Assessing Your Team’s Skill Level

Before you even think about music, it’s essential to assess your team’s skill level accurately. Consider these factors:

• Skill Range: Is your team made up of beginners, intermediates, or advanced athletes?
• Routine Complexity: Are you aiming for simple routines or complex formations and stunts?
• Competition Level: Are you competing locally, or do you have your eyes set on national or global championships?
