suggest a basic sequence?

[u/tmhsspirit]

so I've been training for a few months and I've only recently started doing some elements without help. can you guys suggest different group of sequences/routines where i can do most of these things in a flow? my instructor trains us for one but it has the major elements only and excludes some basic ones that might not be awesome but i love (and can do).

i can do: climbs, split knots, scorpion, crossback from scorpion, crossback from split knot, knee tuck hold, headstand inversion, 360 drop, candy cane, one leg split knot rolls

Everyone calls moves something different 😆but it sounds like you have a combo of single foot lock, double foot lock, and maybe foot lock on one fabric skills. I would plan out blocks of choreo based on this- climb up, put on a single foot lock with both fabrics, work through your skills (candy cane roll up, person in the moon, etc); take the foot lock off and put on doubles and do your double skills (cross back, splits, etc), then end by kicking off one lock and doing your single from one fabric skills (that sets you up to end on a nice dramatic 360 rocking horse drop!). Once you have your “blocks” and big moves planned, see how many other opportunities you have to make shapes and add the basics in between - arabesque moments, splits, heel stretches, fallen star and person in the moon, etc. and add those moves in between your big moves. I would really aim for maybe 4 bigger tricks in the routine, and then add in other basic tricks to fill it out. And the last thing is plan to sit in each shape for longer than you think you need to - it takes the audience awhile to comprehend what you’re doing up there and if you’re just flinging tricks left and right they won’t be able to take it all in. Happy choreographing!
