CHOREOGRAPHY

Choreography – This means planning and arranging dance steps to make a complete and meaningful dance performance.


Role of the Choreographer

Core Principles of Choreography
  1. Dynamics – This is how a movement is done, like whether it’s fast or slow, soft or strong, smooth or sharp. It adds feeling to the dance.

  2. Space – This is where the dancer moves on the stage, like going forward, backward, spinning, going high or low, or using the corners.

  3. Relationship – This shows how dancers connect or move with one another, such as dancing in pairs, in groups, close together or far apart.

  4. Actions – These are the actual dance steps and moves like jumping, turning, lifting, falling, twisting, or staying still.

  5. Body Parts – This is about which body parts are used during the dance, like the hands, legs, head, chest, or even the eyes.

  6. Order – This means the way the steps are arranged from the beginning to the end of the dance so it makes sense and flows well.
