Look at the majority of todays beam routines. Most of the choreography is something like step pose step step pose ect. There isn't much to it. There is no "real" dancing in most beam choreography. Does anybody else notice this or is it just me? Would it be wierd to get up and dance on the beam? I want my beam routine to be different this year. Do you think it would be just plain silly to get up and dance inbetween my skills? I want to make my routine stand out and interesting, but not look out of place. Would a beam routine look good the choreography was one specific dance style, be it ballet, hip hop, salsa, jazz, disco or some kind of cultural dance style. I believe that the routine would have "mouvement" something most routines seem to be lacking. Could you imagine a disco style beam routine? What would you think if you saw somebody doing the salsa on the beam? Cool or lame?
