Inspiration overload!!!

I don't know if this has happened to anybody else, but, I was sitting and listening to music and then I realized that all of a sudden I was up and dancing around. All the songs I've been listening to have just been incredibly inspiring to me. Most of the time I don't have to really think about it to choreograph something, but this is nuts. I've got a lot of recital pieces started and I'm about halfway done with them. Yeah, I'm aware the recital isn't until June, but I've got an amazing head start this year. Here's some of the music I'm using this year (in case anybody can't wait for the recital):

"Diva" by Beyonce
"Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas
"Ease On Down the Road" by Diana Ross and Michael Jackson
"Beat It" by Fall Out Boy
"London Bridge" by Fergie
"This Is Halloween" by Marilyn Manson
"Tore My Heart" by Oona (this one is the one that started this cascade of choreography)
"Night of the Dancing Flame" by Roisin Murphy
"Ramalama (Bang Bang)" by Roisin Murphy
"Ruby Blue" by Roisin Murphy

That's not all of them, or even close to being all of them, but those are the ones I have started. I'm really excited for how these are turning out so far. I'm really finding my choreography "voice" and it's awesome. Although I'm very well aware that it's pretty weird. "This Is Halloween" is probably going to be my weirdest piece yet to date and I'm pretty pumped about it. It might top the vampires from last year. I also have dancing zombies this year. I still have a lot of songs to pick out...I guess I should do some "pretty" routines this year. Sigh...
