Coaches What makes good choreography?

[dmytv]

OK, so after our level 5s and 6s compete State, we will be switching them over to xcel for the spring. Since I have a dancing background I have been volunteered to do their routines. I know all the rules for xcel, and I know how to choreograph for a show, but what is the difference in a gym floor routine. Are there moves that judges like or don't like to see? Just looking for ideas.

Look at video from the past.....way past, like from the early to late 70's for dance combinations and positions. Those years include enough examples, aren't "packed" with so much difficulty (dance wise) that would be beyond your group, well maybe , and provide good examples of traditional positions and poses. Just don't get bored with the tumbling passes prior to 1979.
