Dance planner

I have been looking into famous hits in the 80's.
 I found a range of different songs, there was 11 songs that I liked, but researching into them more, I narrated it down to 4 songs. 2 of them I really enjoyed listening to them, due to the beat it made it alot more interesting and connected with the styles I am focusing on.

The songs that I am focusing on at the moment are;
  • 'Push it' by salt and pepper.  
  • pump up the jam' Technotronic
  • PYT / michael jackson
I really am focusing on the Pump up the jam song due to so many styles that could interpret into this dance, exspecially house which is what I am choreographing at the moment.
This song has an up beat and due to this I can therefore make the piece that I am choreographing, dynamics very strong and bouncy, with alot of characterisation.

I found some famous moves that were created in the 80's.
  • Moon walk due to Michael Jackson
  • The electric slide, this required alot of foot co-ordination and movement from left and right
  • The Cabbage Patch I had already learnt in lesson, this was all control in the arms, with sharpe dynamics.
  • Rogger Rabbit -
  • The sprinkler
  • The Running man
  • The worm, this is well known in todays century.
