Choreo Cards are a classroom choreography card game, exercise and resource for dancers and choreographers. Push through a mind block, upgrade existing choreography or have fun playing a classroom game...all while using REAL core choreography techniques.
​
Choreo Cards are the perfect reference tool for introductory level choreographers as well as experienced level choreographers in ALL styles of dance.
Card Categories
STAGING CARDS (BLUE)
These cards require minimal change or alteration to choreography. However, staging existing choreography can be a little more challenging than you might think.
​
REVISION CARDS (GOLD)
These cards are focused on challenging you to add or change choreography completely; not just alter it.
​
WILD CARDS (MAGENTA)
These cards can definitely be WILD and make you think outside the box. Most cards will require a creative solution in order to complete the suggestion.
A Choreo Tool
Creating choreography can a be a tricky job. Perhaps you're hitting a road block or you're just not feeling some exisisting choreography that you've already set. Somethings missing...I don't know...hmm...
​
GRAB YOUR CHOREO CARDS AND DRAW FROM THE DECK!
​
Use the cards to spark an idea and freshen up exisiting choreography. Even if the suggestion isn't something you would normally do...maybe it doesn't even match the mood or style of the routine. THAT DOESN'T MATTER!
Keep in mind, the purpose of Choreo Cards is not to pull choreography directly from a deck. The BEST way to make the cards work for you, is to MAKE them work for you...literally! By forcing yourself to seamlessly implement a card, you'll inspire and ignite that creative genius from inside. Keep the card suggestion, draw another OR hopefully you're now inspired and have created a new option of your own!
