As a choreographer you have many tasks from collaborating with musicians to choosing costumes. But what do you consider to be your main goal?
 
Teaching your choreography to a group of dancers in a short time period that they can remember for a long time period. 
 
Unfortunately, this is a very difficult task, especially for young choreographers!

Practice maintenance rehearsal so that dancers store your choreography in their long-term memories. 

Emerging Choreographers!
What is Your Mission?

S.T.E.P. is a tutorial system designed to help young choreographers teach their choreography time efficiently while also allowing their dancers to store more choregraphy in their long-term memory. This system implements teaching strategies derived from theories in educational psychology in an easily accessible four-step system.  The system explains strategies for introducing new choreography, teaching choreography, and rehearsing.
