Choreographers

/ˈkɔriˌɑɡrəfərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of choreographer; multiple people who design and arrange the movements and patterns of dances.

Etymology

From 'choreographer' plus the standard English plural '-s.' The term became common as dance became a professionalized, studied art form.

Kelly Says

Famous choreographers like George Balanchine and Merce Cunningham completely changed what dance could be—they're artists whose work doesn't survive in any medium except through dancers' bodies repeating what they created, making their legacy as fragile as memory.
