I am fifteen, and my studio owner assigned me to choreograph five solos this year, and I am kind of at a loss of what songs to use. l asked the girls for any suggustions, but they said they wanted me to pick, or at least give them a few choices.

l need suggustions for a...

1. a jazz solo for an energetic 10 year old

2. A lyrical solo for an 11 year old who is amazingly emotional when she dances. It can be romantic.

3. A jazz solo for a 12 year old who is really strong technically but not overly energetic

4. A lyrical solo for the same 12 year old

5. A lyrical duet with 10 year old (one being the first jazz girl) and her twin sister

Thanks for any help!
