Build a Count Map for the Full Combo

Also useful for: Dancers, people in Creative

30 min Advanced Creative Planning Build a Skill

Break a full combo into a compact reference you can scan before rehearsal and use to rebuild sections from memory.

We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play

Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.

Recall the full combo faster by tying every phrase to counts, lyrics, facings, levels, movement anchors, and transitions without filling gaps with guesses.

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.

01 Gather the Full Sequence Put every remembered section into performance order before cleaning the notation. Include partial details and visible uncertainty.
02 Find Phrase Boundaries Use count resets, lyric changes, travel shifts, facing changes, level changes, and major movement ideas to divide the combo into usable phrases.
03 Produce the Count Map Align each phrase's counts with its lyric cue, movement anchor, direction, level, facing, and transition.
04 Test the Weak Links Use the continuity check and recall ranking to target the shortest set of phrases that could disrupt the full run.

Use this when

You learned a long combo quickly, your notes are scattered, or several sections start blending together between rehearsals.

You'll need

  • Music and Version
  • Combo Range
  • Count Structure
  • Choreography Notes
  • Trouble Spots
  • Map Format

Fill these in the prompt workspace.

You'll get

  • Every phrase placed in sequence
  • Every known count and lyric cue aligned
  • Every major direction, level, facing, and movement change recorded
  • Every uncertain or conflicting detail visibly flagged
  • Highest-risk transitions ranked for the next rehearsal.

By the end of this playbook

You will have:

  • Every phrase placed in sequence
  • Every known count and lyric cue aligned
  • Every major direction, level, facing, and movement change recorded
  • Every uncertain or conflicting detail visibly flagged
  • Highest-risk transitions ranked for the next rehearsal.
