Choose a combination you wish to apply to the floor. This should not be overly complex as two many visuals on the floor will become confusing. A simple combination with fewer than five steps will be best. A combination that can be repetitive and fluid will work well as well.
Cut out shoe-shaped cutouts from a poster board. Lay out the cutouts from the entire combination on the floor to represent each step the dancer takes.
Label each foot left or right with an "L" or "R." Number each shoe in the order the foot is placed there during the combination. Use a dark, bold marker for all labeling.
Secure with glue or by placing a clear laminate or clear tape over it, so the shoe is entirely covered.
Use a sturdy sheet of plastic, tarp or poster board to create a less permanent and removable diagram. Either follow the same steps as above, or simply draw the shoe shapes and steps directly onto the plastic. Mount firmly on the ground on a backyard lawn by using nails, or place heavy objects firmly onto the sheet to secure if dancing indoors.
