Creates a set of movements and steps, typically for dancers, usually to music.
From French 'choréographie' combining Greek 'choreia' (dance) and 'graphia' (writing). The term originally meant 'writing down dances' but evolved to mean 'composing dances.' The verb form emerged in the 19th century.
Before video recording existed, choreography was literally the only way to preserve dances—dancers had to 'read' written symbols the way musicians read sheet music. This is why the word literally means 'dance-writing.'
