You need to choreograph a dance that tells a story or explores an idea in response to a prompt or challenge. Your dance should use movement, space, and how dancers relate to each other to develop your idea and bring it to a clear conclusion. The work shows your understanding of dance as an art form that communicates meaning through structured, intentional movement.

- ·Select and arrange shapes, movements, and spatial patterns that deliberately develop your idea throughout the dance
- ·Use relationships between dancers (unison, complementary, or contrasting movements) and clear structure to organize your choreography
- ·Make deliberate choices about rhythm, phrasing, transitions, and how movements flow together to support your artistic intention
- ·Refine your dance through repetition, contrast, climax, and other choreographic techniques so it feels complete and unified
