How do you compose dance steps?

Hi: This is a very tricky question. Most choreographers fail because they simply put together an amalgamtion of steps that they have learned and like. Good choreo:

1. interprets music and movement

2. acquiesces the dancer's body, style, etc

3. uses the space and time (different from musical time) properly

4. and most importantly, makes dance sense, both to the dancer and to the audience. This means that the movements have to work like a sentence or story that not just strings a bunch of movements and shapes together because they are cool, but that the audience can follow, understand, and enjoy. a good example would be if someone were speaking to you in old english, you might understand the sounds, but the words and sentence structure wouldn't make sense.
