NOTOC
Choreography is the art of designing sequences of movements in which motion, form, or both are specified. Choreography may also refer to the design itself, which is sometimes expressed by means of
dance notation. The word
choreography literally means "dance-writing" from the Greek words "χορεία" (circular dance, see
chorea) and "γραφή" (writing). A
choreographer is one who creates choreographies.
The term choreography first appeared in the American English dictionary in the 1950s.
