Can I customize a Sway formation template?
Yes. Templates are starting structures. Move dancers, rename them, adjust spacing, connect formations, and save team-specific versions.

Dance formation templates by team size
Templates save time when they match roster size and transition need. Use them as editable starting points, not finished choreography. The right template depends on how many bodies you have and what the next formation requires.
- Pick templates by roster size and the next transition.
- Small teams need compact focus; large teams need lanes and layers.
- Edit templates in Sway with named dancers before teaching.

Frequently asked questions
Which template should I start with for twelve dancers?
Start with a staggered line, arc, or two-cluster layout depending on whether the section needs symmetry, a featured dancer, or a big travel moment next.
