Introduction Of Choreography

This has to do with how dance is composed and arranged in terms of variety, order, beauty, time, and space.

Choreographer

The word “choreography” may also refer to the actual design. A choreographer is someone who makes choreographies through practising the art of choreography, also known as choreographing. Music theatre, cheerleading, cinematography, gymnastics, fashion shows, ice skating, marching bands, show choirs, theatre, synchronised swimming, card magic, video game creation, and animation art are just a few of the industries that employ choreography. Choreography is the use of human shape and movement in the performing arts. Dance choreography and dance composition are other names for choreography in dance.

The Greek words χoρεία (circular dance; see chorea) and ” are the root words of the term “choreography,” which means “dance-writing” in its literal sense (writing). The term “choreographer” first emerged in the American English vocabulary in the 1950s, and it was initially credited to George Balanchine in the 1936 Broadway production of On Your Toes. In the past, the choreographer was identified in the credits of stage productions and motion pictures by terms like “ensembles produced by,” “dances staged by,” or simply “dances by.”
