Choreography

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

Choreography (or "dance-writing") is the art of making dances. It tells dancers how they should dance and move.

A person who does choreography is called choreographer. A choreographer makes a dance based on music or a synopsis (a writing of what occurs in the dance).

[change] Origin

The word choreography was first seen in the American English dictionary in the 1950s.[1] Before this, people said "Dances Staged By,"[2] or "Dance Director"[3] to talk about choreographers.
