When I choreograph, particularly for praise dance, I usually improvise over the song a few times when I get stuck. Sometimes it helps to videotape this, so that you can look back and see, "that worked, that didn't; I like this, I don't like that." That way you can get some ideas.
More importantly, though--"Lord, I'm available to you." Make sure you are. Pray through it. Start each session in prayer, and every time you get stuck, "Lord, I'm doing this for your glory. Help me to make this something that will lead your people into worship. I'm available to you, and to what you want to do through me with this dance. Lead my body into the steps you want me to share. Lead my spirit. Dance with me." Keep your focus on. Keep your perspective.
Enjoy dancing with Him.

IDK

Just improvise thats what i do when i praise dance at my church- Saint Mattew AME

Go on Youtube and do a search for lyrical dance or praise dance.

IMPORTANT:
Only do this for 15 minutes at a time.
Once your 15 minutes is up, get OFF the computer, stand up, and use some ideas from the routine you saw.
If you sit and stare at inpiring videos for 2 hours you will just become overwhelmed and uninspired.

once you found a few moves that you like that are original, play your song and use moves that you feel comfortable with, incorporating a few of the newer ones.

write stuff down if possible like move sequenses,
or record yourself.
that way when you wake up in the morning you don't forget it all! *g*

most important is to have fun and get in the spirit. that's what it's all about.

well the truth about dancing is just to have fun with it and just feel the music ecspecially when u r praising the lord.
to find some ideas for ur rountine try watching sum dancing shows on tv and copy and learn some moves they do so u can put it into ur dance.

come up with a couple combanations then work it in to the music
