1 It is tough process. Dancing outside of the comfort zone is one of the hardest step. Analyze each step and each step is new. Creativity is the one of the most valuable characteristcs, but the process is pretty tough. I do need to forget the movements before and think about something new. Explore something unknown and fill the blank. I alos need to remember what I create and organize them into a series of movements. 

2 It works. I believe that an amzing and excellent series of dancing movments is consisted of many components, and music is one of the most important. Music is a background to develop a surrounding not only for the dancers, but also for the watchers. Musical rhythm is helpful to guide the dancers to create and express what they think. Also, the rhythm can guide audience to understand further about dancing movements. 

3 Music is amaizng palyed by various instuments. Harmony and melody is my favorite. I would like to put them into my chosen music.
