How choreographers find their music

Every wonder how choreographer find their amazing music? Its always so unique and often times, something you've never heard before. When I grow up, I want to be a choreographer when I grow up so I am always looking for cool new songs.

-Make playlists

Once they find a song that they like, they'll make a playlist on Youtube or Spotify. That way they can remember what songs they like and they can always go through them. When they want to choreograph a dance, they can just go through all of their saved songs and find the perfect one.

-Search on YouTube: It takes a long time to search for music. Choreographers will search up one song that they already know they like. For me, I looked up the song that my solo is to. Once I do that, I will click a song that looks interesting from the "Up Next" videos on the left side. Then, once you find a song that you like, add it to a Youtube playlist, and then keep clicking up next over and over. It obviously doesn't have to be the very first one that is up next. This is a fantastic way to find new songs that are just likes ones you are listening to. Youtube recommends songs that it thinks you will like because it is just like your previous searches. Here is an example of what my Youtube playlist looks like and a whole bunch of songs that you may like too!
