Hannah says
Have you ever consider writing out the steps like this for other variations? Like maybe Bluebird, Lilac, and others? If you ever have the time, it would be appreciated! It’s very helpful for people like me who have trouble remembering choreography. It’s a great study aid/refresher.

This is cool. Can you post more choreography to other variations? This is very helpful.
