Recognize the value of innovation and creativity because these performances allow dancers to interact in more complex ways than solos.
Learn the skill to transition smoothly from solo parts to collective parts.
Use different choreographic devices, such as unison, cannon, mirroring, and counterpoint, to enhance the visual effect.
