Today is International Choreographer’s Day
A choreographer is a person who creates and arranges usually dances, but maybe fight scenes in film’s ect. They design the movements, patterns, and timing of steps to match music or a theme, and they decide how dancers/actors move individually and together in a performance.
Choreographers work in many settings, such as:
Dance performances (ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, cultural dances)
Musical theatre and opera
Films, TV shows, and music videos
Competitions and live events
Their job often includes:
Inventing dance sequences
Teaching dancers the choreography
Shaping the style, mood, and storytelling of a performance
Collaborating with directors, composers, and designers.
