talent show demonstration suggestions?

yikes! we have a talent show during the
annual party and for my 10 minute turn
they've asked me to do yoga asanas.
i can't do power stuff that i could
not do well in front of 150 people.
it will have to be pretty tame stuff.
so what should i do? cybershalamates,
please offer suggestions. they also
asked for a costume. ha! so how
about just my long yoga pants and
tank top or a t-shirt? i can tell
you it will be cold in the place.
it's winter here and they don't
heat spaces. please make suggestions.
i can see me bring my space heater
and an extension cord!
thanks!

Hi Arturo!

Padangusthasana
Pada Hastasana
Trikonasana
Parsvakonasana
Parsvottanasana
Utkatasana
Virabhadrasana A
Virabhadrasana B
Dandasana
Paschimottanasana
Navasana (3)
Supta Konasana
Ubhaya Padangusthasana
Salabhasana A
Dhanurasana
Bakasana A

I made my sequence by looking for asana that would be comforting to do when nervous at the beginning (the standing poses), then I thought about asanas that would be easier to do when cool (or cold!), and then I thought about how these could flow together as a kind of "dance." The last criterion was that they all be somewhat visually "big" (meaning, they make a big shape -- I figure a crowd probably doesn't get a lot out of watching things like janu sirsasana, since the interesting part of the pose is hard to really see). Bakasana would be a sufficiently impressive ending :-)
