I did my first beginner solos (and all subsequent ones) as improve. Choreography is necessary for ensemble dance, sure, but I toss my students into improve as soon as they've got three or four movements in their repertoire. Awkward at first, better with practice and encouragement. Haven't had any of them hang up their dance shoes then and there, either. 'Course, my students don't wear dance shoes.
