Deepa,

In this thread (http://rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php? ... ts-p2.html), in post # 29, Sri Nageswaran has posted some links of songs sung by Sri Madhava Rao - one of them is a absolutely delightful daSAvatAra kriti - bArE gOpi bAlakanu aLuttAnE - where each avatAra is invoked in a oneliner to explain why the baby, krishNa, is crying - like he is wet, after matsyAvatAra, his back hurts after kUrmAvartAra, his cheeks hurt after varAha avatAra etc etc etc... If you can get your musicians to record it, you will have the freedom to have some lines elaborated for sancAris, and you can intersperse it with jatis/svaras for nritta. When I heard that song for the first time, I imagined it as a group choreography...

PurandaradAsA's dashAvatAra mangaLam is there.
Of course it may not lend itself to many sanchAris; it starts from 'mukuTa' and ends with 'charaNa' and for each part in this 'mukTAdi charaNa' description, one avatAra is mentioned:
eg. 'mukuTake mangaLam matsyavatArakE;
mukhakE mangaLam muddu kUrmanige
and ending as
'charaNakEmangaLam cheluva kalkigE'.
