The document provides instructions for creating homemade choreography. It recommends choosing a song, listening to it to analyze the musical structure, and selecting dance steps to match the rhythm and tempo of the song. The steps should be given names and written out on a homemade prompt sheet. The choreographer practices the routine repeatedly with the help of mirrors and the prompt sheet, gradually adding more steps. Recording and sharing the finished choreography can help get feedback to improve the performance. Most importantly, the process should be enjoyable.
