Definition: Choreography is the art of designing and arranging sequences of movements, especially in dance. It involves the creation and arrangement of dance compositions.
Etymology & Origin: The term ‘choreography’ is derived from the Greek words ‘khoreia,’ meaning ‘dance in chorus,’ and ‘graphein,’ meaning ‘to write.’ It was first used by Raoul-Auger Feuillet in 1701 to describe the notation system for dance.
Examples:
- The intricate choreography in the ballet captivated the audience with its precise and graceful movements.
- Modern choreography often blends different dance styles to create innovative performances.
- The choreography for the musical required meticulous planning to ensure all dancers moved in perfect synchronization.
