Doing something alone is always more difficult, especially when it comes to creativity. Moreover, if - dance. And the moment when you have to stand on stage alone, you so want to make it the most perfect. After all, it is with the help of dance that one can express the most subtle feelings of the soul, thoughts and the most intimate ideas. First of all, because the dance speaks a language that everyone understands - the language of the body. How to achieve this and how to compose the dance yourself?

Instructions
Step 1
Choose music. Don't be guided by styles and trends in contemporary dance. Let music be the main guide and guide. Just play the music you like. Stand in the middle of the room, close your eyes, listen. It doesn't matter whether this music is sad or funny. The main thing is that you feel harmony while listening. When your body feels that it wants to move - let it do it. Surrender to this impulse and start improvising. Move around the room as freely as possible. Remember that you have no one and nothing to be ashamed of. It's just you and the music in the room. If you want to control your movements, you can dance in front of the mirror. But it's best not to be guided by anything and be absolutely free.
Step 2
Listen to the selected song again. Study its structure - any musical composition has it. You can build a dance based on the development of the melody, think about the message that you want to convey to the audience together in the dance.
Stand in front of the mirror and start moving, already focusing on the sound more consciously, for convenience count - "one and two and three and four and … (up to eight)". Each movement that will seem to you to be successful, born in union with music - memorize, repeat several times. To do this, stop the music at any necessary moment. Gradually, the composition of the dance itself will begin to build. Connect the movements with each other in such a way that they plastically come out of one another.
Don't be afraid to pause, just stand still for a few seconds. In dance, a lively pulsation is important, because it consists of both moments of action and moments of rest. Do not forget to observe the rule of the highest point - in the dance, along with the beginning and the denouement, there must be a climax - the brightest moment in which you will reveal yourself one hundred percent.
Step 3
Keep in mind that dancing for one person is much more difficult to stage than for a group. Just because doing something alone in front of many spectators is always more difficult. Therefore, come up with a dance in parts, and at the same time, you do not have to start with the first one. Group all movements into blocks and develop each block as a separate little dance. This will make it easier to hold the structure. Make sure that the movements you have invented are stylistically suitable for each other, logically born one from the other.
Try to avoid rough "splits" - fractions of a second when you are waiting for a change in musical theme to start a new movement. Fill in such gaps with movement.
