or structure.
You can, of course, take some ballet moves and use those in your choreography, but then that wouldn't be contemporary anymore; thawhat is a serenadet'd be ballet. So what you can do is you can take different moves (ballet, jazz, hip hop, you name it), change them into your own style, and then incorporate them into your choreography. That way you have a completely unique and original piece of choreography that you can rightfully call your own.
Be creative! Take advantage of gravity (many dancers like to use the "rise-and-fall" techinque) and incorporate floor work into your routines. Watch different contemporary routines (you can find tons of them on YouTube) and gather inspiration from them (but don't copy!).
