You need to perform at least two different dance sequences that are made up of connected movements. You must show that you can control your body, use the right amount of energy, and perform with focus so the audience understands what the dance is about. The sequences can be ones you've choreographed yourself or ones created by your teacher or classmates — and you can perform solo, with a partner, or in a group.
