Why do you need the Pillars?
The hardest part of making choreography is starting. It’s the moment we overthink, stall, and procrastinate.
The Pillars of Choreography changes that. This deck offers a clear structure that reminds us that choreography isn’t about perfection on the first try — it’s an iterative process, a cycle of doing, testing, and returning.
Too often I see students spend hours chasing the “perfect” move or the ”perfect” song. Instead, these cards offer a way to experiment, play, and build choreography step by step. With The Pillars of Choreography “what’s next?” is obvious and the chaos of creating becomes manageable, and dare I say, fun!
