Choreography


 * Choreography**

Choreography is the planning and arranging of the basic elements of dance – space, shape, time, and energy – into a finished dance composition. The term is used to describe the actual steps, groupings, and patterns of a dance composition. Choreography provides for creative expression through rhythmic motor activity. Choreography can involve using traditional steps of a particular dance structure, or it can represent a new composition.
