have fun!
just think about the music and wat it requires in the dance (i mean, ur not goin to do ballet to sumfink by basement jax really r u?)
show the emotion of the song and just let the music inspire u
also, if ur stuck, take an eight from a dance uve done before and alter it slightly to make it ur own and if u can, show some flexability (a split leap, backwards walkover or even a cartwheel is really effective)
and like i said
HAVE FUN!!!!!

Dang! You get to make up a dance? How cool! Jeez, I'd love to do that. But you are the lucky one.

Draw up a little diagram of some steps on notebook paper. Draw little round foot prints, label them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Try them out in your back yard. Repeat them three times, then do a new series of steps and try them. One last time, a new sequence of steps, try them. Change anything you don't like. All you've done is draw 24 little circles on three pieces of paper, and now you have a dance! This is really, really great.

Some people have all the fun!

just have a laugh you only live once and most say that the best days of your life are at school

Well is it a solo dance or a group dance? It's easier to choreograph a solo because you only have yourself to worry about and you can improvise if you go wrong. However, in a group dance you can have your friends with you to help you through it and it can be a laugh. By the sounds of it you will probably have to do it anyway but if you're really freaked about it then go and talk to your teacher and explain.
I suggest looking on youtube at some dance videos to give you some inspiration. I find this is always useful when it comes to choreographing a dance. Try not to worry though because I presume everyone else in your class is in the same position as you so it's not so bad.

I know it's tough if choreography and performing aren't something you're comfortable with.

Try and get inspired and watch dance videos on YouTube, etc. Obviously don't take others' choreography - but watching and learning is really helpful.

Search for things like "dance competitions" or "dance champions".

Get a group of friends together and see if they can help. I know I get nervous when I have to choreograph something, but my friends help a lot.

if ur thinkin in ur mind that u hate to make up dances, then ur outcome will b poor. but if ur thinking this will b fun i love to dance!! then ur dance will b awesome!!! trust me it works. and just relax and have fun with it.

good luck :]]
