Writing for the same song again, again and again

Perfect. 

 

Perfect is undoubtedly a nice.


It is also one the most popular songs for Wedding couples. 


Therefore, I am not surprised upon receiving several enquiries regarding this same song. 


Being a very responsible dance coach, I write unique choreography for individual couples, even they are dancing to the same song. 


I can of course change the sequence, but there is a problem. 


If one simply creates a 'new' dance by rearranging the moves, the moves may not fit the melody well, and the out-coming dance will look weird. 


Thus this is not a good option. 


However, keeping repeatedly thinking about the same piece of music ensures me to be really familiar with the music- I can even tell the number of bars in the chorus or any particular section. 


I then have another thinking, which is to swap between similar moves. For instances: 


1. replace Natural Turn with Reverse Turn, 

2. modify regular Natural / Reverse Turn by adding a lady's turn in between, 

3. replace Shoulder to Shoulder with Hand to Hand, 

4. Inter-swap Time Step and New York 

5. Change to Circular Hip Twist to a Grapevine,

6. Or, dance the same figure in different positions. 


I think the rearrangement does not produce a new dance, but for beginners, they feel like they have a routine different from other couples, even they are having the same song. 


And the result is, they are satisfied. 


Thus, I am satisfied.
