Step 1
Look at the height of all your dancers. The usual order for high kick lines is the tallest dancer goes in the middle, and then the line goes down in height on each side. For a different look, you can arrange all the dancers in an ascending height line.
-
Step 2
Do high kicks for 16 counts alternating right leg kicks and left leg kicks. This is the traditional look for a kick line. You can also bring the leg up to a bent knee "passe" before doing the straight leg kick.
-
Step 3
Repeat several fan kicks on either the right side or left side. Crowds love the effect of the fan kicks. Do at least 8 kicks to get the full effect.
-
Step 4
Choreograph a complicated kick sequence in the dance to challenge the dancers. For example, do a right leg kick, left leg kick, fan kick right and fan kick left. This variation adds an interesting level of difficulty to your high kick routine.

Step 5
Kick and then go into a split. This can be done all at once or in a contagion. It looks like a row of falling dominoes when done one at a time.
