dancingleaffinally spent an hour or more doing a complete musical break down of Amarain by Amr Diab. my next choreography project.
Yes I am musically challenged which makes it harder than you think.
Basically I break it down into segments of roughly 30 seconds or less. I cut them into bits and save them individually so that I can choreograph them independently - for the purposes of teaching. If it was just me - I'd wing the whole d@mn thing.
Amr Diab is a big favourite among my students. The song is pleasant enough. There's a goodly amount of repetition. I don't hate it. yet. A little more Egyptian pop than I'd like, AND in Arabic - yippie. It's a big advantage to have lyrics in English... *sigh* (I did find a translation on Shira's site so that was very helpful.
so ... now I just have to put movements to the segments. *groan*

If I want to make them myself - I have to pick the easy repetitive songs.
