Choreographer

A Choreographer is a person who does choreography, a person who designs dance moves, dance routines, and fight scenes for performers, either professionally or as an amateur.

Dance: Choreographers create traditional and modern ballets, dance routines, routines for stage musicals etc. Choreographers do not write music, but they often liaise with a composer when creating an original work, and they work closely with the show's director. See Choreography.
