It's time for the final stage of cooking, which will ensure the ribs have a crispy exterior. If you treated your ribs with a rub, you can skip the barbecue sauce, but either way it adds a flavor burst to the ribs. Paint the top of the ribs with a liberal amount of barbecue sauce. You can whip up your own barbecue sauce by simmering the following ingredients together for 30 minutes beforehand:  1 1/2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt Let them cook for an additional 10 minutes under the broiler, until the tops of the ribs turn brown and crispy. Place them on a plate to cool for a few moments. Barbecue beef ribs are excellent with  potato salad,  macaroni salad and extra barbecue sauce.

SUMMARY: Remove the ribs from the oven or grill. Open the foil and add  barbecue sauce. Place the ribs under the broiler. Remove the ribs from heat. Serve the ribs.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One of the most crucial parts of choreographing a dance is picking out the music. Pick a piece that you love, that makes you feel emotional and that inspires you to want to dance yourself.  Don’t worry about how long the piece is – you can always edit it to be longer or shorter using a program like GarageBand. Take a long walk and listen to the music you have on your iPod or phone. Make sure to pick a song that you like listening to. You’re going to be hearing it a lot. Your audience, in this case, is who you will be teaching the dance to. Your audience is important because it will guide your choreographic  choices, based on the audience's preference and skill levels.  For instance, you wouldn't teach the same dance to a group of experienced ballerinas that you would to an informal senior citizen's dance group. Consider tailoring your dance to a specific group. If you're trying to create a new dance fad, you may want to go on the simple side, as most people's dance skills are amateur. Dances don’t just appear out of nowhere – they are born from a choreographer’s thoughts and points of view. There are many ways to go about getting inspired to create a dance. Here are a few options:  Look at abstract designs and try to create movement that mimics what’s on the paper. Read a book and let a line from the book inspire movement. Try listening to the music you selected over and over and improvising a dance. Pick a mood or emotion and let that inspire the dance. Watch a movie and try to recreate a scene from the movie through movement. Let a story, a relationship or an abstract concept serve as the inspiration for the piece. The age and skill level of your dancers will determine a great deal about the dance. After all, it’s almost impossible to teach a hip hop routine to a bunch of 5-year-olds who have only ever taken ballet.  Think about how old the dancers are and how much dance experience they have. Then pick a style of dance that the dancers will be able to confidently execute. It’s okay to add in moves from different styles of dance. Decide how many people will be performing in the dance. Is it going to be a solo or a duet? Will there be a whole line of people? Decide if you yourself will be dancing or just choreographing. It’s much harder to choreograph an entire dance piece in one go. Instead, try breaking the song into verses or measures and creating sequences of movement for these smaller portions.  If you have a distinct movement, try to bring it back at different intervals throughout the piece. Make sure the movements you’re choreographing aren’t too hard for your dancers to perform. Write your notes down so you don’t forget them! Instead of fruitlessly trying to come up with new movements, assign yourself a simple task, like walking the dog or eating breakfast. Then improvise movements based on that task.  Once you have the movements for your simple task down, try drawing them out or speeding them up so they feel more like dance. Rearrange the moves to create a new, more interesting sequence of movements. Dance, like all art, is subjective. Don’t get caught up in whether your dance looks like every other dance – just create a dance that showcases your point of view as a choreographer.  It’s okay to be inspired by other dances, but don’t steal a dance move for move. Don’t get upset if your dance doesn’t come out exactly how you envisioned – there’s no such thing as a perfect dance.

SUMMARY:
Pick a piece of music. Figure out your audience. Find your inspiration. Determine the style of the dance. Choreograph in short spurts. Give yourself a dance prompt. Have fun and be true to yourself.
