watch videos of different dances. you shouldn't copy, but it will at least give you some ideas of some combos to use. that combined with a lot of your own combos and steps should make a great dance good luck! i have to choreograph a lot at my studio and for my high school singing/dance group so i know it can be tough. the dance TV show can also give you some cool moves, just make sure to make it your own so you don't plagiarize. good luck girl!

Use lots of rythmic movement choregraphed to music.

feel the music and let your body and haert do the rest i know cause i go to dance class

Good:

Flips
Pop and Locking
Handstands
Running up walls
Moving extremely fast

Bad:
Hip thrusts
"Shaking your bootay"
Grinding

Sorry, I have no rhythm at all. Couldn't help if I tried and would probably fall on my way. :)

Find a song.. use movements that go to the song and just put a song on listen to it three times then the fourth just start dancing.. then break up the song into counts of eights and thats where you put moves in that you came up with when you started dancing to it.

Find something that Inspires you!!!!

if u can do that then the moves will just flow- find something to base ur movments around- find a stimulus like a photo,piece of music,a picture, a person, a feeling

look at vids on youtubes they shud help u understand the sort of things to put into a hip hop dance

ok so when i'm stuck i just start dancing freestyle...what ever comes when i play the song. i usually get a few good moves that i choreograph into my dance. you have the moves you just forget them...and if after this ur still stuck...tyry watching music videos etc. take a few moves and combine them together with your own style
