Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Replace a blur of steps with specific cues for where your weight goes, which way you face, what gets accented, and how each move connects.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Describe the movement in rough language. Include which foot moves first and where you think your weight lands. Imperfect notes are enough.
Advanced instructions
Include exact facings, level changes, initiation points, syncopation, and whether an action finishes on the count or passes through it. Compare the cue map with the source choreography before going full-out.
Use this when
One eight-count keeps falling apart, a transition feels unclear, or rehearsal time is too short to keep restarting the full combination.
