How do I get started as a choreographer?

Question

I am a dancer and figure skater who would love to start choreographing for skaters and dancers...i have so many good ideas, but don't know how to start. Most of the teachers/coaches i know do their own work.

Answer 1

you must just find the music you like and just move to the beat. use your ideas and find a dancer or skater to teach it to and find a show to perform it at so others can see your work as well. after practice you will get better and your work will become more popular.

Answer 2

Choreograph something for yourself and then enter in competitions and show your work. Then If it is amazing and people like it they will ask you to do something with them. =) good luck and have fun.

Answer 3

for skating, choreographers are either famous (olympics, nationals) or coaches... however work your way up by finding people to choreograph for start in the lowest levels then with your experience move up to higher levels (eventually novice, jr., sr.)

for dance its just about getting yourself and your talents known. put some choreo on youtube, offer to help a studio or some solo dancers...
