Tap Into Your Creativity with Our Free Choreography Brainstorm Map This Week




Are you a dancer teacher eager to elevate your students' choreography? Do you see your students struggling to bring their ideas to life? If you answered yes, you're in for a treat! This week, we are thrilled to introduce our newest free resource: the Choreography Brainstorm Map! This tool is designed to help you and your students dive into choreography topics and transform your creative thoughts into fully realized dances.


In this post, we will explore the benefits of the Choreography Brainstorm Map, how to use it effectively, and why it is essential for every dancer. Whether you’re a seasoned choreographer or just starting your journey, this map can be your new best friend in the creative process.


What is the Choreography Brainstorm Map?


The Choreography Brainstorm Map is a visual tool that helps you structure and clarify your choreography ideas. Imagine a large circle in the center labeled with your main idea or theme. From this central point, you can branch out into six subtopics that directly relate to your main theme.


Each subtopic can include various elements:


  • Quotes: Use lines from your favorite artists or authors related to your theme. For instance, if your theme is "Freedom," a quote from Maya Angelou could add depth: “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”

  • Descriptions: Write short summaries that capture your thoughts about each subtopic. For example, if one subtopic is “Nature,” describe how the beauty of wind and trees influence movement.


  • Keywords: Note key terms that resonate with your ideas, such as “fluidity,” “resilience,” or “expression.”


  • Supporting Ideas: Add notes to connect different branches, ensuring a cohesive flow in your ideas.


The visual layout keeps dancers organized and helps delve deeper into their choreography.


How to Use the Choreography Brainstorm Map


Getting started with the Choreography Brainstorm Map is a simple process that can significantly boost your creative flow. Follow these steps:


  1. Download Your Map: Grab your free copy! We provide both a colorful version and a black-and-white option, ideal for printing multiple copies for classes.


  2. Identify Your Main Idea: Write your main choreography theme in the center circle. This might be something like “Joy,” “Conflict,” or “Transformation.”


  3. Branch Out with Subtopics: Think of six aspects that relate to your main theme. For instance, if your main idea is “Struggle,” your subtopics may include “Emotions,” “Physical Barriers,” “Support Systems,” “Societal Expectation,” “Historical Context,” and “Personal Experience.”


  4. Fill it In: Start jotting down notes, keywords, quotes, and ideas for each subtopic. The more you write, the clearer your vision will become!


Breaking down your thoughts helps visualize connections, leading to meaningful and cohesive choreography.
