First of all,
- demonstrator, wow
Bearing in mind you'll be performing for the general public, I'd focus on the fact that it's a show, not an exhibition.
So you need to make it entertaining and interesting. Alas, that could mean you'll need to choose some popular-ish music first (well, relatively popular), then work it out from there.
I'm not totally convinced that a routine would be necessary, unless you think you'd be more confident with one - again, it's dancing for the public, they're not likely to notice or appreciate finer points of style. Music first, then clothing, then routine, would be my advice.
