Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DRILL, the acronym used by Copeland, stands for Direction, Rhythm, Intensity, and Lever Length. Copeland used this acronym to describe a sensible approach for keeping choreography fresh without overwhelming participants; Copeland suggests only altering one element at a time to keep participants engaged and able to internalize choreography. The instructor who throws in multiple changes at once (for instance, by changing the direction of kick from left to right and by changing the style of kick from a bent knee to a straight knee) will find numerous participants frustrated and dropping out.
